My old Citi card gave me 1% cash back on everything. My new Chase card isn't much better. I get 1% back on everything and then 5% cash back on a couple of categories that change each quarter.
Yeah my ghetto chase card while steady at 1% cash back only has a few usable 5% slots.
This time it's 5% on groceries though, I will stockpile a bit more.
the 2012 calendar is more interesting than previous offers
Gas/Amazon was the first. Grocery/movie theatres second (current). Gas/Restaurants third, and finally Hotel/airline/Best Buy/Kohls.
first was awesome. I fill up every 3rd day and shop Amazon weekly.
Second is also great, I don't go to the movie theatre though. Not too enjoyable.
next quarter I will profit a lot. We eat out more now and again I always am filling up.
The last one is hit or miss. If I end up traveling I will profit. Best Buy is usually a losing situation...they are overpriced but convenient. I shop there for last minute items.
Kohls is good especially around the holidays.
