 TITLE: 7 Ways to Make Money Fast CONTENT: Check for Credit Card Rewards\n-----------------------------\nIf you have a credit card that earns you rewards when you make purchases, you may be able to redeem your cash back, points or miles to get some relief during hard times. If you haven't checked your rewards account recently, you may be sitting on a gold mine.\nCash back rewards are the most versatile because you can use cash for just about anything. Alternatively, some points and miles programs let you redeem your rewards for gift cards you can use like cash at popular retailers.\nOne thing to look out for, though: Some points and miles programs also allow you to redeem your rewards for cash back, but at a reduced value compared with other redemption methods. While some programs, such as Chase Ultimate Rewards, give you 1 cent per point in value on cash back redemptions, many others give you as little as 0.5 cents each. END
