So do you guys put most of your spendings in one rewards program?
Or do you guys like to scatter the spending among different rewards programs?
I put almost all of my spendings in the Chase UR programs.
Chase UR is by far my favortie. Actually Capital One on my Spark Miles card is really good as well.
I mainly use both BoA and SDFCU, mainly because they are easy cards to use in England (where I currently live). I have yet to pay interest on either of them, but if something came up and I was planning on making a large purchase that I didn't want to PIF, SDFCU would be my go to card due to its extremely low interest rate. This month, I use SDFCU for gas, since it's 3x points. I also use SDFCU for 6x points on my iTunes purchases. BoA is 1.5 points on everything, and is very easy to get statement credits for my myriad travel-related purchases, so that card gets nearly everything else. Occasionally, I use my military STAR card for gas when they are doing a 10 or 15 cents discount per gallon promotion (this happens around the end of the year).
The vast majority of my spend is within the UR program; it's just cleaner that way since everything can be pooled together and UR happens to be the best credit card program out there IMO. I'll only use non-UR cards if they're offering >5% cash back equivalent.
94% of the time whichever one gives me the most for what I'm buying

UR's my default but I tend to use whatever has maximum rewards for the category I'm spending in.
