(It's only open to military members and their families.) Their debit rewards is pretty decent as far as debit rewards programs go. I get 0.5% cash back per purchase that is rung up at the register like a credit card. It's not a lot, but it is usually a couple dollars a month. Thanks for the good advice! Folks, check the terms of your rewards card! :) I have USAA Federal Savings Bank, which is a great bank. (It’s only open to military members and their families.)

I just got an offer for my Wachovia debit visa card to register it for visa rewards program. 5000 points just for registering (free). Well, unlike you, the only time I use mine is when purchasing a money order to pay for the apartment. Still, I decided to register just to get 5000 points. Woohoo! Free money/gift cards! Right? WRONG! Unlike most rewards programs that you can get a decent reward for 5000 points ($30-$50 cash or similar amount in gift cards), 5000 points in debit card rewards program is worth... wait for it... $4!!!!!! Of course, YMMV, but watch out for these! Dima Just wanted to add that one should look at the debit card rewards carefully.
