Using Freedom for restaurants.

BCE, I guess for grocery.

Same here,  my BOA Cash Rewards is my designated gas card (3%) and BCE for groceries (3%).  For restaurants I'm rotating CSP/Hyatt/Ritz/Arrival.

Quarters like this where the Freedom and IT cards are borderline the same thing tempt me to app for the Sallie Mae card.  I have no use for these home improvement categories at all.

Be tempted, good card.  For those without CSP/Ink etc, I would rank it above the Freedom as consistent useful categories wins!

I'm considering it!  I have no interest opening additional cards with Chase, and my Freedom card is both my second lowest limit ($5k) and highest APR (23.24!).  It spends more time in the sock drawer than anything else these days (since the Gas category ended yesterday).

 

Since I use my BCP for Groceries/Gas, I'm trying to figure out what card to switch to if I do open the SM card.  I rarely spend over $250/month for gas and groceries, so there would be no point in keeping the BCP (or even BCE, really).

800+ across all three (via FAKOs) has been achieved! Current goal - Get down to 6 cards in total - sitting with 8 currently.

Re: Card for Gas Q2

Eh... Damn. The only card I have with a gas bonus is my PRG. 2X is nice, but I kind of wish I had a better reward card for that category.

 

Especially since I just plunked down almost $100 in gas these past three weeks. Smiley Mad

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.

Re: Card for Gas Q2

I have 5 5% gas cards: 2 Sallie Mae, 2 Penfed Plat Rewards (which is more like 4.3%) and Amex Blue Cash.  Using Sallie Mae as it returns the rewards the quickest.
