Besides power, you've also got Fidelity (1.5% if you have a Fidelity account, 2% if it's a 529 college saver). And Amex Blue Cash (1.5% once you pass the tiers).

Honestly though, I'm thinking there's more to be gained by getting lots and lots of 3/5% back with specialty cards... it's just a nightmare on your wallet.

quiznut,

Ya, I hear ya'!!! Just tryin' to think it out before I've got a chimney full of plastic......LOL!!! That timeline still gets me. The 3/5% cards would definitely hamper my spending to achieve that 2% within the time limit so I have to think hard before I commit to something like the B of A!

Rhino,

I agree about the 3/5% thing. I guess it's about exactly as it should be. If you *want* 3/5%, you're gonna have limits, you're gonna have to manage a lot of cards and.......well........."work for it!"

As for the wallet burden........ya............Here's an ugly scenario.........

"Dude.....did you **** yourself?? Your backside's lookin' kinda' full!"

"Oh that.....No. Those are just my credit cards!"

For me, the Emigrant Direct card is the best flat-rate card. I say this because I qualify for the 1.40%, I don't spend enough to qualify for the Amex Blue benefits, nor could I get the necessary points on the BOA card before they would expire, and I dont have a fidelity account. So for *me*, the Emigrant Direct card is the best.

Daivd-

Great point! The best card often depends on one's individual spending habits and lifestyle.
