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…
Yep, Christmas came early this year! A few days ago my long awaited Chase Freedom card arrived in the mail. Even better, the card Chase sent me featured the new updated design. As I’m sure you can tell by now, I’m excited to finally have a Chase Freedom card in my possession. I’ve wanted a…
It’s official! After months of trying to convert my Chase Sapphire Preferred to the Chase Freedom card I finally have a Chase Freedom account. 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’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…

For me the most valuable benefit of the United MileagePlus Explorer card are the two one-time United Club passes card members receive each year.

A little over a week ago I downgraded my Chase Sapphire Preferred card. Because my account is less than one year old my only option was to downgrade to the no annual fee Chase Sapphire card. I wanted to convert to the Chase Freedom card, but was unable due to the age of my account.…
For years the Chase Sapphire Preferred has been the ‘best travel rewards card’ on the market. When the card was first introduced in 2011 it helped set the standard for travel rewards credit cards. Every credit card related website praised the card and how great the card’s benefits are. With all that hype it’s no…
One of the most difficult decisions of maintaining multiple credit cards is whether or not to pay a cards annual fee. Some cards, such as the Marriott Rewards Premier card, carry low annual fees which are easy to justify paying for year after year. Others, such as the Luxury Card Gold Card, are much more difficult…
Just a little under a month ago I, somewhat randomly, opened the United MileagePlus Explorer card. I didn’t intend on opening that particular card as I don’t frequently fly with United Airlines. Then, as I mentioned previously, I received a targeted offer for 70,000 United MileagePlus miles after spending $3,000 in the first 90 days.…
