  • Cash Back Credit Card II: rebate category madness

    Reading Time: < 1 minute

    (Update 07-28-2010) I found Citi® Platinum Select® AAdvantage® World MasterCard® to be interesting. AA actually offers 3 cards: Master Card, American Express or Visa. They has a 30,000 miles promotion as of now. Another card, which is more useful in our daily lives, is the Upromise® World MasterCard® credit card with Dining & Grocery Rewards, offered by BoA. But I think I will go for the Subaru card, for the 3% cash back (Subaru dollars, good at Subaru dealers for purchase or service).

    (Original)Costco American Express Card
    3% gasoline
    3% Restaurant
    2% Travel
    1% everything else (including Costco purchase)

    Discover card
    5% gasoline, hotels, movie and theme parks (July 1st to Sept 30). Discover rotates the 5% cash back category every quarter.
    1% for everything else (after meeting those $2,000, $3,000 spending requirements, as I said in earlier post)

    Citi Dividend Card
    Citi Dividend changed its policy from July 1. It no longer offers 2% (3%?) cash back on groceries etc. Instead it’s taking a page from Discover Cash Bonus Card, doing the rotating category thing. For instance, for this quarter (July 1 to Sept 30) it offers 5% for restaurant (needs enrollment).

    It offers 1% for everything else.

    Citi Professional
    3% cash back on gas station, restaurant, office supplies and car rental;
    1% on everything else
