So basically, if you see a new shiney that you WANT (need is far too high a threshold), go for it! So for 2022, I will be going for the Plainsville Country FCU Reward Visa, flat 3.5%, no AF.
If and when it exists.
I can't find any info about this card you're mentioning. Links?
New to MF and fairly new to credit in general so I think my strategy should be researching, learning and gardening.
Would like to try for Elan Max Cash Preferred at some point, now that I know it exists. 🙃 Thanks @Aim_High for all the extensive information.

Welcome to My Fico forums, @PoggersSlayer.
Forum tip: When posting to a specific message in thread, it's helpful to either "quote" or reference the specific user who posted the message. Otherwise, it's confusing who is talking to who. For the "quote", you'll see the "QUOTE" button after you hit reply below the message you are referencing. (Whichever message you use to to hit "reply" determines what shows up when you quote.) To reference a specific user (like I did above with your name) type the "@" sign and a dialogue box opens with recent users from the thread. You can also start typing any forum member's name (even if they aren't in the thread) and eventually see their name suggested.
That said, which card were you looking for links regarding?

Whoops, i thought i was quoting @longtimelurker and their post mentioning the 3.5% Plainsville FCU rewards card
@PoggersSlayer I read that Plainsville FCU 3.5% rewards card as a hypothetical unicorn card. Basically, "If something so spectacular exists in the future, I'll apply for it".

You'll learn that @longtimelurker is known on My Fico for his dry sense of sarcastic humor besides his knowledge of cards and finances, @PoggersSlayer. Yes, it was a hypothetical unicorn but a close one is the ACTUAL AOD FCU Visa Signature. If you can jump through the hoops in the tedious application process and pass their high hurdles, the card earns 3% uncapped and uncategorized on anything you buy. Plus it offers few fees (no annual fee, FTF fee, or BT Fee ... and otherwise very low fees) and an APR as low as 7.49% fixed. Great card! See links below.

Subsequent AOD Visa Discussion Thread
Clearly gardening is a good move for me. Tried the Apple SP shopping cart trick. Came back with a $250 SL / 21.99% APR offer. Didn't realize Apple limits could start so low. Off to soothe my feelings with Haagen-Dazs. 😩
@PullingMeSoftly Just really quick. Not a fan of the PenFed Platinum? Would you prefer the Pathfinder or the PCR? Just curious .

Actually, I was just trying to motivate some MyFico members. People here often really like credit unions, so why not start one, and then offer a great card that members here will love! Become the new FoTM and put AOD back in the history books!
The name "Plainsville Country FCU" is currently available (There was a plainsville credit union in Canada but that has been absorbed by Cornerstone) so act now!
