Best Big Box Store CC

Hello BP community,

I am seeking some advice when it comes to accounting of my DIY shopping habits.

Over the past few years I have been shopping at Home Depot with my personal credit card(2X cash back on all purchases). I have found Home depot to have the better (still basic) form of accounting for materials purchased.

However I've recently grown and need some advice on (proactively) segregating expenses between properties.

My main concern is finding a way to properly separate each purchase into a bucket via a spreadsheet. right now, nearing the end of the year, i see a huge list of purchases and i'm dreading picking them apart trying to allocate each item to a specific property / purpose. It's worse because i'm a owner occupant on one unit, so there's a ton of grey area.


I know that Lowes and home depot offer "pro" credit cards with built-in discounts.

Do these Big Box CCs offer a breakdown of end-of-year spending statement? 

Which has worked best for you? 

Which offers the most in the way of rewards?

Thanks in advance!
