Sam's Club MC

$5k sl. Instant approval in the club with $45 off first purchase. 5% back on gas (where we buy all our gas) and 3% back on dining and entertainment. 1% on everything else. Might be a good card that have.

Thanks and I should have added the 5% back on gas is at any gas station, not just Sam's!

Congrats!

I absolutely love my Sam's Club MasterCard! I get around $30 back each month for just hotels and fast food... which more than justifies my membership even if I never step foot in a club!

As a side-note, the disclosure says that "other" warehouse clubs and "certain" grocery stores (specifically Kroger) aren't included in the 5% for gas, but I've found that when I buy gas at Kroger I do get 5% back, so if you have a Kroger nearby you have that option as well.

Congrats! Is the Sam's Club MC generally a bit stingy in credit limits?

Initially they can be.

Other people will say that Sync either loves you or hates you...I dont really have any data on that one.

But if you treat them good and play their "4 statement" game, the limit can grow.

Mine sits at $25k right now.

I'm hoping this is the case with me... I have a Lowe's at $7450, Care Credit at $8k, and Belk at $3400.

But they started me at $1500 on my Sam's MasterCard.

I've not yet tried calling Credit Solutions (the limit is workable at the moment) but I was hoping for a bit more.

On a positive note - of all my cards, this is by far the most profitable at the moment... I'm earning $30+ each month in rewards!

Just applied and approved for SL $3600, I'm really glad I read this thread, ours SAMs gas is $0.55 cheaper than the regular gas stations, plus 5% with this card. That is awesome. Not going for CLI (don't want to get over exposed on my limits)
