6-8. Churn baby churn

like

I don’t. Recommendations vary, but a good rule of thumb is 90 days between applications if you want to maintain good approval odds in the long-run. Even with that, the “new accounts” component on my credit score is not stellar.

I always apply for one around March or April of every year to pay for my income taxes and hit the sign-up bonus minimum spin. I’ll do more if I have large bills that come up beyond that.

I try to get 3. If something big comes up then maybe another.

Each year? My last card was from 2019-ish.

You're in the points bowl. Churning is the main part of the game.

Need a sanity check here.

When I joined my current company, we were on a quarterly bonus structure with guaranteed payouts each quarter. This was, in fact, how the recruiter said he could meet my salary request.

The company just announced we are moving to annual payouts only, with no payments for 2023 until May 2024. There are no raises happening.

This amounts to 12% less money in my pocket in 2023 plus inflation.

Is this standard, or should I be looking for opportunities elsewhere?

Hi fellow fish need some advice.

I'm planning a wedding and wondering if I should apply for new credit cards to maximize on points. If so, wondering what your recommendations are and or if there are new cards out there I haven't heard of yet. For context I probably have another 20k+ in expenses to pay still and my current cards are:

CSP
Marriott Bonvoy Boundless
Citi double cash
Random card (used to be uber)
