YZ, the idea of getting the rewards on the card is nice. However, I'm not certain you will get them. Generally, the seller of the merchandise has to pay for those rewards and I have a feeling that Secretary Snow won't do it unless he gets snookered. Also, the interest rate is pretty light in the loafers when you can get 6-9% tax free on AA quality CEFs, which beats the govvy deal by a factor of 3 to 4 times after tax. However, the latter requires a larger sum than the I-bonds.
