In your experience or knowledge of the game; does blue bank sanction anyone if you keep opening cards and bank with them? Even if you dont do MS ?
I like Nicole's combo the best. I like more of the amenities while traveling.
New subsriber here. Found you on Spotify. Great information. I currently have the venture X. Definitely a must have. Of course i don't like it talked about it so much because i don't want the lounges to be crowded like centurion lounges 😂😂
Csr does not have Instacart credits anymore
Yes. Sadly discontinued at the end of July.
We need a cash back episode and you need to put the saver one on it. If y'all love the venture act you know the saver one is the one that makes all the points for the venture X.
We love the Capital One Savor One card for its great category multipliers and it’s even better paired with the venture X! They discontinued the regular Savor card recently and we’ll have to see if they launch something else even better.
The transfer partners are dog sht. Doesnt matter the point multiplier if you cant get any value out of it.
I love the chemistry the four of you have. I have learning so much from your videos.. albeit very slowly learning haha. I currently only have one cash back card the Citi Costco card but I am interested in this cash back cards linked to travel cards. I just applied and got the chase freedom unlimited to pair with my CSP.
Congrats on your new card! Thank you for the kind words and we are happy you find our show helpful!
Would love to have Cap One Venture X Business if it wasn’t for such a high sign up spend. Am I dreaming that Cap One would lower the spend, even if a lower SUB?
The lowest we’ve seen is $20k in 3 months recently. Definitely for big spenders or those with high property and income tax bills.
Preferred, IHG and Altitude Reserve (includes PP dining).
We love how the Altitude Reserve includes PP dining! 🙌
My keeper cards Hilton Aspire (X2) Amex Gold Chase Sapphire Reserve Citi Strata Premier Nicole riding that Hilton train. You love to see it. I’ve been slacking on the shows as I’ve been traveling for work these last couple of weeks. Currently flying back to Japan from Hawaii. I have only (1) true cash back card and that is the Amex Everyday Preferred Card as that gives me 6% on streaming and other Apple subscriptions when I link the charges to my apple wallet. Keep it up team. Another great one. Lastly, flying ANA economy from Hawaii and the flight is uncomfortably warm. I stated before that ANA has “warm” flights when traveling economy and for the most part it’s true.
Great list of keeper cards, Carlos! We've experienced the same with warm flights on Japan Airlines as well. We might need to start packing a personal fan! As soon as Nicole steps foot on Conrad Maldives, she will be Hilton for LIFE! Haha! Safe travels to you and thank you for bringing us along with you on your flights.
I would get the CAP1VX if the number of rotating accounts on my credit report didn't get me ban by CAP1. I have 25 CCs, so I need to able to keep 5 cards : AMEX Bus Plat., Hilton Aspire, CSR, Ritz-C, and the Wyndham Bus. Earner.
Wow, 25 credit cards, you sound like Mitch 🤣 solid lineup you have…do you feel the Ritz is worth keeping now that the restaurant priority pass benefit is gone?
@@LetsGetToThePoints I must admit part of the allure of the Ritz to me is bcus it's not that popular. Also in a world of monthly credits, the $300 is sooooo easy to use and that 85K certificate is always woth more than $150 to me. Yeah, I really wish Chase had just limited the number of visits and/or guess than to lower the power of it's priority pass, it's seem to me it was more of a knee jerk reaction to cutting cost, and not thinking of keeping exclusivity of their cards, also that was not a way to making holders of the JP Morgan card feel special. Now, the CSR isn't must better than the CAP1VX, if at all.
We agree with you 100%. You’re right that 85k cert is a nice perk of the card!
Great video. I have most of your keeper cards, and that’s why my annual fees are too high. The last card I really want is the Hilton Aspire, but I am in pop-up jail now. Gardening is no fun. 😢
Thank you for watching! Gardening is no fun at all! Hopefully you can get the Aspire card soon. Note pop up results will vary depending on the links you use to apply. We’ve seen pop ups via referral and then no pop ups via public links.
I love your show! Look forward to watching every week!
Thank you so much for being here! We appreciate you!
My keepers: Hilton Aspire, Hilton Surpass, Amex Plat… honorable mention Bilt
Thank you for sharing your list! Those are great cards!
Always enjoy hearing your thoughts. I was about to say, no mention of Hyatt card as keeper card until the end when Miguel mentioned it. Definitely worth a keeper to me as the automatic 5 nights help with the 60 nights globalist status. I also plan to keep other hotel cards that comes with the certificate. Have the ihg biz, Marriott boundless chase, Marriott biz Amex. They have been great for those quick 1 night transfer / transit. I was able to book recently the Crowne plaza right inside the Singapore airport with ihg free night. Very useful. But also understand it’s a pain to keep track and use up those certs before expiration. 😅
We could not forget about all those great hotel keeper cards! Definitely a pain to keep track of but great for those who are organized. Glad to hear the Crowne Plaza at SIN worked out. These certs are great for those instances! We hope little Monkey enjoyed all the fun things at the airport!
Love the show guys :)
Thank you for watching!!!
5 Amex Slot: Hilton Aspire - keeper card Hilton Surpass - keeper card for 15k FNC Hilton Honors - waiting for upgrade offer as Mitch mentioned Amex Blue Cash - oldest card, can't close Amex Optima - 2nd old card Had to close BBP and Hilton Business card to the the Surpass and regular Hilton Honors card with the FNC offer 👎🏼 on the cash back episode poll. All gas, no brakes on points and miles cards! My keeper cards: Hilton Aspire and my new Surpass card, Amex Personal Gold card, and prev the Bilt card, but not anymore after their recent changes. I'm with Nicole with lounge access, so I do have CSR and an AU for the C1 Venture X.
Wow, Gene! The Amex Optima. We have not heard about that card in a while! We love seeing your list and it’s too bad about Bilt. We were really hoping they could have done better. The Amex 5 is so limiting…thank goodness for 2+ player mode! 🥳
Hi, I’m just getting into the credit card game. I just applied for my first business credit card (chase ink preferred, 120k bonus) and got approved. I was wondering do you guys only use your business cards for business purchases or do you use it for all your expenses?
Congrats on your approval! This is a fantastic bonus. Chase wants you to use it for business purposes. Your accountant does as well. But you can really use the card for anything you want. Some people like to keep business expenses separate from personal expenses.
@@LetsGetToThePoints thanks for that! I’m a big fan of your channel because like us you have big families. I have a question that I think could be both interesting and fun for your next episode. Here are our stats: - **Player 1**: 2/24 with Chase (United Explorer, Sapphire Reserve, Chase Amazon Prime, Chase Marriott Bonvoy Boundless, chase ink business preferred), 180k Chase Rewards points, 40k United Airlines miles, Gold status with Marriott, Silver status with Accor Live Limitless. Amex Delta Blue Skymiles. - **Player 2**: No Chase cards (0/24), Amex Delta Gold, American Airlines AAdvantage MileUp Card (75k points), Saudia Alfursan credit card (120k Alfursan points). We both have over 800 credit scores, and we’re expecting $80k-$100k in spend from now until April 2025, with about $60k of annual spend afterward. Our question is: What credit cards do you recommend for us to open so we can travel in business class the summer of 2025 and to get free hotel accommodations for a family of 6 (2 adults and 4 kids under 11) from Saudi Arabia to Southeast Asia (preferably the Philippines, Sri Lanka, or the Maldives) for 2 weeks? Thanks so much for your time and for all the great content you produce!
Please email us for instructions to submit this as a video question for it to be addressed on the show. Thank you!
Thanks for the info + video!
You bet! Thank you for watching!
I would like to hear your thoughts on cash back cards
Thank you for commenting! We'll add it to the list.
Keeper Cards - Affinity Federal Credit Union Cash Rewards Visa Signature Card (for 5% Back at Amazon) Chase Sapphire Preferred Card Capital One Venture Card (If the annual fee didn’t increase by $75) American Express Gold Card (If the annual fee wasn’t so high) American Express Platinum Card
Great list! We love all the credit union cash back cards that are coming out in the comments today!
Would love to see a bonus episode (or full episode) on AA. Please share any travel hacks for getting AA status, racking up points, and travel reward sweet spots for booking business class flights with AA miles. Thanks for sharing your expertise with the community!
Thank you for your suggestion. We'll add it to the list!
That Wyndham Business Earner isn't bad, I just used up 135k since you get 10% off of points and spent 5 days at an adult all inclusive in Mexico. If you're gassing for 8x per $1, it was about 14-15% back per dollar spent on gas. It was a pretty good redemption. Also, the Caesars match is good, since you get a $100 celebration dinner each year, no resort fees, free parking, and you can go to Atlantis for 3/4 nights/year.
Great redemption to use your Wyndham points for an all inclusive in Mexico! What a deal, especially with the 10% off! Nicely done. What's your favorite place to use your $100 celebration dinner? Is the Bacchanal Buffet still a high value option?
Keeper Cards Redstone Signature Visa. Amex Blue Cash Everyday Card, Pentagon Federal Pathfinder Card, Navy Federal Signature Flagship Visa and Amazon Prime Visa
Wow! What a great list of cards we don't hear about at all. Please let us know in which scenarios you use each of these cards!
USBAR 1.5CPP on points doesn’t need to be through their portal, paying domestic travel directly would work too! Perfect for award fees/car rental/ride share/entry fee etc and no need to deal with the hassle when flights go south as you booked direct! Better than 35% AMEX rebate or 1.5 CPP sapphire reserved in my opinion… 😊
It is a great deal and fantastic point about booking direct and not having the third party hassle! Do you think you can earn US Bank points as fast as you can earn Amex points? Please let us know if you value them more than the other bank points. We would love to know!
@@LetsGetToThePoints we only open keeper cards and the MR earning cards except BBP are difficult to justify. in that sense, USBAR points are easier to accumulate than AMEX due to acceptance of visa and mobile wallet …
Thank you for your perspective. We love hearing from our audience!
@LetsGetToThePoints USBAR is warehouse club shopping card. If you do in-person MS then it isn't too difficult to earn more. Also, the priority pass works at restaurants.
We love how this is one of those rare cards with PP restaurants.
Although I have several premium cards with amazing benefits, I am in alignment with the cards Mitch mentioned. No annual fees and solid point earners
🙌 No annual fee cards are no brainers to keep open year after year!
TOTALLY relate on the Amazon card. Its never in my wallet, but that 5% surprisingly adds up quickly.
We definitely can't sleep on 5%!
Tell me all about the cash back!
We'll add it to the list. Thank you!
My wins and losses this week: Got denied for the Citi AA platinum card 😢 but got approved for the Barclays AAviator and the Hawaiian Airlines card ( Alaska miles, maybe?? *wink-wink* ) on the same day 😊 Also, they both have one-purchase requirements for the miles 😊 Oh and I'd love an episode on Cashback cards. Could you also do one on buying groups, especially for beginners?
Hi Prethive. NICE strategy with getting both Barclays cards!!! Let's hope this deal gets done soon and has the outcome we all want! Great show ideas. Thank you for your input!
Surprised you guys didn't mention Hilton Inspire as a keep card. The best hotel IMO
Hello. Do you mean the Hilton ASPIRE? Serena mentioned it as one of her keeper cards!
It is also on the hotel keeper card list we towards the end of the segment. 😊
@@LetsGetToThePoints I must missed it. It should be on the top of the list!
@@LetsGetToThePoints nah, @bradxiao meant Inspire, that card INSPIRES us all to travel.
Haha! Touché! Hilton/Amex should've trademarked that!
Do you know of any point earning 2x Mastercard? Is Citi double cash one of them?
Hi! Citi Double Cash is a great Mastercard option for earning 2x on everything and no cap...which is the best part.
We want an episode on cash back cards that can be potentially combined with another point earning card for airline and hotel redemption. For example, citi double cash to be paired with Citi Strata card or CFU to be paired with CSP/CSR/CIBPreferred.
Great idea! Thank you for the comment. We'll add it to the list.
Are sapphire reserve Instacart credits being discontinued after July 2024?
Yeah, but I believe they have doordash credits now. I have the sapphire preferred and get $10 a month. I think the reserve gets you more back.
Sadly, it seems so.
When you transfer points to BA. Does it expire? Also, on my BA account it says Tier points collection year ends Nov 8, 2024 and Card Expiry Dec 31, 2024. I don’t have a BA credit card.
Hi! BA points expire after 36 months of inactivity but it's very easy to extend the expiration. We're not sure why those dates show up on your account. It may have to do with earning status.
I was just telling my mom about the spa! Do you know if minors are allowed to get manicures? Thank you for posting!!
Great question! We don’t know the answer as unfortunately they don’t allow guests anymore into their lounge (unless we spend a lot on the card). So we can’t test it. Please let us know if you find out!
Very creative you guys!! I love it and can’t stop laughing.
Thanks so much for laughing with us!
Great info!
Glad it was helpful!
👍🤝😄
🤝👍😊
Love your show! Just one question, how do you handle all the CC after you received the bonus, pay annual fees year after year?
Good question! Please watch Episode 17's Ask Us segment for our thought process on downgrading, cancelling, etc. Please also stay tuned for next Friday's episode when we talk about this more during our Keeper Card episode.
High fives on home school! Because I do not have that patience LOL. I agree with you all that the world is the best classroom. Congrats Lucas & Fam!
It’s takes incredible people like Lucas and his wife to be able to handle home schooling!
Wait...can we the blanket too? haha I wanted one
Discreetly. 🤫
Haha we have a 50 min layover in ORD (domestic flight), and I am not mad about it after looking at the available lounges…
Hahaha! Definitely not the place to have an intentionally long layover!
Wonderful! Thanks again. I really appreciate the pace of the presentation. I can understand better.
Glad it was helpful! Sometimes we think we talk too slow. Thank you for reinforcing our need to slow down ! ❤️
Great show guys! My questions are do you guys keep track of your spend when you are working on a sign-up bonus? Somewhere along the way I heard that you should keep track of your spend and not rely on the card’s calculation (which I don’t do). Also @nicole I listened to your explanation on how to calculate how many points to transfer for a transfer bonus several times and I still don’t get it. 🤦🏾♀️
Thank you for watching! Calculation example: if Amex has a 30% transfer bonus to British Airways, and the award ticket will cost 70k Avios, you would divide 70k by 1.30: 70,000/1.30 = 54,000 miles needed to transfer. If the bonus is 25%, you would divide by 1.25. Let us know if this makes sense!
Also, please submit a video question for us and we will each answer the question about tracking our spend! 😊
@@LetsGetToThePoints talk about speedy service!!! Sheesh you guys are good! Thank you!!!!
Send us an email and we can send you instructions to submit a video question!
Enjoyed your video. You guys are great! Each and every one of you. Look forward to future videos like this.
🥰Thank you so much! We appreciate your kind words. Let us know if you have any topic ideas or questions!
This was great, I am fairly new. It’s harder for single people to meet minimum spend. I did manage it for my Sapphire card. I had my capital one card for years, so I cannot recall if I even had one. Since I have Chase, Capital One, and Bilt, I think I am good with a base to start accumulating points. I do also have an AA card, and got my 60K points many years ago. The transfer partners that I found out about a few months ago is a game changer for me. I am very excited about saving money next year when I start traveling again.
We are excited for you! Also, Capital One has a pre approval tool that lets you check what you would be approved for, that might be a way to see what you could get with Capital One if you are interested in a card from them!
@@LetsGetToThePoints I have a capital one card. Is there another card that you meant?
There are multiple Venture cards that we find useful. You can google the pre-approval tool to see which cards give you pre-approval. Then if you want to apply, please use our links in the show notes. We greatly appreciate it!
Learning so much👏🏼👏🏼
Fantastic! That’s why we make these videos! Thank you for commenting.
Just shared this episode! I wish I got in the Aeroplan family pooling before they suspended it. Would be quite helpful. Hopefully it’ll come soon again.
Hi Monkey Family! Thank you for sharing our video! We really appreciate it. We hope the Aeroplan family pooling comes back soon too!
Question Do you need an account with all 3 alliances? So if I wanted to transfer my chase points to a sky team alliance partner do I need an account with Delta?
You don’t need one unless you are transferring to Delta. Although, it is free to set up a loyalty account with all the airlines.
Capital one lets you transfer points in increments of 100, instead of 1,000. I just did a transfer to Avianca a couple weeks ago.
Great datapoint. Thank you, Lisa Bonita!
1. Chase Sapphire Reserve 2. Capital One Venture X 3. Citi Strata Premier
That’s a great 3 card combo!
