Travel with Grant will be at FTU Advanced Seattle this Weekend – Say Hello!

Good morning everyone, happy Friday. I will be flying up to Seattle this weekend to attend FTU (Frequent Traveler University) Advanced, a travel conference where some of your favorite travel bloggers will be presenting. If you see me at the event (I’m not hard to spot, just look for the gray Travel with Grant shirt), feel free to stop and chat with me. I am not presenting and I’ve heard most of the presenters many times, so I am mainly there to talk to fellow travel bloggers, readers, and catch up with old friends.

Almost every week, someone who knows I’m a miles and points girl, and savvy about credit cards, asks me this question: “If I want to get a cash back credit card, which one do you suggest?” There’s never a one-size-fits-all answer! There’s a lot to consider. For instance, it’s smart to consider how much cash you get back, how much you spend and in what categories, and what the fees and rebate rules are. And there are tons of card choices out there.

Recently, I came upon a great tool that helps navigate these cash back card choices, and I wanted to make sure you knew about it. It helps by calculating the costs and benefits of the major cash back cards based on buying patterns. It’s called the Credit Card Advisor Comparison Tool and it was created by Consumer Reports.

Here are 3 different scenarios (showing various spending amounts in a few categories) and the credit cards the tool recommends. It also incorporates any sign up bonuses and shows that in the 1 year total.
