I posted this in another thread but thought it might get missed due to other unrelated conversations in that thread.
I just opened a Chase Freedom card which is one of those 5% rotating cashback type cards. I was thinking of also opening a Discover it card which is also a rotating rewards card so I would have options when to use them, but I'm not sure if that's a good idea for a few reasons.
First off, it seems the 5% reward the first quarter is the same for both cards (Cash and Ground Transportation). The Chase shows me what the cats are fore each quarter. Discovery it only shows the first quarter.
Is it likely that both will have the same quarterly rotations?
Will opening two cards kill my credit score, and if so for how long? I don't remember what my score is, but it has been excellent. I always pay off my cards on time.
I appreciate your feedback. Seems both cards are very similar and it was a toss up as to which one to open.
