Carey Alexander http://consumerist.com Blueprint for Financial Prosperity reminds us that credit cards carry more discounts than we realize. Visa, MasterCard, and American Express all offer discounts for cardholders. Discover's discounts are limited to business accounts.

If you have more than one card, shop around for the ideal discount. Both Visa and MasterCard offer savings at ACE Hardware; Visa's is $15 off a $75 purchase and free shipping, while MasterCard offers $10 off a $50 purchase, but no free shipping. If you are hungry, American Express offers discounts at restaurants.

You can't redeem these offer simply by using the right card to by the item at a brick-and-mortar store. The discounts listed on the websites are redeemable either as a printout coupon or an online discount code at checkout. — CAREY GREENBERG-BERGER

You have to use their "ShopDiscover" pages as a starting point though.

Also, on really large projects (IE: major construction, corporate purchases), you might actually get the contractor to give you a discount to use the CC instead checks & purchase orders. That way the company gets their money immediately rather than waiting for you to cut 'em a check.
