It’s no secret that the Chase Freedom card is quickly becoming one of the most valuable cards in my wallet. At face value the card is a simple 1% cash back credit card, but it’s actually so much more. While the card offers 1% on all purchases annually, it also offers 5% cash back on…
One of the more difficult to use credit card benefits is the American Express Airline of Choice Benefit. The idea is simple enough. It’s a $200 annual credit card members receive to offset travel expenses. The issue is, unlike other cards the benefit is not automatic. In fact card members have to jump through a…

In theory this product conversion from the Chase Sapphire Preferred to the Chase Freedom should have been easy. In the end the actual conversion was easy, but there have been a…
It may or may not surprise anyone that I don’t have a perfect credit score. Unlike many of the other credit card writers (bloggers) out there, I don’t claim to have perfect credit either.

It’s crazy to think I’ve had the Chase Sapphire Reserve card for a full year. Oh and what a year it’s been. Thanks to the crazy 100,000 points sign-up bonus I flew Lufthansa First Class from Frankfurt to Newark for just $180. That was a truly incredible experience and one that I’d love to have…
