Best credit card to use to renew wholesale memberships? In reading the fine print, I don't think my Costco credit card earns any points on using it to renew the actual membership each year.

Is there a better card to put these regular, annual charges on? I know we're talking about not a lot of dollars here, but looking to optimize some other items as well, and this is just one piece.

I use my BAC customized cash rewards with the setting as online purchases. With preferred rewards, I get 5.25% cash back. I renew my membership online instead of in club.

An alternative could be having the Chase ink business cash. Buy visa or Mastercard gift card at office supply store for 5x points. Use the gift card to renew membership.

3% for online shopping (selected category) with 75% multiplier with my preferred rewards status. I renew online instead of in club. I also buy gift cards online and then use them in club to maximize my value back b
