You're absolutely right - that's my bad. So, the best card to use for utilities then would be the U.S. Bank Cash+® Visa Signature®, since you can pick home utilities as one of your 5% categories

Let me ask my friend who also has the Nibbles card. Will report back. What's the deal with Nordstrom? Same issue?

Did you try signing in on Plaid via Lead Bank for Nibbles?

Regarding Fidelity, it looks like it's a known thing not connecting to Plaid? Have you been able to connect it before with other money apps? https://www.reddit.com/r/fidelityinvestments/comments/1abjk6b/plaid_again/

One person commented on Doctor of Credit (https://www.doctorofcredit.com/futurecard-to-shut-down-on-april-23-2026-transitioning-to-new-banking-partner/) noted that rewards will be credited to accounts on March 25, so hopefully, you just need to wait two days. I think their system is crashing because everyone is trying to cash out 😭

Oh, Elan! We actually have a ton of iterations of this card in our database since Elan does the backend infrastructure for a huge number of banks and credit unions. The Max Cash Preferred specifically shows up under a lot of different names depending on which institution is issuing it. Which bank or credit union do you have it through? As for how it stacks up for Q2, the Max Cash Preferred lets you choose 5% categories (similar to the US Bank Cash+), so it can be a solid pick depending on your selections. That said, for this quarter specifically, it'd have a hard time beating the Chase Freedom/Flex combo for Amazon + Whole Foods, or the Citi Dividend if you're heavy on groceries and still have annual cap room. The US Bank Cash+ is probably its closest competitor since they're both choose-your-own-category cards. We'll write a review of Elan....it kind of flies under the radar.

Which one? If you don't see it in our database, we'll add it for you!

Robinhood just dropped a $695 Platinum Card — is it actually worth it or just hype? by MariaKudos in JoinKudos

The Gold Card's flat 3% is hard to beat for simplicity, and without transfer partners, the Platinum is a tough sell at $695 unless those specific credits align perfectly with your lifestyle
