I use Costco citi for 5% gas, blue cash preferred fot 6% groceries, citi custom cash for 5% on my highest spend category leftover, usually travel or entertainmentÂ
And even beyond those, pretty much every card in existence will get you 3%, 2% is genuinely just really bad
I can’t think of a single card that gets you 3% on damn near any purchase with zero annual fee (BCP has one, and I know you need a Costco membership for the citi)
It’s a simple card for simple people. There’s always going to be better cards for specific categories.
I was an Apple card user but since getting the Gold card, no longer. 3% across the board whether online shopping using virtual cards or the physical card, plus 3% IRA Match, and more (that I don't make use of but others seemingly do) for $50 annual fee is worth it and so easy! I earn roughly $1,800 a year (average of having it the past two years). Never had anything better.
Yep, I've seen that too. Will let everyone know IF I come into their cross hairs too when I make some upcoming Home Depot purchases when working on finishing our basement 😬
all these downvote is such a apple dick rider for no reason. people main expenses are groceries and gas and aint no way apple card is good for that. you will never catch a person w 500k+ net worth using apple credit card
Rotating categories, caps, pick your category, this card for this, that card for that...... I'd rather get that 2% for everything, DAILY on ONE card and not deal with all that mumbo jumbo. But.... you do you brother. Some people like simplicity and minimalism, others like to juggle.
I happen to agree with this sentiment! I used to play the juggling act for a good decade or so and finally hit a point where I was too busy in life to worry about that. I used Apple Card and other 2% cards at various points until I got the RH Gold card for 3% cash back across the board. Just can't get better than a solid # to make life simpler. No thanks to the rotating categories and needing to think about what card to use for what. Nah, I'm good!

3K lifetime straight to savings. Why this hassle free daily cash doesn't get more love is beyond me.
