Chase Freedom (Visa): Chase is one of my staple credit cards. It is similar to Discover in that it has a revolving 5% cash-back and basic 1% cash-back on normal purchases. It comes with a nice sign-up bonus (mine was $50 after the first purchase, but there are better ones like $150 after spending $500 in the first three months so look around) and they have some interesting features such as full-pay where they will tell you your total spending in certain categories so that you can pay those off and avoid paying interest on it. I got the feature even though I never use it since I pay off the bill in full every month, which is again what I recommend to anyone who gets a card. And Chase Freedom is definitely a card I would recommend to anyone who has a decent credit history since the Visa network makes it more widely accepted than Discover. If you can get the offer for $150 cash-back after $500 in purchases within 3 months of getting your card, then just buying a round-trip ticket from home to a vacation spot alone could satisfy the minimum and get you 30% back on that $500. Chase also gives a bonus to consumers with a Chase checking account which is quite nice.
