HSBC Premier World MasterCard®
 

NOTE: Just realized that it has already been covered in the wiki. Stale news, but for anyone who could use it...good luck.

HSBC has introduced a new card that charges no forex charges. I am a bit leery of them since they want details down to the size of my shoes before issuing a card.

Widest International Acceptance1

Shop with confidence across the globe, knowing that your card is accepted at over 24 million locations worldwide. Equipped with the purchasing power of a no pre-set spending limit, it's the only card you'll need:

* 0% Introductory APR on credit card purchases for the first 12 months from Account opening2
* No annual fee
* No pre-set spending limit3
* No foreign transaction fees on purchases made in a foreign currency

The HSBC card sounds like the Capital One, no forex and 1% reward. Thanks for posting this.

Any credit cards that award more than 1% cash back on travel purchases (airfare, hotels, car rentals, restaurants)? 1% seems to be the norm for these types of purchases, so I'd love to know if any cc's offer more.

I have all the points I can use, so some cash might be better at this point. Thanks

You might check out this new card:

CapOne Cash Rewards now offers 1.25% cash back on everything (1% immediately + an additional 0.25% year-end bonus).

Their customer service is pretty remarkably terrible, though.

Take a look at what is available in Credit Cards > Free Cards > Cash Back Cards in my website below.

The AmEx PLUM card gives 2% cash back with no cap.
The Fidelity Investment Rewards card gives 1 1/2% cash back with no cap.

Who has the most complete list of best cards? Are there any blogs recommended out there? Everything on ft and fw is just so spread out I feel like I am on a research question literature review!!! Also where is the best cardoffers.com etc site to apply from?

thanks!

Costco TrueEarnings. 2% on travel. 3% dining.

Perhaps I do. See the credit card section of my website below.

Check the "Which Credit Cards Should I Get" thread at fatwallet - in finance forum in the stickies at the top. It will also link to a couple other threads for balance transfer and signup bonus cards. The summaries (2nd or 3rd post in each thread) are pretty comprehensive.

Well, I've read through some of this thread and I think the Travelocity MC may potentialy be the best card out there, with its up to 4% back on all purchases.

But I'd love to get more feedback on it from someone who actually has it before I apply - how easy it is to book awards etc.

Does anyone know if its possible to get the United Mileage Plus Visa with "Blink"?

I like the idea of setting up a Schwab or Fidelity account for Mad Money and funding it with cash back cards (2% Schwab Visa or Fidelity AMEX; 1-1/2% Fidelity Visa). Pretty good motivator. :cool:

We need an updated credit card list/chart
 

Is there a place where we can build AND MAINTAIN a list or comparison chart for all the relevant credit cards? A place that keeps their APR, annual fees, miles/points per dollar, compatibility with other programs, etc?

I feel like a forum is not the best place for this. I'm looking for cards and I just read the OP's post. It's excellent, but it's years old and some of it is outdated (I think the Starwoods card is $45 instead of $30, for example). So I can't fully trust it. And reading 11 pages worth of forum is not time-effective (and I'll be reading possibly outdated information).

Any ideas on how to do this or where to look if such list already exists?

Thanks

Edit: The fatwallet Finance forum pointed me to this site, which is very useful:
