Best Credit Card
Posted on 5/24/17 at 3:36 pm
Posted on 5/24/17 at 3:36 pm
Have to make a big purchase and I don't have the cash to do it. Obviously, I'm going to get a card with a 0% intro period, and I will have it paid off before the intro period is up. My question is, what cards give the best perks? While I'm using the card, I may as well be getting points or miles or whatever the particular card uses. Or am I not eligible for those perks while enjoying 0% financing anyway?

There is no single best card. I have found that cash is king with regards to credit card rewards. It is more powerful than point reward systems. I personally do the following:
6% cash back on groceries (amex blue)
5% cash back on gas (penfed visa)
3% cash back on restaurants (citi costco)
2% cash back on everything (citi double cash)

These things are constantly changing. Try nerdwallet.com.
The best rewards cards with the huge bonuses are not generally 0% interest.

You generally can get a card with 0% interest or you can get a card with miles/points but not both. There may be a couple of exceptions but that is the general rule.

Citi has a couple of cards right now that offer 21 months at 0%. The citi simplicity is one for sure but drawing a blank on the other. That's the longest intro period I've seen but very little benefits other than that.

See if the Chase Freedom Unlimited still has 0% intro.

How do u like the penfed? It's not str8 cash right? You have to use points to buy gift cards?

Amex Blue preferred for me right now. Just the 6% back in groceries and 3% back on gas adds up really fast.
