What’s your current daily driver?

I haven’t seen this question posted in a while so I thought I would get a current picture.

When not chasing a signup bonus what is your daily driver for non-category spend?

Its not optimum but Double Cash or sometimes Amex CM.. esp if i have concerns about purchase protection....

And CM (currently) has contactless... just ordered the DC variant.....

CFU but considering BofA Premium Rewards...a slight shift to cash back while I use up some miles and certificates.

 

Not very happy with BofA banking, though.

Personal spend: Amex Gold, Amex Schwab Plat., BofA PR+CCR(x2), Costco
Business use: Amex Bus. Plat., BBP, Lowes Amex AU, CFU AU
Perks: Delta Plat., United Explorer, IHG49, Hyatt, "Old SPG"
Mostly SD: Freedom Flex, Freedom, Arrival
Upgrade/Downgrade games: ED, BCE
SUB chasing: AA Platinum Select

Discover IT Miles. I just got it last month so I earn 1.5% back now and get another 1.5% when they give me my match in a year.

Until I fulfill my 3k spend for 50k MR it's my shiny new Amex Gold. 

Then it will be a combo of BCE for Gas, Gold for Groceries, and QS1/Cash Magnet for everything that doesn't fall into Discover's 5% category.

Sheesh, it's a full time job keeping up with which to use for what.

Off-category I use my PSECU which is 2%.

 

I'm thinking about eventually grabbing a DC whenever a SUB comes back around to add a MasterCard to my collection to replace the PSECU. I am gardening though so I hope they don't bring it back too soon.

 

And just because: gas, groceries and restaurants go to my Hilton, travel goes to my BoA PR and online purchases go to my BoA CR. I substitute my Discover in for whatever the 5% category is those months.

AMEX Gold to be honest. I spend so much on food (dining/groceries) that it just makes sense. Although CFU for outside food, my spend is able to support both rewards ecosystems thankfully.

I use DC. Most of these purchases lately aren't needing an extended warranty (bed, already has 10+ years on mattress, full year gym membership, car maintenance, golf, cable/internet, lawn service, auto insurance (6 mos), eyewear) so its perfect for that.

In my wallet:

AMEX Gold - all dining, groceries

Costco Visa - weekly Costco

Apple Card - anywhere Apple Pay is available (really no need to carry this)

Alaska Airlines Visa - when Apple Pay is NOT available
