Best mastercard to apply for?

It looks like chase is going to be converting my freedom mastercard to a visa pretty soon here if the rumors on the forum are true.  I do a large amount of my grocery shopping at Sam's Club, and they only take mastercard and discover. I refuse to use my Discover card after a list of bad experiences with them, so I was wondering what good mastercard you would recommend to someone that doesnt travel? Thanks!

I'm looking at Bank of America's Better Balance Rewards for a balance transfer. Looks like a pretty decent card.

I Have Way Too Many of These.

American Express - No CLI or Appreciation Gift in 7 Years

Citibank - Handing Out Credit Limits Like Candy

Chase - Surprisingly, Still Tolerating My Credit-Chasing Ways

Bank of America - My Newest Bae.

Everyone Else.

Barclays Sallie Mae is quite nice with 5% categories if you are not a heavy spender Smiley Happy

I don't have a balance to transfer or that one would probably be good. It just seems like all the good rewards cards are either Visa or Amex. Which Sam's doesn't accept for who knows what reason.

Re: Best mastercard to apply for?

Is there any way to convert my NFL card to a Sallie Mae card does anyone know? Try and save myself a hard pull. I'm not going to apple either way until I have no other choice with my freedom card. But if I can just convert instead it would be awesome.

Re: Best mastercard to apply for?

To add to Aaron's last question is the Arrival wmc able to be PC'd to the Sallie Mae after sufficient time has passed? Just curious.
