A step out of the Garden

[MakingProgress]

I took a planned step out of the garden this morning.

Approved for:

Barclay's Uber Visa - SL 10K

US Bank Cash + - SL $20K  I was really suprised about this limit given that USB has been known to be stingy with limits.

FNBO Ducks Unlimited - SL $5.7K

So my new cash back strategy is:

Gas - 5% on Ducks Unlimited

Utilities and Cell Phone - 5% on Cash+

Amazon Purchases - 5% on Chase Amazon Prime Visa

Dining - 4% on Uber

Travel; -  3% on Uber

Grocery - 3% on BCE

Rotating Catagories - 5% on Discover

General Spend - 2% on Citi Dc

Kids are au on Cap One QS so I get 1.5% back on their usage otherwise QS is sock drawered.

I will not be under 5/24 until 2/20.

I always say if you're going to step out of the Garden, make it count... and you certainly did! 

Great job, my friend!

Congrats on the approvals! I've been looking into the Ducks Unlimited card myself but with the rotating categories between Discover and Chase, I havn't found it to be necessary yet.

With approvals like that, I might actually call USB

Oh yeah, I almost forgot, CONGRATULATIONS!!!

Congrats!!!  Gardening works or something.  Seriously impressed with the US Bank approval and glad you didn't need to call for a 30x or 40x CLI upon activation like some of us.

Congrats on your three new cards! That should optimize quite nicely with your rewards strategy.
