I realized that I enjoy working on the formatting the most, so I just added the rest now. All the tables are set, I'm just a little unsure of what the last category should be. I want it to be for for links to ddf discussions and the main feature asides for signup bonuses.

Good idea?
I thought that would be a good idea too. Like the costco savings or prg 3x points

Did you delete the notes about clicking "offers matched for you" for the applicable cards?

See the asterisk and scroll to the bottom. Its a bit hard to keep the chart from getting too cluttered and too large.

Got it.  Here at work I have to shrink the zoom down a bit to see it all cleanly. On my 24" there's plenty of room to see it at 100%

Done. I made Charge cards green ($$$$ available since no spend limit, just have to pay off every month), regular cards are standard blue.

That's funny. I was thinking of changing the color. Thought it would be annoying to add the code though. I guess its not so bad. Thanks for the input, there's the SPG card remaining which I can't edit ATM. Also, put the key on the bottom with a note on top to scroll down for the key.

Awesome Wiki, really helpful. I have an excel spreadsheet with just my CC's, but this really helps to see what good CC's are. +1

Club Carlson are reported to be very hard to get approved if you are a churner.
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.
