Credit card comparison

I have compared the best TARGETED credit cards deals in the US for cash back and welcome bonus.

Usual welcome bonus for signing up is $150. However you get $200 bonus after you spend $500 in the first three months for this referral. This card is the best 5% cash back when normal credit cards are only 1%. You have to check and sign up for the 5% deal every 3 months and you can 5% for that selected category. Dec 2019 are department stores, paypal, and chase pay.

I use this card for only the 5% category items. The items are the ones listed below. I use other cards for other category because this card only does 1% and other cards has better deals. However, if your purchase fit into the 5% category, you should purchase using this card.

 

This referral link also allows you to earn $200 bonus if you spend $500 in the first three months. By this card you can get 1.5% cash back for all of your purchases when other credit cards are only 1%. This card has an unlimited 1.5% cash back. Usual cards has some cap when they do the bonus percentages but this card has no cap. That is the reason why they say UNLIMITED on the card.

I use this card in normal purchases when there is no other good deal. Using this card is still better than the normal 1% cash back that other card offers.

The Costco citi credit card doesn't have an online promotion going on right now. However, if you go to costco together with your friend with a Costco member, both of you can get a referral bonus of $10 Costco Shop Card in person. Mention you are there for the Refer-A-Friend promotion and provide the employee with this awareness code: 23566

You need to pay the Costco membership fee up front to use this card but you could probably get enough cash back than your membership fee in a year. Biggest is the 4% back on gas. Next is 3% back on restaurants and travels, and 2%gas back on Costco purchases.
I think gas, restaurants, and travels are the most largest spendings.

According to the Costco website,
definition of restaurants are fast food restaurants, cafes, bars and lounges world wide.
definition of travels are airflight tickets, hotel fees, rental cars, cruise lines, travel agencies, and Costco Travel.

I mainly use this card for gas, restaurants, travel expenses, and Costco.
That usually makes around $200 cash back per year. I think the majority of the use is gas though.

You can always get 5% of Amazon & whole foods purchase. Exclusively for customers with an eligible Prime membership. You can also get a $100 Amazon Gift Card instantly upon credit card approval.

There is no way you can avoid using Amazon. If you are going to buy something at least once a year from Amazon, you definately need this card.

You can always get 5% instant savings in Lowes. For new accounts, you can save up to $100 on your first in store purchase. 12 months special financing for appliances, heating, ventilation and conditioning.

Best part compared to Home depot card is that you can get the instant 5% reduction off the product. This card is a card that you should have.
