...what do you recommend? I'm looking for something that I can accumulate some reward points with.
Little background...I'm 26, have always just used my debit card and am about to start work as an attorney next week. I don't live outside of my means and will always timely pay the balance, so I'm not really worried about the interest rate, just about what is the best to accumulate points.
While I don't think it's important, I come from Long Island, NY.
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Check out Chase Freedom Mastercard. Very flexible reward points, easy to use website, and they calculate your points each month according to your 3 highest spending categories, so you basically get the most possible points. And you can do cash back OR redeem the points for merchandise. If you accumulate $200 in reward points they throw you an extra $50 for free.
you have spent 4 years at underground and 3 years at law school ... 26 ... and asking for credit card advice from a running advice. Did you just arrive in town on turnip truck? I finally amazing you are asking advice when are law school grad.
Both Chase and Citibank have what you need.
What does being a law school graduate have to do with having any knowledge whatsoever of a good credit card with points back?
I have had no need for a credit card while at school and finally need one. So I figured I would ask on the message board I frequent for advice. Sorry, I forgot Letsrun was meant solely for running advice and nothing else.
It's hard believe I'm even bothering to respond to a comment that uses misplaced adverbs and cannot even complete a full sentence, but as they say, I guess ignorance is bliss.
Enjoy your turnips buddy.
You are 26 and an law grad - and can't determine on your own the advantages and disadvantages of certain credit cards? I am sure for your law degree you did a significant amount of research but you are instead here relying on a rag-tag bunch of internet phonies who may or may not know what they espouse instead of relying on your own well-worn research abilities? You are relying on them over your own abilities? Unbelievable.
Don't mind the trolls.
Try to get one with cash back, they're almost exclusively superior to points-rewards ones. Since you pay off the balance every month don't worry about the interest rate.
American Express Blue gives you points for every purchase you make...at the end of the year they give you cash back...my first year I received almost $400.
