How about Discover More for online shopping? At least 5% cash back from their partner online merchants.
Plan to refi my vehicle with NFCU and possibly either a NavChek or a 2nd NFCU card to be done towards early 2013 then no more app'ing til we decide to buy another house which is hopefully not until 2014 but things have been known to change.

I thought MORE was dead and rewards operated on a quarterly cycle. Could be wrong but I no longer see it on the webpage.

Tough call for me. Every drop of my blood straight-up hates BofA, and the Fido is FIA-backed, which is BofA. In a terrible twist of unfortunate irony, Fidelity is my investment house. I'd have to swallow real hard on this one.

Why not? Because I totally missed this one!!! I'm thinking this is the winner, plus baking Citi into my 2013 cake would be sweet... if they'll have me again. I never burned them but they shut me down in 09 when I had a zero balance. I will look closer into Forward.

The Discover More is still available. More info here:
BofA BankAmericard Cash Rewards offer 3% back on gas, by the way...
MORE looks like a quarterly category rotating card. BofA-backed cards are out for now. Like I said, avoiding them at all cost.

Shopdiscover's cashback is not rotating at all.
Priceline is Barclays rather than BoA, hope that isn't as bad as BoA!

How do I eat there? J/K. I'm looking for a card that kicks back rewards at restaurants. I travel a bit and generally spend a good chunk of time on the road.

Thanks, so far Barclays likes me.
I shafted BofA for a good chunk of $ on a short sale... They're more likely to extend a middle finger to me than credit anyway. Haha.

The Discover Open Road offers 2% cash back, but the monthly cap is $250...
