    Nice pop on AXP. Glad I covered that one last week. Makes for another chance to short! :) Reminder: AXP lost Costco as a client. Can't be good long term.

    Costco lost our business because of AXP. They have us 1, 2 and 3 percent on our spending. Sam's club has a MasterCard that offered 1, 3 and 5 percent on our spending. We called AXP and said hey, this is what we are being offered what will you do? They said nothing.

    So we quit Costco and went to Sam's club.

    5% back from a credit card?! At least you can still go to Costco for the cheap/fast food. I'm waiting for the day Costco goes to the fast food arena with their ready-made pizza, chicken, hot dogs...They could at least replace Little Caesars right?

    No problem Cy.

    And yeah, the 5℅ is for gas up to $6,000 a year. 3% on hotels, travel, and dining out. 1% on everything else.

    For me I choose Sam's Club over Costco since it is just a 10 minute walk for me from my home to Sam's Club lol, more convenient to me.
