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…
Several years ago, when I tried to open my first credit card, only Bank of America accepted my application. At the time I had absolutely no credit. My only option was to open the BankAmericard for Students. The card is intended to help students with limited credit history build credit. Additionally, a low APR to…
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.

At this point you may realize that the Citi Prestige is was my favorite credit card of all time. When I first converted my Citi Executive AAdvantage card to the Citi Prestige I couldn’t have been more excited. With the new Citi Prestige card I retained Admirals Club access while earning flexible ThankYou points. The old…
Today marks the end of the increased credit card sign up offers from Citi on select AAdvantage cards. Specifically the Citi AAdvantage Platinum Select and CitiBusiness AAdvantage Platinum Select cards. Citi was offering 60,000 AAdvantage miles after spending just $3,000 within the first 90 days for both cards. Both cards come with a $95 annual…
