What's the purpose of your next card? I'd like a second card for grocery shopping, or a more general cashback.
Do you have any cards you've been looking at? I'm looking between the Target RedCard (as I shop frequently there) and the American Express More Rewards through my bank, NFCU.
Are you OK with category spending or do you want a general spending card? I'm looking for a supermarket-based card.
I'm not gonna make the decision for at least a couple of months (I expect my card to graduate in about June). However, I would like to look into having at least one more C.C.
My first thought was a Target RedCard, since I shop there frequently. However, I do occasionally frequent Walmart and Krogers. If I got a RedCard, though, it would be more of an incentive to shop at Target.
ALL that said, I do have options at my credit union (NFCU - the card is through American Express, if it matters). I qualify for the "More Rewards", according to the preapproval (I know that's not an official guarantee), but I don't quite get how reward "points" work.
What do you all suggest?
EDIT: added suggested template
EDIT 2: After some thought and research, I decided not to go with Target anything. Even the debit card takes a few days to process, apparently, and it's a waste of space and anxiety to have two debit cards linked to the same bank, and I'm the only one using them. I DID apply for cashRewards, and got a 2.2k limit!
