I have all three, and just got credit increases. therefore i think that they will not approve my application as i dont have that much credit history. Is there another good card, like a discover or some other us bank that has decent mileage rewards?
Thanks

check http://www.dansdeals.com/forums/index.php?topic=1348.0

What comes to mind from there:

Schwabb from FIA (2% cash back)
Fidelity from FIA, AMEX branded (2%)
Sams Club Discover from GEMB (2% between $10,000 and $1,000,000)
Capitol one... (2%)

If your looking to get a sign up bonus theres cards from barclays like us airways and i think virgin.
Or you could get a store card and do all your shopping at once and while its already on sale to take advantage of the first day discount. check the issuer though - some are chase and citi.

Hope this was of help!

The 5% categories for 2010 are:
Q1: Airlines, hotels, car rentals, cruises
Q2: Home, fashion
Q3: Gas, hotels, movies
Q4: Restaurants, fashion.

The Discover More card also has the 5% categories.
