    N00b when it comes to Credit Cards

    The Citi mtvU card is a fantastic student rewards card that I wish I could get. It is the *only* card available (student or other) that pays 5% rewards at restaurants, movie theaters, book stores, and video rental stores. That's my personal favorite, but there are other good ones. You can...

    Recommend me a credit card

    AmEx has some nice rewards cards like the Blue Cash Card (up to 5% cash back at grocery stores, gas stations, and drug stores; up to 1.5% on everything else -- but tiered rewards structure) and the TrueEarnings card (3% cash back at restaurants, 2% on travel, 3% on gas, 1% on everything else)...

    Best credit card for Grocery stores?

    The Citi Diamond Preferred Rewards card offers 5% reward at grocery stores for the first year. AmEx Blue Cash hits 5% rewards at grocery stores after you get to $6500 in year-to-date spending. You might also want to check the rewards calculator mentioned in my signature to see if there are...

    does anyone else rarely use cash anymore?

    Yeah, I pretty much funnel all of my expenses through my credit cards to maximize my credit card rewards (cash back, etc.) in various categories (restaurants, gas stations, groceries, movie theaters, home improvement, etc.). Heck, if they had a card swiper on a bubble gum machine, I'd probably...

    No credit history. Getting first CC?

    If you're still a college student, then you should go for a student rewards card like the Citi mtvU card (5% rewards at restaurants, book stores, and entertainment venues). If you're not a college student, then you should probably try for a Capital One card for people with limited credit...

    Earning miles on a credit card?

    I use a few different credit cards to maximize my cash back and other rewards. If I sign up for a "points" or "miles" card, I usually get one where I can easily redeem my points for gift cards that are nearly as good as cash (e.g. gas gift cards). For example, I've got one card for 5% cash...

    Have you asked for a raise?

    It's not uncommon for an employer to not give a substantial raise until you've proven with another offer that another employer is willing to pay you more. That being said, what you're doing is what you should do. Make a good case. If that doesn't work, get another offer that you'd actually...

    Best place (online or wherever) to get flowers?

    I've had the best luck with a local flower shop with a good reputation. Ask around with the locals, I'm sure you can get a good recommendation. That way you can see the quality you're buying. This is not to say that an online place couldn't work out for you, that just hasn't been my experience.

    I think I've got the flu

    Yeah, I had the flu too. I started popping zinc as soon as I started to feel even a little bit off (because people around me had been sick). Granted, this is only a single anecdote, but I seemed to get over it faster than others (and zinc has been shown to help in studies). I'd recommend...

    The new Capital One® No Hassle Miles(SM) Rewards For Electronic Stores Visa earns 5 miles per $1 spent at consumer electronics stores *and* department stores and 1 mile per $1 spent elsewhere. I'm pretty sure that this is the best rewards rate available through any credit card at electronics and...

    Is Discover the best card now for rewards (gas in particular)?

    The PenFed card is certainly a good card. However, depending on the categories in which you spend money, you could do better with others. For example, the Citi Driver's Edge card pays 6% rewards at gas, grocery, and drug stores for the first year and 1% everywhere else. Plus, if you drive...

    Best 1st Credit Card?

    As WiredSpider mentioned, the Citi mtvU card is a great college student card as it pays 5% rewards at various entertainment-related venues; I wish I could get that one. The Citi Driver's Edge for Students is also good; it pays 3% rewards at gas, grocery, and drug stores. There's a Capital One...

    Get $100 after First Purchase with Chase Freedom Card

    The normal offer for this card is a $50 bonus after the first purchase, so this is a pretty good deal. Note that if you redeem your cash back rewards from this card in $200 increments, you get a 25% bonus ($250 instead of $200). So your initial $100 bonus effectively becomes $125. Here's a...

    Any credit cards 0% interest longer than 12 months?

    Each point is worth 1 cent. (This is based on the value of gift certificates you can get with your points.) So AmEx Blue is your basic, run-of-the-mill 1% rewards card. If you only need the 0% intro APR on purchases for 6 months, then you should definitely consider the AmEx Blue *Cash*...

    Which credit card to go with?

    If you're going to be paying your balance in full every month (which is the best way to use credit cards) and you're a college student, then you should consider the Citi mtvU and Citi Driver's Edge for Students cards. (I wish I could get the Citi mtvU card.) You can use the rewards...

    MasterCard vs. Visa

    All other things being equal, Visa slightly edges out MasterCard because it's accepted a bit more widely than MasterCard. If you're not going to be carrying a balance, then the APR doesn't really matter, but the rewards do. Unless the credit limit is preventing you from funneling most of your...

    do you guys like the series battlestar galactica?

    Battlestar Galactica is one of the best drama's on TV -- sci-fi or not. It's already my favorite sci-fi series of all time. It's practically the only reason I still have DirecTV and a DirecTivo and haven't switched to over-the-air High-Def and a Myth box. (I may still do that and just watch...

    So, what's the best "fuel reward" credit card out there now?

    The Citi Driver's Edge card pays 6% back on gas and other categories for the first year. AmEx Blue cash is up to 5% (tiered) on gas and other categories. The BP Rewards Visa pays 5% at BP stations. The Discover Open Road card pays 5% on gas, *but* only up to $100 per month spent on gas. Chase...

    Credit Cards: Which to get? Whats the best?

    The Discover Gas card is not anywhere near the best gas card, especially after the $100 per month restriction. Consider AmEx Blue Cash (up to 5%, tiered), Citi Driver's Edge (6% for first year), BP Rewards Visa (5% at BP), and Chase Freedom (3.75%). Like others, I would suggest not...

    Pentagon Federal Credit Union

    Yeah the PenFed credit card is great. I've contemplated trying to join the PenFed credit union just for that reason. However, so far, I've stuck with cards that are just slightly better for me. E.G.- Citi Driver's Edge pays 6% back at gas/grocery/drug stores for the first year (and can up to...

    Should I start charging daily things to my CC?

    Note that with AmEx Blue Cash all of the spending you do while your year-to-date total is under $6500 earns at the 1% EDP/0.5% non-EDP rate. Only the spending after $6500 YTD earns at the higher rate. So the AmEx Blue Cash tends to be better for fairly big spenders. Other cards like the...

    Discover Card 5% Cashback Bonus 7/1 - 9/30

    Yeah, the Discover More card is pretty weak as far as rewards cards go. AmEx Blue Cash is much better for a lot of peoples' spending. My personal favorite du jour is the Citi Driver's Edge -- 6% back on gas/grocery/drug store spending for the first year, no tiers. Referral links removed.
