All these cards try to hustle you with free shit. If it’s “free” there should be a red flag in your mind.
Best thing is to have 1 card to consolidate all spend and max point/rewards.
1 back up card linked to checking.
Don’t get sucked into hype.

Can you game the system and come out ahead with points/miles/rewards? Sort of, but it’s a game, and it’s offset by the time it takes to play and what your time is worth.

Ohhh, the card not the status 🤦🏾‍♀️ lol

Lol K1. It’s not even close to being offset by the time necessary, light churning is an easy and profitable hobby

Is this a real question? Of course not. If you travel a lot you get it free, and if not you're paying $1000 for something you won't use much. Besides, gold doesn't get you shit

Sky boarding is really nice. Upgrades are nice. How many total pts do you have? Planning on using them for anything else?

Not unless those are MQMs

No MQMs :(

Depends on your total stash, redemptions you may have in mind, whether you want to churn a card right now, etc. Got the same offer but not gonna burn a 5/24 slot on it

I'd pass on points that don't include at least some MQMs - but I also have >900K SkyMiles, so...

A2 take a trip....

What are mqms.

Qualifying Miles for status.

A1, misread the same way, obviously

I ask because I’ve let my credit spending get a bit lax since moving and adopting a puppy recently, so I haven’t been paying them off in full every month like I used to (though still well above the minimum payment, and keeping utilization at 30% or under). It got me thinking about how many people adhere to this advice.
