Outside of bonus categories I've been strictly using the Amex BCE. It's my first amex so I like pulling it out. I also want to establish a good rapport with them in these first 6 months to get those 3x CLI's!

If Amex is not accepted I use the Freedom.
Discover IT $5k | Target RED $1.5k | Capital One QuicksilverOne $1k | EXPRESS Next A-List $990 | Barclay Rewards $850 | Capital One Platinum $500

I did the same thing when I got my first AmEx. It felt really good to be at the point where I was an AmEx cardmember, so I definitely used it everywhere I could! Smiley Tongue

No, went dead on the web around May 2013 and dead in the branches in June or July  (a few lucky people were able to use old forms in the branches and got them honoured, but no recent successes at this).

 

Citi won't repeat this unchanged, a lot of people were able to make a lot of money from this card, because Citi failed to include any caps and failed to include the needed language in their Terms and Conditions..   Wells Fargo is also making the same mistake, but seem to be cleverer at slowing people down

 

Citi closed a lot of people down but then had to pay anyway in Small Claims court actions.
