Re: Fav card to pay with?

Mine has been minimum spend meeting for the past 6 months with various cards. Currently the chase freedom. After I meet that, probably my BCE if the freedom and it don't match what I'm buying.

Might get another in 3 months if I can... I like sign up bonuses
Discover Tu 730(2/14) DCU Eq 725(2/28)

Bouncing back from new accts and inqs. Hope to be back over 760 soon.

What is your fav card to pull out of your wallet and to pay with? And why?


Since I got it recently, I have been putting everything on my Citi ThankYou Premier card...especially dining and restaurant purchases (3X points).  However, since Starbucks is a category in the 5% cashback this quarter...I have been using my Chase Freedom card for that.  

 

Like others have said, I use the card that yields the greatest rewards.  But in general, the two that I use the most are Freedom and ThankYou Premier.

I tend to use my Amex when I want to make an impression: otherwise my default spend goes on my Freedom (effective 1.1% CB and I'm mad stockpiling UR points this year for a CSP approval next year for a 20% discount on my flight to Europe)!


The Amex is an impression maker for me as well. I also like to pay with my CSP when I'm out and about eating or hanging out socially.

 

My Kroger 123 card is my least favorite card to pay with. I hate that card.

Which ever card is giving me the most points for that purchase. I will never understand people who see CC's as "status symbols" if you need a card to feel special your obviously not... I am thinking of one acquaintance in particular. All about the points baby!
