Re: What card do you all use?

Re: What card do you all use?

CSR travel (not airfare) and dining
Freedom 5x as it rotates
Amex EDP groceries 4.5x. I also buy Visa GCs at grocery stores and use those at Costco, which gets the bulk of my grocery spend.

Flights: Citi Prestige (best insurance coverage)
Online shopping; Citi Att Access more (3x for all online shopping. I also get 24m extended warranty plus citi price rewind)

Everything else: united club card. I value United miles at 2.4c so 1.5x is decent and beats my fidelity visa 2% CB. I also need to put $25k per year on it at least to qualify for united PQM waiver.

Not used but kept for benefits:
Amex Platinum
Ritz
SPG - keeping to see what happens w Amex vs chase and the Marriott merger

I'd prob use SPG as my daily driver for non category because you can indirectly get united miles

SPG--> 3x Marriott = nights and miles promo w united

I shd add that my main airline is united and thus I use united miles first. Then Amex and Citi TYP via Singapore. I hoard my chase UR for now until the first two programs are depleted

Re: What card do you all use?

I'm using Discover for wholesale (10% effective CB until this statement closes), Freedom for groceries (5%), and SPG for anything else except when I am meeting a spend bonus.  For Q3, I should have no problem maxing out Discover and Freedom for 5% on restaurants, and wholesale will likely go on NFCU for the 4% back since my BJ's card has a 0% balance transfer going.  Exceptions would be stores I have cards for: Best Buy (6%), Target (5%), Amazon (5%), Lowe's (5% but I may only use that to stretch out purchases now that I am set up for the 10% veteran discount which doesn't stack with the 5% off on the card) and Kohl's (up to 30% off).  As someone else said, I use Amex Platinum for very large purchases (protection and doesn't affect my utilization) and for the 5x MR on airfare.

Re: What card do you all use?

Well I am trying to gain the best travel rewards. My GF has a SPG so she uses that and I use the Chase CSR & FU for UR points. I was just seeing about recommendations for gas and grocery to maybe get MR or UR (other than the Freedom)

My Amex BCE is my every day card, if for some reason it's not accepted than I use either my Discover or my Wells Fargo (i honestly can't even remember which WF card it is, I rarely use it unless at Costco).

For the next year the bulk of my spend will be on my new discover it miles card to maximize year end match.
