Replacing the Uber Credit cards
TL;DR: Uber card benefits changed, and we can replace it with the SavorOne card or the Wells Fargo Propel. Uber changed its reward structure: 5% back in Uber credits on Uber rides, Uber eats, and JUMP 3% back in Uber credits in food and travel no $50 subscription bonus anymore 🙁 The biggest disappointments are no 4% back in restaurants anymore, and all credits are now rewarded as Uber credits rather than cash back. This has prompted a lot of people to ask me what the best replacement cards are. As far as I’m aware, to cover the restaurant category with a similar no annual fee card, the best choices…

More 5% Credit Cards
TL;DR: Nusenda has a credit card that’s similar to Discover, with rotating 5% cash back categories. As a disclaimer I don’t personally have this one yet; I plan to let my credit breathe a little bit before I do so. I’ve heard customer support isn’t great so it wasn’t first in my queue. However, 5% is 5%, and it’s still worth checking out. Happy Nusenda’ing, TheJKW P.S. Remember, a new post comes weekly by Sunday 5pm CST!

Lyft Rewards Overview
TL;DR: Link your Hilton Honors and Delta Skymiles Rewards Accounts to Lyft to earn more rewards. I also recap all known Lyft rewards so far. Lyft is offering 3 Hilton Honors points per $1 spent. Delta Skymiles is also offering 1x points for every $1 spent on Lyft rides. Once you have those accounts, you can link them here and here. These stack with each other as well as other rewards! So to recap, with every Lyft ride you can get: 3 Hilton Honors points per $1 spent 1x Delta Skymiles points for every $1 spent $0.5 – $5 worth of points with Freebird 10pts ($0.01) per $1 spent with…

3% Walgreens
TL;DR: The Apple Card offers 3% at Walgreens and Duane Reade Making it finally worthy of potentially adding to your arsenal. When this first came out it was strictly dominated by other cards, but now this is worth if you happen to go to Walgreens a lot. Let’s see if they come out with more perks. Happy Apple Card’ing, TheJKW

Aerospace FCU Credit Card
Edit: Seems like this has some pretty stringent restrictions TL;DR: this It seems new, but it boasts 5% back on gas, 4% on restaurants and entertainment, 3% back on travel, and 2% back on everything else with no annual fee and no foreign transaction fee. For most people, this renders most other credit cards redundant. (Annual limits apply to each category, but for the majority of the US population those are irrelevant). Shoutout to my coworker Spaulding for this seriously nice find! Happy ACFU’ing, TheJKW

5% back: Walmart
TL;DR: Capital One and Walmart are teaming up for a new 5% card And it’s coming soon. The main benefit is 5% back on Walmart.com, and 5% in-store (but only the first 12 months, sad 🙁 ). If you’re a Walmart fan, this could be it for you. Happy Walmart’ing, TheJKW
