A few days ago I hit publish on yet another post where I discuss the Citi Prestige card. In that post I went through some of the benefits of the refreshed card, but also considered how it would fit into My Wallet. In that post I compare the Citi Prestige card to the Chase Sapphire…
I just can’t stop thinking about the Citi Prestige card. Sure the constant feed of articles hitting my google feed about the card has something to do with it, but bottom line, I think it’s a great all-around card. I just can’t help but think I’m making a mistake by not carrying it. For that…
As I’ve mentioned several times before, the Chase Freedom card is one of the most interesting cards in my wallet today. What makes the card interesting, for me, is that it’s a Cash Back credit card. Every single other card I carry (besides my old Bank of America card) is a point earning card. For…
Ah, I love when a post basically writes itself. I say that because this post simply fell into my lap today as I was checking my inbox. As I went through several unread emails from American Airlines I noticed on that caught my eye. The subject line of the email, although familiar, captivated me. When…
As you may of heard by now Marriott’s rewards program, for better or worse, is getting a new name. Beginning later this month, February 13th to be exact, the Marriott Rewards program will become Marriott Bonvoy.

Generally when many of us sign up for new credit cards we end up applying because of a few flagship benefits. It’s the huge 60,000 sign-up bonus or 5X Points on Airfare that finally convinces us to sign-up for a card. However, after we sign up perhaps we don’t do the best job in maximizing…
I’ve had a troubled relationship with the Barclays AAdvantage Aviator lineup of credit cards. My relationship with the Barclays Aviator card began in late 2017 when I opened the Aviator Red card. At the time the card was offering 60,000 AAdvantage miles after making a single purchase. Thanks to the increased sign-up offer from Barclays…
There’s no doubt that the Chase Sapphire Reserve card has been dropping in popularity since its debut in 2016. It’s not that the card isn’t good anymore, but rather other card issuers have beefed up their benefits. Over the past two years we’ve seen card issuers add 3X, 4X and even 5X points categories to…
