Starting out....Starwood vs Chase Sapphire?
« on: May 15, 2011, 04:21:05 PM »
I'm looking to start out soon to supplement the bochur income/remove travel expense......I'm down to 2 or 3 cards.  However, I'm not sure exactly where to start.  I've done some research but a lot of it is several months old and CC companies can change within a month(I mean, short-term offers ARE short-term....it would make sense).

The 3 contenders are Starwood Preferred(as recommended by Mshor, a friend), Chase Sapphire, and possibly the AMEX Platinum.

What I'd like to do is "invest" in coins ;) Now, I'm not sure on the details of which of those 3 is likely to be usable since I've noticed some level of panic around here with regard to AMEX wising up... What is the safest way to get started and what can I hope to realistically achieve at this point in time, based on the offers?

Currently have a pretty good(777) CR.....the income is...yeshiva bochur income of $0.  So I can't really throw much in.
