My boyfriend is new to the credit card game (i know, weird). I have the CSR but want to advise him on the best no fee card where he can start earning points towards travel, etc. Any tips??

100% depends on his spending habits and how he wants to use points.

I really like my Chase Freedom but its not my utility card bc the categories can be limiting. I’ve also thought about getting the freedom unlimited. Maybe look into some of the low fee cards too (<$100 per year)? Some friends of mine love Southwest and there’s also the sapphire preferred

CSR is fairly controversial to have now - which in turn devalues freedom/freedom unlimited. Would probably suggest the doublecash at this point or that weird discover card

I do like the increased Lyft benefits, however. I don’t own a car and spend easily 200-300 a month. The extra 7 points, totaling 10 per dollar is pretty nifty

Uber card is still good as a no annual fee card, as long as he uses Uber to get around

For a basic card, look into Capital One Quicksilver and SavorOne

Fidelity visa. 2% back on everything without a cap. You can withdraw it as cash if wanted. No fees

I tried cheap ones from Amazon. Expensive, second hand gaming chairs. Tried HM Aeron (second hand) and while I didn't like the bulk and the general design, I was sold on the mesh seating. I wanted to get the ErgoChair 2 from autonomous, but it doesn't have mesh seat.
