ih8music Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 The credit card we use most frequently was recently sold to a new bank and we've had a few bad experiences with the new bank's customer support, so we're in the market for a new one. Anyone here particularly happy with theirs? Looking for a card with no annual fee (or a very small one i.e. And obviously good (or at least not shitty) customer support would be nice. There seem to be a bazillion options, so just trying to narrow the list in case anyone feels particularly strongly about theirs. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
remphish1 Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 AMEX Blue...You get 5% back on Gas, Groceries and Drug Stores and 1.5 back on everything else? Of course this is once you spend $6k a year which isn't hard for me because I use my car for work everyday almost on the road. No Annual fee too...If you don't spend 6K a year you still get 1% on gas and .5% on everything else I think? Customer service is great too! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Winston Legthigh Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 mint.com is a good resource for finding a good card - with sortable/selectable awards. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ih8music Posted September 11, 2012 Author Share Posted September 11, 2012 Thanks, all. To those of you recommending AMEX Blue, is it accepted everywhere? I thought AMEX (and Diner's Club & Discover) were hard to use at a lot of common places (grocery stores, etc.). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
calvino Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 My (small/independent) go-to liquor store and Mexican food restaurant doesn't accept AMEX cards - so that sucks. At most common places, I don't have a problem though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bleedorange Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 There are only a few places I shop or eat at that don't take AMEX. For those that don't, I use a seldom-used Visa or Mastercard. If you're trying to decide on one card and one card only, it could be a pain if some of the places you go to frequently don't take it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
remphish1 Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 I find my AMEX is accepted in 98% of the places I go...for those other times I use cash or my American Airlines Mastercard.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
