Marcus is at 2.05%. Hard to beat

Yeah but amex is at 1.9 so much to lose if stick with amex ?

VIO is now 2.25%

What’s VIO ? Also isn’t chase sapphire 60k points worth of like 750$

Ally does 1% on your deposit and then 1.9%... so 2.9% in theory

60000 points can be cashed out for $600, transferred to partner points (southwest for example) or technically worth $750 on chase travel site. The kicker is Chase travel site really stinks; points are best used transferring to partner sites. I would conservatively assume they’re worth the $600 you can immediately cash them out for.

Question for folks with second homes: Considering buying a vacation home but would be primarily for family use. We currently have a primary residence with a mortgage balance of ~640K, so my understanding is I could only deduct the mortgage interest on 110K of the second mortgage to stay under the 750K cap. If I were to buy the second home through an LLC, would that allow me to exceed that 750K since the expenses of the second home would be pass through expenses/income?
