What is the ultimate trophy card for the average every-day person?

I have been reading these forums a lot lately. I would like to know what is the card that the average person is trying to get these days? I don't mean the Palladium or JP Morgan cards. I am talking about cards that the average joe would strive to get? Is it the Amex Blue Cash Everday? Is it the Chase Sapphire? What are the cards that you fine folks are hoping to get one day or maybe you already have it and that card just makes you happy to have?

AMEX BCP for me

Before you app think...
Have you done your research of the CC?
Does it fit your spending?
Do you have a plan for the bonus w/o going into debt?
Can you afford the AF?
Do you know the cards benefits? Is it worth the HP?

Chase Sapphire or any AMEX Revolver is my opinion.

Mine originally was Discover and Freedom, but now that I've got them, I've got my sights set on Amex BCE Smiley Happy

Re: What is the ultimate trophy card for the average every-day person?

Mine was AMEX. After getting that, it was a CSP. Now it's an AMEX Revolver and I want a Discover It. Maybe a BofA Better Rewards and a Citi for diversification.
PenFed AMEX: $5500 | AMEX BCE: $8300 | AMEX E: $5000 | BofA BBR: $5000 | Discover It: $6500 | CSP: $11500 | CF: $5500 | Citi DIVIDEND: $5700 | CITI TYP: $4600 | BofA CR: $7500 | CAP ONE Q: $3000 |

Re: What is the ultimate trophy card for the average every-day person?

My guess would be CSP. I only say that because personally I don't feel AMEX fits the average everyday persons lifestyle, but what do I know.. Myself I want a Pen Fed card sooo bad!! lol
