Citi TYP

 

It's the only card with a 0% interest rate so I use it exclusively while I paying down my other two cards. I also get cashback to use on Amazon. Win-win.


You get Amazon cash back at a really bad rate, making this less than a 1% card except on bonus categories.   So not win-win from that view point!


While that is true if your informed about other choices it is better then 0% 


Yes, it's also  better than using the card to get a cash advance and paying Amazon using that.  Or getting a payday loan.

 


I been trying to no avail to get my Mother to sign up for the BCP since she spend so much in grocery shopping lol. she tends to use her TYP or Discover it card the most. SM is decent but she spends probably way more then $250 a month for groceries. She has no grasp on maximizing rewards through her Credit cards and fine using what she has which is perfectly fine for some people

Re: What is your go to card?? (List order)

As far as which cards I use it depends on categories I suppose. 

 

1. Groceries-BCP

2. Dining/travel-CSP

3. Everyday spend- either QS or CSP.
