Nusenda CU Platinum Cash Rewards rotator (5% for this quarter), when thats not active, Golden1 CU platinum rewards (3% CB year round)


Ah, that's a nice find for me.  Haven't had much luck with California-based CU's but somehow never found them before.  Thank you for posting that!

 

On topic: Freedom for quarterly bonus when available, Fidelity Amex when not.   Citi Forward was the only card which I have felt like "got away" during my credit journey heh, knowing what I know now should've just taken the swing when I had the chance.

I'm using Freedom this quarter and I'll use Cash + next quarter (5% fast food/2% restaurants).

Re: What card are you using for restaurant spend?

I've been using my Forward card primarily, but have shifted some spend to my Discover card this quarter, because they've been so gracious lately with CLIs Smiley Happy  This reminds me that I need to put some kind of spend on my Freedom card though - I haven't used it at all in the last 7 months or so.

800+ across all three (via FAKOs) has been achieved! Current goal - Get down to 6 cards in total - sitting with 8 currently.

When there aren't any quarterly bonuses for restaurants for Freedom or Discover, I use my AARP for restaurants. 3% cashback at restaurants and it is a surprisingly flashy card. Smiley Happy


Was interested in the AARP, but now: use SimplyCash for 3% back dining, no min/max, rewards applied right after statement generates.  I still use Amazon for 2% with smaller establishments, and those that don't take Amex, get 2%.  Later, transform Amazon into Ink Cash.
