Most Underrated Credit Card?
Everybody knows about the Chase Sapphire Preferred and Barclays Arrival, but what is a card that you think is under rated? It can be because it has a great sign up bonus or because it has great earning potential

Thanks, hopefully get some good responses. I'm pretty new to FT, but assuming I can continue to edit the OP I'll do so once recommendations come in.
Yeah, I started that thread as well. Interesting to see the differences in recommended cards by all of the forums.

I'm thinking about getting the Club Carlson card. I need to make sure there are enough Ramadas et al in places I am going to be staying though.
The second night free on award stays seems hard to beat.

The Upromise Card
The Upromise card is the most underrated, IMHO. You earn 5 percent on all purchases made through their shopping portal, and there are many travel vendors in the portal offering 5 percent additional payback, so a total of 10 percent off of online travel bookings. Also pays 3 percent on gas purchases from Exxon/Mobil. This is a cash back card. It is not just for college students or their parents. Anyone can register with Upromise.

I rarely hear about this card, but it's one of my favorites for its earning potential for most people:
The Sallie Mae card from Barclays pays 5% cash back at gas stations (up to $250 per month), 5% cash back at grocery stores (up to $250 per month), and 5% cash back at book stores including Amazon (up to $750 per month).
