Re: What do you ACTUALLY carry in your wallet?PC

Amex BCP - Grocery, Gas

US BANK cash+ - restaurant/bill pay/drug store

Walmart - Walmart/cash advance

BoA Travel Rewards - Back up/ travel purchases/5% back on toys, books, department, electronic and sporting good stores(targeted E-mail).

 

 

No Freedom or Discover for me this quarter.  Actually I already maxed out the discover 5% catagory plus an extra 2% so I can SD that one till the new year.

Re: What do you ACTUALLY carry in your wallet?

Why do you keep the BOA cash rewards around? =O seems like BCP destroys that card by far , looks like sock drawer material to me

If one also has BoA checking account, then the BoA Cash Rewards actually destroys BCP in the gas category. 3.3% return on the regular Cash Rewards, and 4.5% return on the Privileges Cash Rewards. Also, the "all other spending" category returns 1.1%/1.5% versus the 1% on BCP.

 

My wallet's in my sig, but here it is with more detail on how I use it:

Wal-Mart - Gas card. At $0.15 off per gallon I'm saving 4.2% on their already best-in-the-area premium gas prices. They may go back to $.05 at the end of the year, in which case I'll push gas over to the BoA Cash Rewards.

BoA Cash Rewards - 2.2% Groceries, 3.3% Gas when there's no WalMart around, everyday spending when my low limit allows it.

AmEx Zync - Paying cable and phone bills (2x points Connect Pack). Shopping at REI, Patagonia, local green businesses (2x points Eco pack), Travel purchases for work and pleasure (2x points Go Pack - not bad until I can get a higher tier travel card), department store shopping (2x points Style pack), everyday spending overflow from BoA since AmEx has me on a much higher hidden limit than the piddly $500 I get from BoA.  Basically this is my most-used card right now - practically everything but Gas, Groceries, and Dining goes here.

BestBuy RewardZone - Shopping at Best Buy, and dining, since it is my only dining rewards card right now. 

Barclaycard Apple Financing - Right now, just small purchases each month to keep it active. Once the new iPads are announced, I'll be using it to finance my upgrade at 0%.

 

In addition, I typically carry my HSA (Health Savings Account) debit card, my checking debit card, my health plan cards, and a few bills.
