Thank you for posting this, we also have a facebook page, nfb travel and tourism, if you can also post this to that page.
We do hope you will be joining us in Dallas this year.
Also, I might have a monthly show on wtoe radio.
I was speaking to the people the run that station with President Ruffalo, and we are thinking of working together.  I will send them my radio podcasts, and they will play it once a month.
I am getting syndicated wow, how nice.
Anyway, and Stephanie, thank you for posting both articles

> (MoneyWatch) Like mammals and surgeons, credit cards have specialized. 
> Every  card is not interchangeable; if you're looking for one that offers the 
> most  airline miles, it won't be the same card that optimizes for low interest 
> rates,  purchase insurance, or other rewards. Recently, finance site 
> _CardHub _ (http://www.cardhub.com/best-travel-credit-cards/) released its  list 
> of the best travel credit cards of 2012, and it's a great read for anyone  
> who spends a lot of time on the road for business or pleasure.  
> CardHub highlights six credit cards. Three are identified with offering the 
>  best initial bonus, and the remaining three have the best ongoing rewards. 
>  Here's the overview: 
> Best Initial Bonus 
> The _Chase  Sapphire Preferred _ 
> (http://www.cardhub.com/d/chase-sapphire-preferred-credit-card-382c/) offers 40,000 bonus points. The reward kicks in 
> after you  spend $3,000 in the first three months. There is no annual fee 
> for the first  year, nor are there foreign transaction fees for purchases made 
> abroad. 
> The _British  Airways Credit Card _ 
> (http://www.cardhub.com/d/british-airways-credit-card-1044c/) provides 50,000 bonus miles after first purchase and 
> up  to 50,000 additional miles. There are no foreign transaction fees and 
> can be  used to make chip-based purchases in Europe, but do be prepared for a 
> $95 annual  fee right out of the gate. 
> The _Hilton  HHonors Surpass Credit Card _ 
> (http://www.cardhub.com/d/hilton-hhonors-surpass-credit-card-485c/) delivers 60,000 bonus points (40,000 
> after first  purchase and 20,000 after $3,000 in charges). You'll pay a $75 
> annual fee and a  2.7 percent foreign transaction fee. 
> Best Ongoing Reward 
> The _Capital  One Venture Card _ 
> (http://www.cardhub.com/d/capital-one-venture-rewards-credit-card-378c/) pays a $100 initial bonus and then 2 percent 
> cash back  across all purchases when you redeem miles for travel-related 
> purchases. The  Venture Card charges no foreign transaction fees, and there's 
> no annual fee the  first year. 
> The _PenFed Platinum  Rewards _ 
> (http://www.cardhub.com/d/penfed-rewards-credit-card-670c/) offers 5 points per dollar spent on gas, 3 points per 
> dollar on  groceries, 1 point per dollar on everything else, and offers a $250 
> initial  bonus. There is no an annual fee or foreign transaction fees. To take 
> advantage,  you need to belong to the Pentagon Federal Credit Union, which 
> costs a one-time  $15 fee. 
> The _American  Express Blue Cash Preferred _ 
> (http://www.cardhub.com/d/blue-cash-preferred-credit-card-547c/) charges a $75 annual fee, but in return 
> you get  a $150 initial bonus, 6 percent cash back at supermarkets, 3 percent 
> cash back  at gas stations and department stores, and 1 percent cash back 
> everywhere else.  On the downside, American Express does charge a 2.7 percent 
> foreign transaction  fee. 
> Be sure to check out _CardHub _ (http://www.cardhub.com/) for more  details 
> on these, as well as other "best" card roundups, such as _best for business 
> _ (http://www.cardhub.com/best-business-credit-card/) and _best  rewards_
