I know my scores aren't the best but I want to app for a card that gets extra points or cash back for dining out. Chase offers a few and that's kind of what I am leaning towards but I don't think I will get approved at this time. When I do apply which card should I get?

• Costco Amex - 2% on restaurants
• Chase Amazon Visa - 2% on restaurants
• Citi TY Preferred/Premier - 2X points on dining and entertainment (love their liberal definitions of dining and entertainment...unfortunately, TY points ain't worth much)
• Chase CSP - 2X points on dining and **insert requisite comment about UR points being worth more than 1 cent if transferred to travel partners** (useless if you don't travel)

Hi - You effectively get 2% cash back at restaurants with the CSP.  If you spend $5000.00 you get 10000 points.  If you use these these for a statement credit or a direct deposit to a bank account this would give you a $100.00 credit or 2 cents per dollar spend. (still 1 cent per point)

So, nobody likes the US Bank Cash+ with 5% cash back on Restaurants? Or the list of cards with 3%?

A lot of people like the US Bank cash plus. It's mainly an apply in branch type of card but people have had success calling their app in over the phone. Us bank tends to be a more conservative lender so the card is harder to get. The aarp card is well the aarp card. I don't think a lot of people want aarp card if your 25 years old lol and especially not for an extra 1% over chase amazon which I believe is a better card.

I listed it earlier in the thread along with the chase aarp that gives 3% :-) It actually was on my list of cards to get , but decided going to use CSP instead for dining for my pruposes , and may use that TU pull for new barclay arrival + card
