credit card usages.. (help)
« on: October 25, 2012, 11:31:35 PM »
it has been posted numerous times about spending on different cards.
I was wondering if anyone can direct me for card usages
eg freedom for under 10$
gas on freedom for 5x otherwise on sapphire
office supplies on ink bold.

if you know what im talking about ( i think someone made a very clear list) i would appreciate if im directed accordingly.
thanks

Don't think SP gives 2X for gas and I don't think bank account makes any difference

your right its the ink bold card that gives 2x gas. In that case from all those cards i would say spg points are worth the most- so spend on spg card.

Dan already answered your question in his post.  Considering the cards you currently have, best would probably be United Club, as it earns 1.5 mpd spent, and (are u not living in E"Y?) has no foreign transaction fee.  SPG does have a foreign transaction fee.

+1

Shockingly enough, the SP does NOT consider gas to be a "travel" spend. I wonder why... ???
