The other day I saw a rather interesting email from Chase regarding my Sapphire Reserve card. It was a standard marketing email, but one that caught my eye. It caught my eye because it was promoting a use of points that I would never advise and one that is typically a terrible value. That is,…
It’s been an interesting past few years for Marriott hotels. See, back in 2015 Marriott and Starwood formally announced plans to merge. That announcement set in motion a chain of events which eventually led to the formal announcement of the Marriott Bonvoy rewards program earlier this year. However, a lot happened in between then and…
There is no doubt about it, for the past few years Chase has been the absolute leader in consumer credit cards. I can’t think of another card issuer out there that offers such a well-rounded group of credit cards that offer mass appeal. Specifically, Chase has done an excellent job marketing their Chase Freedom and…
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…
As you may of heard by now Marriott’s rewards program, for better or worse, is getting a new name.

As another year begins I think it’s time to once again check-in and do an overview of My Wallet. As competition among credit card issuers heat up I think it’s important to look at the cards I carry to see if there are better options available. So, after going through the cards currently in my…
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…
As I’ve written about several times before, the Chase Freedom card is one of my favorite cards in my wallet. I love the card because it offers one of the more unique benefits out there today. Namely, the card offers a unique 5% Cash Back (5X Points) on rotating bonus categories every quarter. This benefit…
As I’ve mentioned several times before, the Chase Freedom card is a favorite card in My Wallet today. At face value the card is simply a 1% Cash Back credit card that lacks an annual fee. However, this card offers one unique benefit that absolutely makes the card worth carrying. That is, each quarter, Chase…
