## Overview

Genuinely asking because I feel like I should have this figured out by now. I’ve got a few cards — Amex Platinum, Chase Freedom, and a couple of Wells Fargo cards (Autograph and Reflect). I know they all have different strengths but in the moment, especially online, I just grab whatever autofills or whatever I used last time. Looked back at some purchases last month and honestly kind of embarrassed. Used my Reflect on a restaurant charge when my Freedom probably would’ve been better. Nothing cat
