			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span>We make cards fun and easy to search for online. Surely you recall trying to locate that perfect card on the chain store&#8217;s endcap. Some are too silly, others are too bland; sometimes you want one that doesn&#8217;t play a tinny song. Making cards yourself is the option many take up, but in this rushing, busy world, such a thing is rarely viable. That&#8217;s why InvitationBox makes it easy to browse thousands of cards with just a few clicks. You can find exactly what you need with no hassle. Even your kids could do it! We make finding Christmas Cards fun and easy. Don&#8217;t settle for a card that &#8216;mostly works&#8217;.

Whether it&#8217;s a birthday or a baptism, a nice invitation can make up your would-be or will-be guest&#8217;s mind whether they know it or not.

With that said, a written invitation is more and more likely to stand out as unique, with each passing day. Whether your stationary stands out as good or bad becomes the decision you make with what stationary you select. Choose nothing but the best!</span></p>

<p>There seems to be a general panic going on these days in the economy. Many people are hoarding their money and afraid to spend anything, waiting for the next financial shoe to drop. Some are even giving up on vacations they had been planning for, because they&#8217;re not sure what the financial markets will do. But I&#8217;m here to tell you there is no reason to give up on taking a great trip.</p>
<p>The key is to let someone else pay for much of the trip. Don’t think you know of anyone who will do that? Well you may not have to look any further than your wallet. </p>
<p>You may have heard of travel rewards credit cards but never really looked into them in the past. Now is the time to start looking. There are a number of kinds of travel rewards credit cards on the market.</p>
<p>Airline Miles Credit Cards </p>
<p>Many airlines are offering their own credit cards so you will be more loyal to them. If there is a carrier you regularly use, this may not be a bad idea. You can quickly rack up points on these cards to use for a free trip to anywhere the airline flies.</p>
<p>Some of the best airline miles credit cards are those don&#8217;t limit you to one airline, meaning you can travel anywhere there is an airport.</p>
<p>Hotel Rewards Credit Cards</p>
<p>Want to stay in a nice ritzy place on your next vacation, but don&#8217;t think you can afford it? Sure you can if you have a hotel rewards credit card. These cards let you use the points on the card to get free or discounted room stays. Some even offer extras like discounts at the spas and restaurants of the hotel.</p>
<p>Rental Car Rewards Cards</p>
<p>Many credit cards offer rewards towards rental car companies. This is a great way to travel if you really want to get to see an area. There&#8217;s nothing like taking a trip across the countryside on your own terms and time schedule.</p>
<p>If you really want the best travel rewards credit cards you will look for cards that will let you do all of the above – cash in the points for airline miles, hotel stays and rental cars.</p>
<p>The secret to being able to use all of these perks is earning the points. Start moving whatever household bills you can to your best travel rewards credit cards, pay them off at the end of the month and save up the points to use when you&#8217;re ready.</p>

Sometimes when you travel (ask most seasoned travellers) it just seems that there is only so much plastic in your wallet that you can take.

The reason I make this comment stems from a situation that arose several years ago from an abortive shopping trip for a new gentleman’s wallet. The reason for this was that the old one couldn’t take any more plastic cards and having crucified it by trying to jam more cards into it than it would reasonably take it expired rather spectacularly in the duty free area ...]]></description>

<p>Sometimes when you travel (ask most seasoned travellers) it just seems that there is only so much plastic in your wallet that you can take.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>The reason I make this comment stems from a situation that arose several years ago from an abortive shopping trip for a new gentleman’s wallet. The reason for this was that the old one couldn’t take any more plastic cards and having crucified it by trying to jam more cards into it than it would reasonably take it expired rather spectacularly in the duty free area at Terminal 1 in London’s Heathrow airport where it proceeded to explode credit cards, driving license et all over a rather embarrassed sales assistant in the wines and spirits section!</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Having failed in my search for an even larger wallet (not to do with earning larger and fatter fees I might add just laziness) I was told by one salesman that “perhaps you are carrying too much sir”.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>The reason for this all is that hardly a day appears to go by without some travel organisation or other trying to foist some new rewards programme or Credit Card scheme onto us poor unsuspecting traveller. Sometimes when you are rushing through the nearest terminal on your never ending rush to get to the departure gate before the flight closes life can seem like a re-enaction from a seventies computer game. Very much in the style of a Pac man you find yourself trying to dodge one sales person after another trying to politely ask you “have you this card sir?” or have you tried this colour of card, with this free bonus etc?”</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>In appreciate that in the deepest recesses of some advertising agencies creative department someone has come up with the bright idea “I know where we’ll sell some new Travel Credit Cards? Let’s sell them where people are already in the mental mode of “travelling”. Let’s sell them at Airports and Railways Stations.” Great idea lets try and sell something that essentially people don’t want at places where they really don’t want to consider buying it. Let’s really try and annoy people further!</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>I would be very interested in seeing the marketing statistics behind this logic because I for one do not wish to have to step round or dodge one more sales person trying to sell me something I really don’t want to buy in my quest to get home on time. Now I know these marketing geeks will argue very persuasively in the marketing data to support their campaigns but when confronted with this type of statistics based logic I am always reminded of the age old maxim that “there lies, damn lies….and statistics!” </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Very much like the character played by Steve Martin in Trains Planes Automobiles (one of my favourite travel films) when I get to the airport late for a plane. I don’t want to be accosted constantly by some “effervescent, ever pleasant” sales person asking me “do you have such and such a card etc?” </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>I just want to get home, Is this too much to ask?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img style="float:left;margin: 0 20px 10px 0;" src="http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1231/653713028_fc431f141e_m.jpg" width="160" /><br />
Travel rewards cards let you accumulate rewards points as you spend.  Those points can then be used for rewards like airline miles or discounts on hotel stays and other travel expenses.  The number of points accumulated and the value of the points vary from card to card, and so do their expiration periods and the options that they can be redeemed for.  Here are five tips to help you choose the best travel rewards credit card for you: <br/><br/>1. Consider your credit needs and habits.  While getting points towards your travel expenses may be your primary focus, make sure that you know what else you need out of a credit card.  Do you need a low APR or no annual fee?  Are you looking for a good introductory APR for a large purchase or balance transfer?   <br/><br/>2. Consider what kind of reward is most important to you.  Are you looking for a specific reward such as airline miles, or a reward with several redemption options?  Are you most interested in rewards usable with a specific company?  Which of the rewards offers has the most appeal for you? <br/><br/>3. Read the fine print.  Make sure you pay attention to factors like the APR and any fees that might apply to you as well as the terms of the rewards program.  Look carefully at how fast rewards points accumulate, what transactions qualify for rewards points, and when the points expire.   <br/><br/>4. Compare several cards to find the best one.  With a good understanding of what you want out of the credit card and its rewards program, you are well equipped to compare offers and choose the best one for you.  Look at several offers to increase the odds of finding one that matches what you want.  <br/><br/>5. Check several sources of information.  The Federal Reserve publishes a survey of credit card terms every six months, and there are a wide range of websites where you can compare credit card offers and apply online.  This provides you with more options to choose from. <br/><br/></p>

If you are an avid traveler, you probably already have a frequent flier account with your favorite airline, but do you have a travel rewards credit card? While earning miles is always a good thing, being able to earn miles and more is even better. That is what a travel rewards card can do for you.When you are looking for the best travel rewards credit cards out there, start by looking for the features that are most important to you on this list.Airline Miles If you already have quite an accumulation of frequent flier miles, but would like to see that number grow more quickly, you may want to consider getting a travel rewards credit card that feeds miles into your frequent flier program. There are cards available for every airline. Yet, some of the best airline miles credit cards are the ones that allow you to use miles on any airline you wish. That way you go where you want, when you want, even if your favorite airline doesn&#8217;t offer that destination.Rental Vehicles If you drive a lot once you get to your destination you may be more interested in a travel rewards credit card that offers money back on your car rentals. Many travel rewards credit cards have programs to allow you major discounts on rental cars, some of the best travel rewards credit cards will even let you use your points for free rentals.Hotel StaysNo matter were you are traveling, you need a place to sleep at the end of the day. If your frequent flier account gives you enough to get to your destination, let your travel rewards credit card pay for the place to sleep. Many of these cards will allow you to cash in points for hotel stays all over the world.DiningAnother perk of many travel rewards credit cards is that they will allow you to cash in points for gift certificates to restaurants and other retailers. These gift certificates could mean more free meals on the town and less out of pocket expense.How to Make the Most of Travel Rewards Credit CardsOnce you have started using a travel rewards credit card, make sure to make it work for you. You should make a habit of charging every travel related expense on the card. Often you will get bonus points for charges for airfare, hotel stays or other travel related expenses. Additionally, if you were thinking of making a substantial purchase by writing a check or paying cash, you may want to change that plan. Instead, charge the item on the travel card, get the points, and pay it off in the same month. It&#8217;s like a same as cash plan, with the bonus of getting the points towards your future trips. <br/><br/></p>

Sometimes when you travel (ask most seasoned travellers) it just seems that there is only so much plastic in your wallet that you can take.
The reason I make this comment stems from a situation that arose several years ago from an abortive shopping trip for a new gentleman’s wallet. The reason for this was that the old one couldn’t take any more plastic cards and having crucified it by trying to jam more cards into it than it would reasonably take it expired rather spectacularly in the duty free area ...]]></description>

Sometimes when you travel (ask most seasoned travellers) it just seems that there is only so much plastic in your wallet that you can take.</p>
<p>The reason I make this comment stems from a situation that arose several years ago from an abortive shopping trip for a new gentleman’s wallet. The reason for this was that the old one couldn’t take any more plastic cards and having crucified it by trying to jam more cards into it than it would reasonably take it expired rather spectacularly in the duty free area at Terminal 1 in London’s Heathrow airport where it proceeded to explode credit cards, driving license et all over a rather embarrassed sales assistant in the wines and spirits section!</p>
<p>Having failed in my search for an even larger wallet (not to do with earning larger and fatter fees I might add just laziness) I was told by one salesman that “perhaps you are carrying too much sir”.</p>
<p>The reason for this all is that hardly a day appears to go by without some travel organisation or other trying to foist some new rewards programme or Credit Card scheme onto us poor unsuspecting traveller. Sometimes when you are rushing through the nearest terminal on your never ending rush to get to the departure gate before the flight closes life can seem like a re-enaction from a seventies computer game. Very much in the style of a Pac man you find yourself trying to dodge one sales person after another trying to politely ask you “have you this card sir?” or have you tried this colour of card, with this free bonus etc?”</p>
<p>In appreciate that in the deepest recesses of some advertising agencies creative department someone has come up with the bright idea “I know where we’ll sell some new Travel Credit Cards? Let’s sell them where people are already in the mental mode of “travelling”. Let’s sell them at Airports and Railways Stations.” Great idea lets try and sell something that essentially people don’t want at places where they really don’t want to consider buying it. Let’s really try and annoy people further!</p>
<p>I would be very interested in seeing the marketing statistics behind this logic because I for one do not wish to have to step round or dodge one more sales person trying to sell me something I really don’t want to buy in my quest to get home on time. Now I know these marketing geeks will argue very persuasively in the marketing data to support their campaigns but when confronted with this type of statistics based logic I am always reminded of the age old maxim that “there lies, damn lies….and statistics!” </p>
<p>Very much like the character played by Steve Martin in Trains Planes Automobiles (one of my favourite travel films) when I get to the airport late for a plane. I don’t want to be accosted constantly by some “effervescent, ever pleasant” sales person asking me “do you have such and such a card etc?” </p>
<p>I just want to get home, Is this too much to ask? <br/><br/></p>
