Is the chase sapphire reserve worth the second year fee of $450? You still get $300 travel credit but obviously no sign on bonus I think there was a points guy article on it but can’t find it. Thanks!

AC1 I thought we might see a boosted bonus in the 75k ballpark but it doesn’t look like it will happen. Chase is overcorrecting for the mass signups from the initial release imo

Probably a long shot, but if you call them, any chance fee would be waived ?

Anyone know if 100k points is ever coming back? I was over 5/24 at that time

AC1, I think most of us believe it's unlikely that'll ever come back

For retention bonus or offer, you have to call before the annual fee hits otherwise you lose major leverage. Unlikely they will waive full fee but perhaps you will get a partial waive or spend bonus.

I would advise checking to see if annual fee can be prorated and using up the 300$ credit first and then cancelling if you do the math and figure out the card is not worth keeping.

^ the prorated request is far too complex and cumbersome for a juggernaut like JP

I'm going to accept an offer that's 150k+🎉 I'm a single filer, no kids. I'll be able to max out: 401k, HSA, but from my understanding, I will not qualify to utilize IRA?

But what about mega-backdoor Roth IRA? I'll admit, I still need to read more on it.

Just curious what investment vehicles you're using to get to FIRE.
