I agree that benefits are all that matters.   But which the "best" very much depends on your spend and goals.   


Exactly. Perhaps your goals are to pay for entertainment on a Saturday night, then clearly the Saturday Night Live MasterCard rules!

To each their own my friend.  It's my most used card. 

 

Freedom not having two gas quarters this year sucks though. 


At least the New Mexico Educators Cash Rewards card still has 5% on Gas Stations for 2 quarters.

I may try for this one when my EX looks a little less inquiry heavy and I am able to consolidate some of my Chase CC's.

Ok, since this thread has taken quite a few turns, I want to take it on another...

 

This may be a silly question, but if you have two Sallie Mae cards in your name, do you have two seperate rewards accounts? Or do they share the same? If my spouse applies for the card, he will have a seperate rewards account, even if I am an AU, correct?

 

Also, do you all see Barclay's retiring this card, or changing the rewards any time soon?

 

I just applied and was approved today. I just don't know if two cards is necessary. I have a DiscoverIt for backup gas for 6 months of the year, and the BCE for backup groceries (it was my main but is being demoted).


That is correct. And at 5% cash back, you very quickly reach $25 on each of the cards. You don't hear people using 1% cash back cards complaining about how long it takes to reach $5, now do you? ...

Re: Sallie Mae Credit Card

Ok man who can spill the beans.  How did you go about getting two and how likely is it I could do the same?  Did you just get lucky or do you think I have a chance.  excellent credit FWIW.

Easiest way seems to be getting two instant approvals within months of each other.

 

I may be able to finagle a second one later this year if I play my cards right...But I think I may go for the Ring instead.

Living part time in Seattle and part time in Tucson, I concur. Especially this time of year.


It's not so bad.  Beats the 35 years I lived in south GA where I dealt with god awful heat AND humidity for 6 months of the year...  the bugs made it even worse.  I've been here almost 4 years now and really enjoy the mild climate.  Sure it's gray in the winter but if I needed sun every day I'd have moved to California.

 

Regarding the hot blonde from last night, she was impressed with my blue sparkly Sallie Mae... told me it was quite the good looking credit card.  Smiley Wink


Sure she was referring to the card? Smiley Happy
