As a grad student and pet owner, I buy most of my normal goods on amazon. I also get Amazon prime which is amazing. Tonight after only 3 beers I applied for amazon.com chase card through the amazon site and was instantly approved for 5K limit.
Within 5 minutes the account showed up on my chase.com account. I received only a $30 amazon credit for this, but hey - that pays for my puppy food for next month!
As a result - I am closing my BoA Travel Rewards. It has moved into last place. It's actually not a bad card at all, I just will never use it again and my philosphy is to close what I dont use.
I tried to close it online through chat - and after 15 minutes of talking to a CSR they told me that the only way to close a card via chat is if you have multiple accounts with BoA. Thanks for wasting my time and confirming my decision.
I'm now left with:
Penfed Plat: 4.5K; 5% Gas, 3% Groceries, 1% other
Penfed Defender: 5K; 1.5% everything automatically (I only have my reoccuring bills set to this card, it doesnt leave my house because if I lost it I would have to update ALL of my utilities!)
Chase Freedom: 11.5K, 5% rotating
Chase Amazon: 5K, 3% Amazon.com, 2% restaurant and drug stores
And then my two old babies...
USAA WMC: 12k: only use for my $8/renters insurance policy and my oldest card of 5 years
Navy Fed Cash Rewards: 10K; only used for $4/month Pandora One subsription.
All in all - Gained Amazon.com card, cancelled BoA Travel Rewards 1.5% point card.
I would close the USAA and Navy cards but they are my oldest
Congrats!!!! You must of gotten the VISA SIGNATURE! Thats awesome!!
so on the website I see 3 different color cards shown. Which one do you get? can you pick?
Thanks!
Unfortunetly, this is going to be my 5th Chase card over 5K, and only my CSP was a siggy. I think they are going to give me the reg version, but honestly, it really doesnt make much of a difference to me!
You can pick. I got the black, but I feel like calling up tomorrow and asking for the green one expedited!
