Re: Pick 5, only 5!!

OK...I'll play

1) Vital FCU Visa...4.99% interest...my sister uses it and pays it.

2) Chase Amazon Prime Visa....5% cash back at amazon

3) American Express Blue Cash Preferred....6% cash back on groceries

4) State Farm Visa Signature.....3% on insurance, my highest limit card

5) Discover It....mainly for the fact that I get TU credit score and Discover provides everyone free EX score.

Fortunately I don't have to only have 5, because I would like to keep my Citi double cash and Capital One QS cards also.

 

The rest, I could easily see chucking...especially TD bank and Barclaycard...Wells Fargo could go also

CITI COSTCO VISA=6.5K EXECUTIVE MEMBERSHIP= 6% cash back on gas at Costco. 5% cash back on travel booked through Costco. 4% cash back on anything else bought through Costco but mostly groceries. 3% cash back on restaurants. All the deals with the cash back on practically anything. I think it's the most well rounded card on the planet. 


Are you adding 2% to your gas purchases because of your executive membership? Since you don't get the 2% from the executive membership at the gas pump, it's only 4%. At least in the U.S.

 

Unless you have found a work-around, which I would be interested to hear.

Re: Pick 5, only 5!!

I was adding that 2%. I thought it would equal 6% at Costco pumps. If not, I have the Penfed platinum rewards for 5%.

You don't get the 2% CB executive on:

gasoline

cigarettes

cash cards

stamps

foodcourt (since they don't scan your membership card)

alcohol in certain states.

 

So if you normally carry your Penfed card, I would use that instead if the additional 1% matters to you.
