Best banker credit cards

Hey all -

I’ve been building my credit on a basic student credit card with 1% cash back on all purchases and 5% for select transactions that vary from month to month. I’m gonna be starting FT in NYC and was wondering what credit cards make the most sense as an AN1 to get the most benefit/rewards.

I’ve heard the AMEX gold is great because of the benefits for dining out/groceries but would appreciate any perspective on what you guys find most rewarding and use on a day to day basis

Amex plat works best when you can travel a lot. If you expect to be at your desk for most of the year, it may not be as worth as other credit cards
