While staying at home during the COVID-19 pandemic, many of us are paying for credit card benefits that we aren’t using. These unused benefits include anything from bonus point earning spending, to airport lounge access, and even complimentary elite status. With these card benefits going unused, the decision to pay an annual fee becomes much…
Earlier this year Chase made some changes to the popular Chase Sapphire Reserve card. The changes themselves weren’t that significant. However, Chase hasn’t changed the card much at all since releasing it in late 2016, so that alone makes the changes fairly important. Overall, the changes to the Chase Sapphire Reserve card are fairly minor.…
Just over two weeks ago Chase made some significant changes to the ever popular Chase Sapphire Reserve card. Notably, those changes included an increased annual fee (now $550) and added benefits with Lyft and DoorDash. With these changes the question on everyone’s mind seems to be whether or not they should keep the Chase Sapphire…
It’s hard to believe that the Chase Sapphire Reserve card has been around since September 2016. When Chase first introduced the Sapphire Reserve it was easily the best all-around rewards credit card available. It offered 3X points on travel and dining and came with a massive 100,000 Ultimate Reward point sign-up bonus. For that, the…
Back in late August I received an email from Chase. The email outlined my mid-year rewards summary with the Chase Sapphire Reserve card. Now, the Chase Sapphire Reserve credit card was my “go-to” credit card for a pretty long time. In fact, I used little else from when Chase first released the card in 2016…
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…
Priority Pass membership is one of the flagship benefits of the Chase Sapphire Reserve credit card. I can’t tell you how many people I know who open the Sapphire Reserve for the lounge access. When they open the card they think that the credit card will get them into every airline lounge imaginable. Then when…
Just minutes after hitting publish on my post about ditching the Chase Sapphire Reserve card I checked my mail. In my mailbox was a mailer from Chase regarding my CSR card. The mailer highlighted the rewarding year I’ve had with the card and served as a reminder of all the benefits offered by the Chase…
Gasp! I know! I was looking at My Wallet today and I’ve honestly started to wonder if it’s finally time to get rid of the amazing Chase Sapphire Reserve card. Don’t get me wrong, the card is still great, but I’m beginning to wonder if I’m still getting any unique value from the card. Anyone…
While this may surprise you, one of my favorite credit cards in my wallet today is the Chase Freedom card. I say this may surprise you because at face value the card isn’t that appealing. The card is a no annual fee 1% cash back card with limited benefits. However, the card also offers 5%…
