Re: Card lust list!

I just got the PRG, and it makes me feel cool. I doubt I'll spend enough to offset the annual fee, so my plan is basically to use this for the free year, then transfer my points to the ED card. Maybe pick up a BCE along the way as well.

BCE for backdating purposes ? I am curious why you would want BCE since there are better cards out there to cover gas and groceries?

Edit: Took out the Arrival WMC and replaced with JetBlue. Its the only airline I fly! Smiley Very Happy Didnt know there was a card.

 

American Express JetBue, Discover It Chrome, American Express Blue Cash Everyday, Capital One BuyPower WEMC, Citibank ThankYou Preferred Visa, Chase Sapphire Visa

 

I love JetBlue so I can tolerate the AF for one card out of the bunch Smiley Happy

I've vowed to be app-free until 2015, BUT when I'm in a place to app again I might like to have a BCP.  If I keep traveling as much as I do for work I'll probably try to upgrade my Delta card to Platinum for the MQM bonuses.

 

It's probably not worth the AF, but I'd say my "lust" card is an AMEX Platinum.

I have my eyes on the AMEX Everyday, PenFed (Chip and Pin) and maybe the Barclays Arrival Plus.  Other than that I have (or had) every card I wanted. Smiley Happy

Yeah but those cards have Caps for Gas while the BCE isn't... Amex CS is one of the best and the perks alone might be a better deal then getting 2% CB with the SM ...

I get 3% cash back on exxonmobil stations with my upromise card, which is most of the stuff here anyways.

Total Rewards Visa and maybe a good travel rewards card, haven't decided which one yet.

Once again Amex > Visa or MC whatever it is depending on perks.  Amex perks I view as a lot better then Visa or MC and losing 1% on CB is no big deal
