re: Credit Card Rewards and Points Discussion

Any thoughts on hhonors? We have a southwest card with the companion status, so I don't need any additional airline miles. Also interested in hearing about Marriott cards

What are some good sites for tracking Credit Card promotions, outside of this forum?

The increase in fee from gold to platinum wasn't worth it to me. I can easily earn the 175.00 fee in reward points within 12 months. When I got the gold a few years ago it came with an introductory 50,000 pts as well. The 450.00 fee was a little steep and I would probably struggle to break even with reward points as I usually hover between 2500.00 to 3000.00 in expenses every month.

If you have already committed to the platinum I would see no reason to keep the gold. Closing out a card with no pre-set limit will not negatively affect your credit.

I currently do not have a credit card that I use for regular spending, but am looking to apply for one. I plan to spend roughly 300-600 dollars a month on this card(basic expenditures) and pay it off regularly. I don't care about APR/Balance Transfer benefits.

Which card would be the best for my situation from a cash back/rewards perspective? I should have a pretty good credit score due to making large purchases on my other card that's linked to Merrill.

I was thinking Citi Double Cash would be good, but wanted to see if anyone had any other suggestions.

My situation: I put 30,000 dollars a month combined on multiple United Business and personal credit cards and pay them out every month. I do this because I travel for family reasons to one very specific place often and get a lot of free tickets this way. United has stopped offering one leg of this journey making it hard to get to my destination with them. American Airlines has stepped in and made the trip easier than ever before. I would like to switch credit cards to take advantage of this.

My question: Should I just switch to American Airline credit cards or just go with American Express. 95% of my travel expenses are to this one place and I use every credit card point I earn to get to this place. The bills are paid out in full every month. I've read much of this thread over the years but never came across someone with this problem, but I know there are guys in here that know their shite when it comes to this, so I'm asking for help.

Probably covered at some point in the 200+ page topic, but is there a one stop shop and/or newsletter that one can rely on to be notified of top credit card reward offers as they become available?

What's the best credit card to get 2% (or greater) cash back rewards for fast food, dining, etc.

I looked at the TD Bank Cash card but Louisiana is not in their footprint.

Have had chase sapphire for about 2 years and i have been accumulating travel points. but this credit card charges 100$ annual fee which i think is a scam.
I'm looking to close this account and get a another card with similar perks in terms of travel points.
any recommendations?

I was told three trade lines were often standard for traditional mortgages. I've never had a car note or student debt and never had the need for multiple cards. Credit score is very good but was told I could still be denied due to too few trade lines.

I currently only have Chase Freedom. Which two cards would be recommended for someone who doesn't spend a ton of money but still seeks worthwhile rewards?
