This is an excellent cash rebate credit card. There is no annual fee, and once you hit an annual spending level of $6500, the cash rebate becomes 5% for “everyday” charges made at grocery stores, pharmacies and gas stations and 1.25% for all other purchases. That can …

Alertpay Online Banking Merchant
This is one of those online banking merchants that I see as some serious competition for the likes of Paypal and the only difference I see between Alertpay and the competition is that Alertpay is a follower and is on the trail of the pioneer.

Oanda.com online forex
Oanda’s trading platform allows minimum trading size of 100 units or US$0.01. Another unparallel factor is the ability to trade ‘non-standard’ units like 152 units, 245 units…etc. So far, I haven’t see any online forex firm offering this little trading lot size. The norms are usually 1,000 units or US$0.10. …
