Inflation Hits Credit Card Rewards Programs
It seems that even your credit card’s rewards points are not safe from the terror of inflation. This is a real credit card offer I got the other day (click for larger image):
Are we supposed to be fooled by this? I’ll let things sink in a bit before I do any speculating as to why this might be a good deal (for us or the bank).

LOL…. very good catch, and good observation skills! I’d like a card that gives me 10 points per $1 but requries 250,000 points for a ticket.
Almost as bad as Google Finance giving me bad quotes. The eyes can be easily fooled!

Clearly……a card for those who like to collect points!

Wachovia is taking us for idiots.
