According to my husband, his ring vendor gave a significant discount (3% or more, I forget exactly) for paying in cash so he mailed a check. He also said some vendors didn't seem to allow CC payments, so make sure yours allows for cc before you open new ones.

That said, would sign up for a card that is both (1) offering an excellent sign up bonus and (2) offers transfers to hotel chains or airlines you utilize regularly. Commonly referred here at your spending level are the capital one venture x, either of the amex plat or gold, and a few of the hotel- or airline-specific ones.

Alright auto fishes, I’m in the market for a entry level luxury car. Open to used or a lease. I don’t plan to use it as a daily driver, live in an HCOL. Only restriction is that I’d like to keep my monthly costs at no more than $600-$700/month (including insurance, financing / fees, etc; have a parking spot already). Doesn’t have to be a European badge. Thoughts?
