Chase has 85 or 90K on the Sapphire Preferred right now. I’m above 5/24 (prob 6/24) and was still approved.

Chase pre approval is just a marketing thing. They don't actually check anything. But otherwise, very interesting being at/above 5/24 and nice work! Probably should've downgraded to regular Freedom, but that's just nit picking. CSP is a great card.

If the offer is still around, Chase Sapphire Preferred for 75k+ or Ink Preferred for 120k.

Otherwise, I'm a fan of the Venture X. Maybe they'll bring back the 90k by then, who knows.

Some moving companies either won't accept credit cards or will charge a 2-4% fee, so make sure those points are worth the fee.

Hi everyone! I’m a young professional right out of college getting into investing and personal finance management.

So if anything, I could treat is as income producing source, if not so much an investment that grows significantly.
