No credit card required
Browse credit cards from a variety of issuers to see if there's a better card for you.
For me Slate, Blue and the BofA CR would be in the SD for sure but that is for my spending pattern and it might not apply to your purchase pattern. I think you should look at your spend categories and it should show you which cards make most sense to use. Also it depends if you are looking for cash back or rather points/miles that you can transfer. Someone that needs to carry a balance looks at the Slate completely different. As for Dividend I could not tell as I have no experience 😉

I pay off my and wifes balances each month. I am looking for more cash rewards rather then points. Slate is out of the picture. I shop at Amazon.com which I think Sallie Mae might be the best card for it. My normal patterns are buying gas, groceries, and paying utilities.
In this case I would say the winner is Sallie Mae if you can do it with the limits Discover for Shop Discover and Citi DC for non category spending.. you are pretty much set it looks

+1 ... and make sure you are always on top with the 5% categories on the rotating cards (groceries and Freedom for example JAN-MAR) and use these so you do not have to worry about Sallie Mae's limits.

It's been a little harder to hit the SM cap on the fuel at least since prices have come down.
Is your wife an AU on your DC? If not, she should PC her Citi Dividend to DC. She already has Freedom and Discover (I'm assuming It) for catagory spend, unless Dividend catagories work better for her. 2% for DC is better than 1.5% for Quicksilver non-catagory spend.
