Chase Sapphire Reserve

Chase Sapphire Reserve.
$450 annual fee is offset by $300 yearly travel credit and free global entry/TSA application. (Obviously on top of the 100k points promo which has about a $1500 redemption value)

Pro tip: If you time your card application right, you can get $600 worth of travel credit before you have to pay your $450 annual fee. (Ex. Sign up in march. You have $300 travel credit for 2017 and then receive another $300 credit at the beginning of 2018 before your annual fee comes due.)

Pro tip 2: Uber Eats qualifies for the travel credit. So if all else fails, you can eat $300 worth of free food.

Really depends on how much you spend, what you spend it on and if you pay off your balance monthly. For travel, Chase Sapphire Reserve is the hot card right now. Amazing perks but comes with a hefty $450 annual fee though. You can drop some of the perks and go with preferred version with $0 annual fee. Do some math first to check your break even on that $450. It's not simple when you factor in the different perks. For cash back, best card is probably the Citi double which in effect gives you 2% on everything. Especially good if you pay your balance monthly. Best rate out there. I would have one but I already get 1.5 and don't want to hurt my credit score.

Agreed, Mr. Franklin. The break even analysis is really if you want to keep the card after year one. The perks to start are amazing. Definitely the best in the business. However going forward, if you're not spending money on travel, your paying $450 for $300 worth of travel/free food.

My partner and I bought our home back in 2020. We got a good deal, low rate. But we want to move into a more spacious SFH. However, as we all know this market is crazy. Everything we want costs $620k+ and bc of rates it makes our mortgage estimates $3500+. We are currently paying $2k. And it looks we need to sell the house simultaneously as look for a new one or our contingency isn’t as attractive. I know it’s based on personal circumstances. But what would you do? - not move, sell and buy?

Hello Fishes,

I have got my L2 Dependent Visa stamped for the US through the Wife's organization and she has booked the tickets for the both of us in the next weekend. I am currently unallocated in TCS and seeking projects in the same US location as my Wife. Can I travel to the US just like that and then continue my search within TCS from there or do I need any approvals to even fly in the first place?

I am worried because of the time crunch and will be glad to hear some points on this.
