Re: Lesser Known Cards That You Keep

@TheDude 

 

Vantage West Credit Union Connect Visa

and Connect Rewards Visa. 

the Regular Connect is just a low APR card with a 0% introductory period,

the Connect Rewards gets you 5% cash back on the categories you choose each quarter.

Restaurants, Utilities, Wholesale Warehouses, Department stores, Hardware stores, Travel, Drug stores and pharmacy, Amazon. 3% cash back on gasoline, 2% cash back on groceries and 1% Cash back Everything.

I really like that you can set them and forget them if you choose and you will continue to receive the rewards. I find this very helpful.

Re: Lesser Known Cards That You Keep

I don't have it but did anyone mention the Signature FCU Visa Sig with 6% streaming?

 

https://www.signaturefcu.org/Products/Credit-Cards/Visa-Signature.aspx

 

 

 

[Until I can make a pretty signature, here’s an updated draft]

Everyday 5% CB:
Chase prime Visa // citi CUSTOM CASH “A” // citi CUSTOM CASH “B” // citi SHOP YOUR WAY (5% gas (in points), lucrative spending offers) // mylowe’s Rewards // Target circle card

5% CB rotating:
Chase “OG” freedom Visa // DISCOVER it Cash Back // nusenda CU Platinum Cash Rewards

Everyday 4% CB:
US Bank Smartly (v1.0)

Everyday 3% / 2.2% CB:
AOD FCU Visa Signature (3%, sockdrawered) // upgrade Cash Rewards Elite (2.2%, sockdrawered)

Welcome Offer / credits only:
Chase SAPPHIRE PREFFERED (grabbed my $1,000, sockdrawered, will cancel) // NFCU FLAGSHIP REWARDS (elevated Welcome Offer, annual prime credit, sockdrawered)

Hotel card:

Great thread! I'm in the rebuild phase but taking note of some of these for the future. I was already interested in Redstone FCU Signature Visa, so nice to see it mentioned here.

You may want to double check on the Redstone card. There was a thread started today stating that Redstone signature Visa is only available to AL and TN residents now.

Not a small institution, but I still have one of the original Optima cards which were AMEX's first credit card. It has a huge unused credit limit. No annual fee and earns MR points.

FNBO BPme Visa.  I've had a Gulf/BP card since my first month in college and is one of my oldest cards.  BP got out of the credit game and elligible cardholders were PC'ed to the FNBP BPme Visa. 

 

Synchrony/Citgo - 2nd oldest card.

 

Both of these are almost 40 years old so they are keepers.

Re: Lesser Known Cards That You Keep

Vantage West Connect Rewards sounds like a great card. Do you have it? Is someone able to apply to this card outside of Arizona? What do they consider as travel?
