For people working as a cashier/etc.

Hello, just out of curiousity, which of the cards below you see more often than the others?

 

1, Chase Freedom

2, Chase Sapphire Preferred

3, Barclay Arrival+

 

Is 2, and 3, commonly seen in a common restaurant?

I am the office manager at a higher end establishment.  I really am not allowed to say more than that.  We see quite a few Freedoms, some CSP, and a ton of Amex.  Never seen Barclays much in the wild, except I have seen a Barclays Rewards once and a Sallie Mae once (had a hard time saying, "I know, right" Smiley Very Happy)

I work in a grocery store, and out of the three cards listed, I see Chase Freedom the most frequently. Most of them tend to be MasterCard iterations, though. I'm always tempted to tell them that they could contact Chase and request a Visa. Smiley Tongue

I have a feeling that Freedoms would be infinitely more popular than CSP or Barclays. I, like others, rarely see a Barclays in the wild. Smiley Very Happy lol (Not a cashier though, but definitely watch people's payments because of nosiness/curiosity.)

Not a cashier, but the other day at the vet I saw a Cap1 Platinum. It had the cool sunset scene with the palm trees! I had that one before I pc'd to the QS Smiley Sad

Then when we were at the Apple store I saw a lady paying with a Chase Freedom. I didn't notice if it was a MC or visa cause I didn't want her to think I was weird...LOL Smiley Very Happy

Chase Freedom FOR SURE.

 

Over 40% of the time, i'd say. 

 

I rarely see Barclay Arrival+, in fact - I can't recall seeing one (I work at Target).

 

Chase Sapphire is probably 20-25% of the time (in terms of the cards we're talking about)

Re: For people working as a cashier/etc.

I like talking to people like "Hey does this card have good rewards?" and they're like "Oh yeah, the best ever..... It's the VentureOne card, I get 1% cash back or something like that, you should look into it." My response: "Ma'am if you get the Fidelity American Express you could get 2% back everytime." (After my Target REDCard 5% pitch of course Smiley Very Happy) Love to see the oblivious people in terms of rewards. Maybe we're just nerds....erm.
