What's the Best Credit Card if You're a Baller

[Meadow Skipper]

Well clearly not Chup but that's okay, I'm not hurt. Much.

Aw, don’t feel bad. SWA flies to ABQ, only an hour from my place. And my place is two hours to Taos. And I have a spare bedroom and a platinum Amex...silver though.

[iceman]

That's way better! Nah.

Just messing but I just need a couple short flights and I'm golden. Like Newark and back. And all the way across the country kinda sucks on SW. I like SW but that's true.

One time a couple years ago I was running way late for a CA flight on SW and I hadn't had a thing to eat all day. I snagged one of those 2-piece Snickers and ran onto the plane. Then they made an annnouncement that there was a peanut allergy sufferer on the flight and don't eat anything with peanuts in it. I almost cried.

I'm almost positive the person survived.

[Meadow Skipper]

...all the way across the country kinda sucks on any airline...

FIFY...unless you’re killin’ it on Amex points, of course.

[hawkgt]

being a corp hack, I have to carry am ex green and use for flights, hotels, and cars. nothing impresses like pulling out am ex green

[BmillsSkier]

LuVon full of cash..

That's Gucci.

[Garbowski]

This was one of my first cards. It had a 5% cash back promotion on all purchases and I would max out the promotion every month- which was a few times higher than my limit.

The most ballin card is the one with the highest annual fee.

AARP was your first credit card?

[BmillsSkier]

AARP was your first credit card?

I'm glad I'm not the only one who read that right.




For me: Delta mega-hub, points out the ass, companion tickets and status = Delta Platinum AmEx. Ain't anything baller, but man it works.

[Garbowski]

AARP was your first credit card?

One of my first. Loan sharks don't care about your age.

Airline benefits are the only things that look useful on the baller cards. I've been doing fine without a concierge that works for a credit card company.

[MakersTeleMark]

Never owned one, but yours I can wine and dine real nice.

[Timberridge]

I gotta say though, the Chase Southwest Visa card been berry berry good to me. Wife hasn't paid for a SW flight in like 5 years, and still I pile up the points.Get that card. Fly Business Select. Profit.

My fights with them have really tailed off, just the reasons for them, nothing they did, but I'm trying to sneak over the wire to get the Companion Pass for one more year, who wants to see me?

That sounds like a card for the unwashed masses. Not something I'm interested in.

Does Southwest even have real first class seats covered in real leather? I've never flown it. I like that their planes are colorful though.

[iceman]

Nope. It's all one class. They do have leather seats though. Or pleather or something.

[Timberridge]

And you have to buy the peanuts?

[tripice351]

Limited edition rose gold Amex Platinum

Limited edition rose gold Amex Platinum

Hmm. That might make a nice everyday card.

[BmillsSkier]

Hmm. That might make a nice everyday card.

It would go with my watch, that's for sure.

[Timberridge]

BMills, check first. The rose gold on the Richard Mille case is very subtle. The card looks much more pink.

This could be a nice everyday card. Though I'd worry that even a C-class owner could get one.

Good call.

Do you think Drew has that Merc Amex?

As opposed to what? First class? Personally I’ll take my SW exit row seat over comfort + or whatever the airlines call extra space. First class on my flight this week did have me questioning my SW loyalty. I fly enough to hit the highest levels of rewards if I stick to one carrier (except concierge key on American). But I fly too much personally to cover my trips and my wife’s ticket without the companion pass.

The Mercedes Amex card is discontinued. I had one -- got a pile of Amex MR points, lounge access, airline gift cards ($400 IIRC), and $200 in MBZ schwag from the dealer gift shop.... though I don't own a Mercedes, never have, and never will.

[Timberridge]

Neufox, have you looked into the NetJets MarquisJet card?

The Mercedes Amex card is discontinued.

I'll cross that off the list then. Thanks.

[BmillsSkier]

I'll cross that off the list then. Thanks.

Somone tell Drew before its too late to ding his credit on the application.

[Timberridge]

And his mom, as his cosigner.

[BmillsSkier]

Shit I totally forgot about the co-signer. This could wreck an entire household.

Wow, John Waters has come a long way from Pink Flamingos.
