If you're not at 5/24 round out your Chase roster with a Freedom. Might have to get an Unlimited 1st and then PC, not sure if it's currently available. Also PC your CSR to Sapphire, then to Unlimited, and get a CSP for the sign up if it's been long enough for you to be eligible. Then PC it back to CSR for the better earning and redemptions once you get the sign up bonus, or wait again and downgrade > get a new CSR.

If you ARE at 5/24 and are keeping your Amex pts through P-dubs, get an Amex Platinum or PRG to increase earning there.

How often will you be travelling? Which airline hub are you next to Delta/United/AA/SW? Does your company have brand specific hotel requirements or are you free to choose?

RSM1 - I travel for work every week, and I frequently take domestic and international flights. I live in dc so I’m near DCA (not sure what type of hub it is), and no specific brand requirements

Hey all newbie here. My husband and I are living that Double Income No Kid life wanting to (Financial Independence) Retire Early.

Both in tech in the Bay Area. I’m in Arizona visiting family and am thinking of an investment property. Does anyone have a book/course/video that they personally have used and recommend for flipping houses? I want to do some research there’s a lot of content out there.
Thanks a bunch!
