My new U.S. Bank Cash Plus Card came in the mail this week and I have been uber excited. This is the card I told you about a few months ago that gives you 5% cash back in 2 categories you choose. I just activated my card then signed on to their Cash+ site to select my categories. I picked the 2% category for groceries which I may not really use. I already have a 2% back card that gives a FULL two on everything so that is not really needed but just in case it happens to be in my wallet at the grocery store.
The two 5% categories I picked were
- Hotels
- Restaurants
Although I was surprised that it did not combine the restaurants with fast food. Discover and Chase and other bank credit cards let you put the category with everything under Dining which would include Fast Food and Restaurants. Since I had to choose one or the other I decided it was best to choose the one that I would benefit more from in higher spending. I definately spend more money at restuarants than fast food. REstaurants hopefully still incude bars and nightclubs as well which is a big expense of mine of around $1,500 a month at least.
