We should be up around the $2800-$3000 mark by then so it will be nice. One thing to note...the maximum is $5000 not $2500...so this makes it all the more attractive if you are looking to purchase a vehicle in the next 5 years.

Here in Canada, I was able to apply for a Amex card (It is called Platinum Costco Cash Rebate card), which doubles as a Costco card and gives upto 1.5% cashback on all purchases.

Which brings me to one of the best blog posts I have read in a long time about cash-back credit cards. Okay, the hottest thing going today, in the financial realm, is the “Cash Back” credit card. Almost every major credit card issuer is offering one of these “wonderful” things, promising you cash back for the purchases you make. Some promise cash back for groceries, gas, or everyday purchases. You can get bonus miles, bonus cash, and bonus gift cards. Wow!
