They are also missing Citi Dividend which is also a copy of Freedom and Discover

discover with its .25% dividend is way worse than freedom. Good discover online and GC selection tho

That's true now that discover upped their 5% cap to match Chase. Prior to that, the 5% category spending was on your first couple hundred, not first 1500. A few hundred a quarter was ludicrous.

ShopDiscover does tend to be superior to URmall, though not 100% of the time.

I slickdeals:
Staples = revenue stream

Drink Coke products but don't know what MCR means? I'd be much obliged if you PMed me codes (under the caps or box flaps)

Well Discover was that way prior, then lowered it, then freedom came in and did what discover had done before, and discover had to go back and redo what they did.

I've had the same Discover card for a decade and don't remember them having 1500 limits until a year or so ago. Guess I'm just forgetful.

I have too. I could have sworn they did but maybe not.

They started that lower than 1% crap for the first 1500 or something you spend each year the other year. Are they still doing that?

I don't think freedom has picked up on that yet.

Yeah, they've always had that -- .25% back on your first 1000 or 1500 and then 1% back after. I assume they still do, though I'm not sure. I really use that card only for shopdiscover and 5% categories and use Freedom as my main card, especially because I get bonus points for having a checking account.
