You forgot to say...... What's in your wallet?

By: Gisela Hambach Egner | Jun 30, 2018

yes, I agree. You can't beat it.. you can apply the points to hotels, flights, anything travel related at the full 2%, or to other things or statement balance at 1%.

Chase Sapphire Preferred or Capital One Venture? I'm down to deciding between these two and not sure which one is best. Can anyone help me? Thanks!

By: R Kenneth ONeal | Jul 24, 2018

I have both. My Venture started me out with a much high SL (20k) than my CSP did (8k) If you have the Freedom Unlimited and CSP, youll do better using the CSP/Freedom Unl combo. If you dont have both, the Venture, with its 2% on everything, wins that battle based on numbers alone. Wth the CSP/Freedom/CFU combo youll do better with that one.

By: Ophelia Diaz | Jul 25, 2018

I love Capita One. You get 40 000 just to sign in and 2 miles for each dollar everywhere you spend your money Not 1.25 miles or other cards give you points which never works like getting actual miles the annual fee you get it back in the double millage throughout the year.... that's my thinking and their customer service excellent!!

By: George Byrne | Apr 3, 2018

I know people that use all the cards listed here but for me I've been using the Chase Sapphire Preferred Card for a couple of years and I wouldn't leave home without!

By: Jeffrey J. Schaefer | Mar 23, 2018

Chase Sapphire Reserve should be a card your would consider if you travel. Much better than all the cards listed here if you plan to fly. I've traveled on business and personal vacations and if you compare the benefits for this card, you will see the value.

What is the best card for cash back? One that may not necessarily be used just for airlines, hotels or car rentals?

My most preferred card EVER is Chase Sapphire. It gives 50,000 point after spending $3000.00 in first 90 days. Those points can be used for 625.00 of flights or hotels or they can be used for $500.00 cash.

I want a card that I can use international for many things. Purchases, meals, etc. I don't care about the travel points. Any ideas with 0 interest for 18 to 21 months?
