Those credit-card miles can take off without you
Margo R. Kaufman has a message for people who choose credit cards based on their reward programs: Those rewards can be taken away.
About two years ago, Kaufman and her husband accepted an offer for a Capital One "No Hassle Rewards" card. The couple used the card regularly, mainly because it promised two airline miles -- on any carrier -- for every dollar spent. They accumulated 55,785 miles, enough to get a ticket to Europe on some airlines.
But before they could use the miles, Boris died. Capital One responded by canceling the card and rescinding the miles, Kaufman said.
