Credit-card points aren’t the only rewards you can get for swiping plastic this holiday season. There are additional deals at many retailers for users of Visa, MasterCard and American Express cards.

You can save $10 off any purchase of $70 or more at Brookstone, that wonderland of bizarre gadgetry, when you buy online and pay with Visa. If Paula Deen bake ware is more your thing, J.C. Penney Co. is offering a special discount to Visa users, too: 15 percent off an online order of $49 or more.
