I have good knowledge on many cards. I can suggest only if you can tell me what you are looking for.

Cashback and good limit

Day to day needs to cash back ante, 1st year Discover IT is a killer card. 

If you can maximize the 5% each quarter they match another 5% which makes it 10%. If you can find simple ways to maximize the 5% limits (1500 per Quarter) you can look at getting $600 in cash back just on the categories. Also 1st year that card can be considered a 2% cash back. 

idanta kaadu ante Citi Double cash back is good. 

Kaani both cards do not have signup bonuses. 

What I did was - I applied for an AA card from citi. After 1 year I asked that to be converted to Double cash back. So with 1 hard pul I got the AA miles (signup bonus), and after a year I got the DCB as well. 

If you are after 0% apr, look at Barclays Arrival + cards. They have signup bonus, 0% apr and their points are useful on travel related charges. 

End of the day - in my opinion a hard pull is precious. There are many cards with great signup bonuses. Use your hard pul to get at least one bonus rather than sticking to a plain vanilla card. 

Nenu cheppina konni cards ki annual fee undi. Kaani if you spend well and ask after the 1st year Barclays usually waives the fee. Naaku 2 Barclay cards unnayi. They have waived the fee on both of them for 3 straight years. It is case by case basis but Barclays is very good.

Inka emanna kavalante cheppu

same as discover card....any added benefits over that? and initial sign up and spending ki emiana introductory cash back vunda???

I think they offer 150$ signing bonus if you spend 1000$ ,The biggest benefit of Chase freedom is that you can combine the 5% cash back points with other chase rewards points obtained from other cards , If you have a Chase Sapphire cards , you can accumulate the points , combine them with Chase freedom and use them for travel or transfer those to airlines to buy tickets etc , take this when you plan to have these other cards too , will be more beneficial than standalone

These are rewards cards not for balance transfer , Chase Slate is a balance transfer card which offer balance transfer and 0% APR for 15 months

If you pay your bills on time , you can use cards to your advantage.You can earn between 1-5% for different cards on cash back , rewards etc , you will miss these rewards if you are just paying by cash or debit.

Why miss them if you can pay monthly on time? This 1 or 2% adds over time and can get you some pretty good things.

Having cards and judiciously using them will help your credit too.

Agree with u but I am not saying not to have cards i am saying just don't have too many. having cards and paying on time laga unte it is useful ,will also improve credit history/score  and emergency ki a limits use chesukovachu but most ppl cant use them responsibly. I am saying in that sense. Unnayi limits ani kosukuntu pote last ki migiledi appu. Andaru cards efficient ga use chesukoleru.
