I have over 50 credit cards. Some I got because of great sign up bonuses. Others I got for 5-6% cash back on basic purchases. With the right combo of cards you can easily get 5% cash back on: Gas, Groceries, Restaurants, Fast Food, Office Stores, Cable, Internet, Phone Bill, Drug Stores, Fitness Stores, Travel, Book Stores, Movies
MILITARY INFO: With SCRA Benefits many of these credit cards are amazing. For example, some of these cards have $500+ annual fees, but these are waived every year due to military status. Even though the annual fee is waived you still get great benefits like $200 credits and free priority pass membership or free hotel room nights every year.
Here are some of my credit cards
Where to Start??
There are the three credit cards that every military member should have in my opinion.
