It’s no secret that I’m a huge fan of the no annual fee Chase Freedom card. In fact, I think it’s one of the best no annual fee credit cards on the market. While the card is plenty great by itself, pairing it with a Chase Ultimate Rewards card, such as the Chase Sapphire Preferred…
A few days ago I mentioned that I finally received my AAdvantage Aviator Red card from Barclaycard. Although I’ve mentioned briefly why I chose to apply for the card, I’ve never fully explained the benefits of this card.

It’s nice to know people at Chase are reading this blog and making changes accordingly. Yesterday I wrote about a confusing email from Chase regarding the ability to earn 3X Ultimate Rewards points from Apple Pay purchases.
