This makes good sense. At the risk of asking too broad a question, how do I know the best rewards card for me?


Might want to offer some of the things you would want from rewards so other posters could give you more focused answers?

Still need more details. What do you spend on the most? Dining? Travel? Groceries?

 

Are you looking at no AF or are you open to paying an AF?

Applied and was accepted for an Amex Plat this morning. It should solve my needs quite nicely. Thanks to the group for discouraging me from putting everything on the PLOC

^nice

 

ploc's are good for short term, cash use only in my opinion

 

i have never left a balance on there for more than 3 months.  And usually it is a 2 week to 1 month float for various reasons

 

but I have never used one as a payment option for sure.

Legitimate uses for a PLOC.

 

-Reducing high interest credit card balances more quickly with lump sum payments.

-Having the downpayment right at your finger tips to flip a property.

-Skip ahead mortgage payments to reduce interest paid on your mortage and/or get it refinanced.

-Quick access home improvement funds.

-Can't make it easier to route your debt over to at BT card.

 

Definitely nice to have one in the arsenal, IMO.
