good rewards credit card

Sigh, every time someone mentions that US Mint scheme, my eyes get a bit watery. Those truly were the good ol days. I always used my Schwab 2% VISA. That card's gone now and so is the US Mint deal.

To stay on topic, I love the BCP card. I use the PenFed Platinum Cash Reward for 5% on gas and the US Bank Cash+ for 5% on restaurants. Then, the 2% Fidelity AMEX.

Still trying to decide which card I want to try, I had a quick question for you slug. It says the PENFED gas card does 5% on gas at the pump, and 3% on supermarkets. For the supermarkets, does that include like Meijer/Kroger/Walmart/Bushes any of those? Or is it like the AMEX blue, where they have to be small chain Grocery stores only.

I recommend picking a card whose benefits are something you can really use. Card with air miles have always been a rip off in my experience. A really good rewards card is the chase Marriott rewards card. That is of course if you travel quite a bit.
