Anyone using a Discover Cash Back credit card? Any pros vs cons?

I like it for the 5% rotating cash back bonuses! The categories work for my spending habits. Happy to give to referral if you want!

Oh I have the chase freedom cashback too. Different rotating 5% cashback categories compared to discover. I use both discover and chase freedom depending on what I'm buying.

Yes! First year is (or was) double cash back, so 10%. When it’s time for groceries, restaurants, gas, or amazon (December!), it’s pretty good.

Cons are not a ton of utility outside of the promoted category.

Pro is no fee, so no downside of having it as an option in your wallet.

Bought a couple years ago in north county San Diego but had to relocate to the Bay Area for my current job. Current mortgage at my old place is ~$3.5k all including principal/interest + escrow (insurance, property tax etc) with a 2.875% interest rate. Never been a landlord before and obviously not a great time to be selling so curious how much would I need to get in rent in order to make it worth it to me and not losing $$$?
