LOL that's true. Good summary. I love my QFF points :) Even thinking of buying an engagement ring on the Visa but then found out Signature Visa attracts a credit card surcharge.

most retail jewellers don't have a CC surcharge as far as I know, it'd kill their business.

if you can get an amex either by itself or with a bank, they have huge reward points. i get 1.5 per dollar compared to .5 on the visa lol.

Buying from a diamond wholesaler/importer so it's a little different. Funnily enough she said if your Visa card is Platinum, Signature or Black then you have to pay 1% surcharge otherwise no surcharge. Unfortunately I have one of each but no "normal" Visa cards :( AMEX was out of the question too.

that seems very odd to discriminate on the platinum cards... usually theyd throw more bennies than punish you for using it.

just get a fee free regular visa and cancel it after you paid it off buying the ring :p
