Not so well-known Credit Cards?

[HappySoda]

I know that everybody goes for the Chase Freedoms, Sapphire, USAA Rewards, DiscoverIT, Amex BCE, BOFA Rewards, US Bank Cash Plus. These are popular cards that everyone has in their wallet.

I was thinking, what are some of the not-so-well-known cards that people have? Maybe we can compile some kind of list? As an example, I don't know a whole lot of people with the Fidelity Investment Rewards Amex. Yes it has been talked about on here from time to time but not as often as say a Chase Sapphire. What are some other cards that don't fit the popular criteria?

I'll start a list of lesser known cards.

1. Fidelity Amex Rewards

2. Cabela's Visa

3. Banana Republic Visa

[flowfaster]

Fidelity Amex

Priceline Visa

JCB Marukai 3%

US BANK Flexperks

 BoA Travel Reawards

That JCB Marukai card is pretty.

I'll add Elvis Presley Platinum Rewards by UMB Financial

The Starbucks Gold card!!! 

With no annual fee you get:

- A free drink on your birthday

- A free drink/baked good after collecting 12 stars

- Unlimifed free refills with brewed coffee/tea/iced coffee/iced tea

- A personalized gold card with your name on it and the date since you've reached gold status.

- Occasional free drink/food item vouchers emailed directly to you

- 1 star per purchase (with bonus stars on targeted items emailed ONLY to gold card members).

^this is semi-joking/semi serious. I go to Starbucks A LOT and I've made it worth while

TD Bank Easy Rewards/Cash Rewards/Payment Plus CC. I have the Easy Rewards in my siggy!

People were talking about the

Merryl Lynch cards

A lot of the bigger regional banks offer CCs, but generally only to customers with deposit accounts. M&T, PNC and First Niagra come to mind in the Northeast.

Also, Wells Fargo CCs don't get as much coverage on here as those offered by the other "Big Four" national banks. I have a cash rewards Visa with them, and it's fine, but I'll admit, the lack of bonus categories makes it less appealing from a rewards standpoint than a lot of other cash back cards.

I would say First Premier Platinum unless you are desparate for credit. Here is why?

1. High Annual fee of over $170

2. Monthly service fee of $10

3. When you pay bill using their site, they charge $7.
