I use the COSTCO CITI bank card for gas (4% cash back), restaraunts (3% cash back) and COSTCO TRAVEL for rental cars and some hotel rooms (2% + 2%.)

I've been using the FIDELITY CASH BACK (2% cash depositited into my brokerage account) card for everything else.

In order of usage;

Green Fidelity card $0: 2% on everything

Costco Visa $120/yr: OAL airline travel, 3/4% on gas, 3% dining, 2% Costco

Citi Custom Cash $0: 5% up to $500/month on primary spend category (Groceries)

Bonvoy Boundless $90/yr: one free room per year plus decent rewards on room charges at Delta layovers. Crazy good rewards on Marriott stays

AMEX Delta Gold $0: good rewards on DAL tix

I gave up on the lounge stuff after I moved to base.

That's very sad news. If you just buy pp without a credit card you should still be able to dine at restaurants right?

Anyone still use the chase Ritz Carlton card? I saw it also lost its priority pass restaurant credit but the free night a year and decent travel perks sound alright.

Necro post here. Flew with an FO several years ago that was a points junky. If I remember correctly, he would buy several thousands of prepaid cards on whatever points card he wanted to add to. He'd then deposit the prepaid cards back into his checking account to pay bills. Anyone else do this?

I think the CC card companies closed this loophole

US Bank has a 4% cash back card with $0 annual fee if you meet the $100k deposit requirement. IIRC it could be something as simple as a rollover IRA or self managed investment account. 3% cash back is available with a lower deposit requirement.

Had a feeling it was too good to be true

I’ve been using my Apple Card for about 6 months. I really like the easy use and payment. Also all the cashback goes into the High Yield savings.
