Card to Use for Car Down Payment
« on: May 10, 2013, 07:12:24 AM »
Hiya folks,
Just wondering if anyone has advice on which card to use for a car down payment.
I have the SPG, Hyatt, SP as my main and Hopefully my New Freedom will be here today.
The dealer allows upto $2500 to be placed on the card.
Thanks
S

Do you have any spending limits you need to hit, or any plans for a vacation coming up?

If you have your Freedom, you can use that.

If you just need the points, i believe UR is the most valuable.

I had a friend who just got rid of some miles. Got the same for SPG and UR.
So either should work.

He priced out over 10 different "companies" and those two had the highest values. Maybe he only got the rate he did becasue he was not getting rid of a significant amount of SPG points.
