| As if! |
Here is a sweet breakdown of stuff I got mighty cheap or sometimes even free over the past two years:
- $200 off my tv (initial sign-up bonus)
- Surround sound for me, later a set as a birthday gift for my guy
- Red computer speakers
- Bathroom radio
- Kitchen under-cabinet radio
- Blu-ray player
- Sony Dash
- Smaller perks like free rentals
Here are the two cards I am debating to replace it:
Discover More
I haven't had a Discover card for a few years but folks on Slickdeals are always purchasing through the Discover Online Shopping Mall for extra cashback at stores I like (amazon, lowes, office depot, etc). They are always reminding each other to go through the site and I feel left out, damnit!
Pros:
- I could save up to 20% shopping through their ShopDiscover portal, including 5% at Lowes and Depot
- The orange band around the card is cute
- No sign-up bonus, instead they have a 0% apr which is pointless for me
- 5% Bonus categories change every other month so I would need to keep track
- Discover isn't accepted everywhere
Chase Freedom
Pros:
- $200 bonus cashback after I spend $500 in first three months
- 5% Bonus categories also always change
- Their store portal gives up to 10% back on on-line store purchases
- Chase sold me off to Capital One once already
AMEX business - 5% back at gas stations, my cellphone, office supply stores, JetBlue flights
Citi Diamond Preferred - Used to be my go-to for drugstores and wasn't used for over a year but if I go with Discover having a MasterCard could be handy for places which diss both AMEX and Discover.

Sounds like you've done your homework. My first card was a Discover Card and it was hard to find any place that would take it. Hopefully if you choose that one you will have better luck than I did.
