I'd figure out something you'd use a lot and get a rewards card that gives you points toward that. My Lowe's Visa was awesomeness when I re-did the bathroom because I used it to pay for everything, paid it off right away (because I had the cash) and got a ton of money in rewards, which were like using gift cards to buy the last minute things for the bathroom. Saved me about $80.00 total. Since you're getting ready to move away from family, an airlines rewards Visa could be an idea.
