Time/Money List of Best CC's

Over 2000 cards were reviewed. Here is the main list. You can narrow it down by category. It's a good read.

Thanks for sharing. I am surprised byt he best Travel card as the BankAmericard Travel Rewards card is not very popular here.

I like the videos they have in the articles. Is it me or does anybody elses mouth water a little bit when they show the cards being swiped? Its so satisfying seeing cards swiped and dipped. I would only ever admit that here.

That tells me all I need to know about their assessment of credit cards. It is as much a travel card as the Capital One Venture and Barclays Arrival+. They're not. It will save me the effort of reading the article.

I'm sure you're not the only one on here that feels that way. But rest assured what goes on in the forums, stays in the forums

BTW that just made my night lol

I saw right through the article. The forum is rubbing off on me. I mean swiping off on me.😂 I am guessing BOA and Citi sent in better care packages or advertised more. Sssssshhhh! Here some goodies.

No problem in posting it, that was fine. Doesn't mean people have to agree with their assessment of the cards.

Interesting, b/c there are cards out there that have a better borrowing APR than the one listed in the article as the winner (i.e., LMCU at 6.5% V). Two that come to mind for me atm are the BEFCU VISA as low as 4.99% F and the Unify Variable-Rate VISA as low as 5.24% V.

If they could even find them, not sure on full eligibility on any of the three either even if I'm a member of Unify haha. Mind just no longer tracking CU eligibility like I used to.

Anyway I may try to pick up a CU low rate card if I don't wind up moving in a year, or maybe even if I do after the close heh.

Though based on their reader demographics (likely dr's offices being the primary subscriber pool) it's not like the BOFA travel card is suck, for limited travel it's probably one of the better cards... it's just not very good if you travel more than incredibly infrequently.

Edit to add: oh, it's six months out of date or more already. Sept. 19, 2016 was the publication date, that's not relevant with how things changed in the travel rewards market during that time.
