20y/o about to graduate college. I currently have a Discover student card but would like to get another credit card that gives back. I travel a lot so points or cash back on fuel would be great. I also fly across country 4-5 times a year. Any recommendations?

One of the Chase Freedom cards would probably be a good starter. They have 5% back on gas bonus offer right now for a year but I know it’s about to end. Eventually you can use your points and transfer them to one of the Sapphire cards which are great for travel.

Capital One Venture X if you don’t mind paying the $395 fee, however see below for the benefits (you get back $400 back annually so essentially $5 gain for you). DM for referral if interested.

Great sign on referral promo right now, also get back $300 in statement credits for flights per year + $100 in points each year along with travel benefits like trip delay or cancellation protection, cell phone protection, price drop protection, luggage reimbursement, free lounge access, Hertz status, etc.
10x on hotels, 5x on flights, 2x on everything else $395 annual fee - get back $400 in statement credits plus additional benefits each year

There’s calculators online that let you input your estimated spend and tell you the best credit card for you

What do you spend most of your money on? (Groceries, flights, hotels, eating out, gas, etc.) Chase Freedom cards could be a good no annual fee card. If you fly the same airline and don't mind annual fee and check bags on flights, a $100 AF airline card could work for you. Chase Sapphire Preferred or Amex blue/green/gold are also options depending on what you spend money on

thanks !!

Hi fellow fish need some advice.

I'm planning a wedding and wondering if I should apply for new credit cards to maximize on points. If so, wondering what your recommendations are and or if there are new cards out there I haven't heard of yet. For context I probably have another 20k+ in expenses to pay still and my current cards are:

CSP
Marriott Bonvoy Boundless
Citi double cash
Random card (used to be uber)

I have been searching for a travel card for months. I am a young guy who is looking to take advantage of credit and earn points at the same time.

My girlfriends family has Southwest and swear by it, with companion pass being the differentiator. I am in the DMV area and have mostly flown Jet Blue or Southwest. Any thoughts on this?
