Post subject: Optimal Reward card set?

Citi’s Drivers Edge 6% (only for one year) on Gas, Supermarket, and Drugstores + drive reward (1 cent per mile = $100 for 10K miles).
Citi’s Home Rebate 6% (only for one year) on Internet, Telcom, Cable/Sattelite TV and Radio, Utilties.
Citi’s MtvU (student card) 5% Restruants, Bookstores, Record stores, movie theater, movie rental
MBNA Fidelity 529 2% for anything not covered above

Plus a Chase 5% reward card for Super WalMart since Citi doesn’t count that as a Supermarket and Chase does.

Maybe an Advanta Business reward card in place of the Citi Home Rebate, its only 5%, but has all the Home Rebate card catagories plus office supplies and computer stores and is redeemed as cash and the rewards don’t expire.

Interesting analysis! Love your “out of the box” thinking.

I assume you are talking about the Fidelity Investments 529 College Rewards Card? The “regular” Fidelity Investment Rewards Card offers a 1.5% rebate.
