Re: What is your go to card?? (List order)

Ink Plus,  Arrival Plus. 

 

 I virtually get 5 UR points everywhere because I buy one too many gift cards at Staples lol. And a packet of gum too Smiley Wink haha.

 

And everything else just goes on the Arrival.

That's all. The other 18 are stored and only used every six months to keep them active.

 

The other credit I have at my disposal are five personal lines of credit. Again, I use them once every 6 months to keep them active and for one of them, if I use it once a year, the $25 annual fee (Citi I think) is waived.

 

Upwards of $300,000+ total in credit.


DAMN! That's impressive! So you do have to utilize LOC's the same as CC's to keep them active? 


^^^^^^^^^^^^^

The Citi PLOC I use at least once a year to waive the $25 annual. I don't know for sure if I have to use the PLOC to keep them active, but it doesn't hurt to use them once every 6 months. I just transfer $100 from the PLOC to checking, and then pay it off in a week, the interest is under 25 cents each time. I am afraid they may close since with credit cards one time I didn't use it and tried to use it over a year later and it was closed for inactivity, so I called and asked how come no one told me, they said, we sent you a letter, I said I never got it, they said, you can apply again (HP!), I did, and got it back. So with PLOC after having worked hard (sending in paystubs, tax docs, etc). I do not want to lose them, so I use them once every 6 months.

My fave go-to card is NFCU Visa Signature. 1.5% cashback, and I love how the cashback works. As soon as a purchase hits your account, you can move the cashback to checking or savings if you wish. No minimum. No waiting.

 

I also saved a ton of money by using the NFCU shopping portal with that card. Last Christmas, I got some ridiculous savings on top of other savings with this card. The best example I can think of was an ADDITIONAL 15% off at Kohl's, which was on top of their 20% off sale AND some other stacked savings at the same time.

AMEX EDP for most purchases, which is complemented by my Chase Sapphire when eating out.

Freedom and Discover for the 5% categories.

I do use the J. Crew and Gap cards in their stores for the rewards, which are pretty good (especially Gap).

The Amazon and Best Buy store cards can be good for the financing offers if I need them.
