I’m engaged and want to take advantage of a few welcome offers as we rack up spend for the wedding. I have a CSR, my fiance has a CSP, and we both WFH. Sharing my proposed plan below

-Open AMEX gold for all catering services (most of our day to day spend is groceries/dining)
-Open Capital one venture for all non-related food expenses (band, venue, etc.)
-Open Marriott card (tbd which) for 🍯 🌙 and hotel stays for other weddings
-Downgrade my CSR to Chase Freedom

Would appreciate any feedback!

Maximize the chase 5/24 first, so open the chase Marriott card, then Amex, Capital one

I would recommend staying in the Chase family and shift over to the Ink cards. No fees and you get referral bonuses referring each other back and forth. 40k referral bonus + 75k for hitting spend. $0 annual fees.

Doing this now with my fiancé, on track for 500k+ UR points by wedding time. Happy to discuss further

D1 is right. I have a ton Chase business cards as a "sole proprietor." The fastest way to accumulate points is to churn through sign up bonuses. Trying to game point multipliers is too slow. Get those SUBs to get 1 million+ points in a year.

I would open the amex hilton aspire over marriott. Diamond status and af outweighed by benefits. Their other lower tier cards also have an offer for free nights plus heavy points too
