Re: The useless card thread

I'll do that. Well my QS1 will probably be the useless one then although im not sure. Either way I'm demanding a PC to QS, CLI, and a siggy in the fall.

Re: The useless card thread

Mine would be the chase amazon card. I used to use it quite often but I transferred most of the CL to my other chase cards so now it's just sitting unused at $500cl. It's one of my oldest cards and I haven't decided whether it's really worth it anymore since I can just as easily get 5x for purchasing amazon gift cards for smaller purchases. I'd also add Citi AAdvantage cards to the currently useless cards. I may use them for a BT soon but other than that, I don't have any plans to earn AA miles through the cards. I'm going to hold off on pruning any of my cards until I pay down my cc's though so technically, I guess they aren't useless cards since they're helping tremendously with my utilization at the moment.

Out of the cards I own, Macy's store card and Barclay App...

Out of the cards I own, Macy's store card and Barclay Apple are the most useless. I don't shop at Macy's much at all (plus they stopped reporting) and don't receive any benefits from my Apple Financing card. After those two, I would have to deem my Discover IT useless. They refuse to give me a CLI without a HP and feel as if Discover is limited compared to Chase Freedom (Visa).
