In my last post, I talked about how the Chase PerfectCard MasterCard was a nice companion to American Express’ Blue Cash card. Although I still believe this is true, I’ve found another card that fits the bill even better.

The new card is also from Chase, and it’s the Chase Freedom Cash World MasterCard. I’ve been using this card for about a week now, and I’ll share a deep dive review of my experiences with it here in the coming weeks after I’ve kicked the tires a bit more with it.

The Blue Cash card from American Express is a monster of a money-maker if you’re able to put a lot on a credit card each month. I put all my everyday purchases and bills on my credit card, so my monthly statements average around $2,200. At this spending level, the Blue Cash card knocks the socks off of any other cash back credit card available to the tune of hundreds of extra dollars a year.

Because of the significant cash back, the AmEx Blue Cash card is now my card of choice. The Chase Perfect Card used to be my #1 card, but it still deserves a spot in my wallet however. Here’s why: with the AmEx Blue Cash card, I’ll run into the occasional merchant that doesn’t take American Express (Sam’s Club, for example). When this happens, I use my Chase Perfect Card. Even in this case, I’ll still be earning at least 1% cash back for the purchase, which is 1% more than I otherwise would have earned had I just resorted to paying with a debit card.
