Picking a new credit card

What are you looking to get? Cashback or Travel Rewards?

Don't you have a card with a 20K limit on it?

Barclaycard Arrival + and Chase Hyatt both approved me for A LOT. Pretty good bonuses too.

Well go for a Discover or Amex. You should be able to get 15k. I did last week with your suggestion and only use it for groceries, gas, Macy's and Belk. Christmas is going to be good for the family because my wife has been going nuts at Bell lol

I'm on a quest to educate this board about this card. It's a 2% cash back card you pay $59 for. Either downgrade it or cancel after earning the bonus. There are 2% cards with no fee out there and no dumb travel limitation on redemptions.

Same with Barclay Arrival, that's an earn and burn and dump as well for the same reason.

I've held these cards and so has my wife for a total of $1,600 off travel, but don't pay the fee.

I'm seeing:

2x miles per dollar
50,000 bonus miles after $3000 in 3 months
$0 annual fee for the first year, $95 year 2-



Never used capital one before...what does 50,000 miles amount to? and you're saying use it for a year, grab the miles, then dumb it before the 2nd year rolls around?

Not bad. I might take advantage of that one.

Going to get my $300 for CSR then possibly downgrade after to avoid the 2nd $450 annual fee.

Then scoop up venture card and grab that $500 in travel and dump before the $95 fee.

Nice little $800...not bad

So you have the worse version that came with a smaller bonus? frick man dump that card.

There are some cards that waive annual fees if you're active duty military for those that may apply to.

I have a Citi double cash card. 2% cash reward when you use the card, then another 2% when you pay the balance.

You can get a credit increase by saying you want it increased so you can make a balance transfer. I told them that but never did make a transfer.
