In all seriousness though, it’s the best card I’ve had especially if you travel.

Gas isn’t considered travel

like

@ CI1 - In combination, use:
CSR for dining/travel (3%)
Freedom for quarterly categories (5%)
Freedom unlimited for all else (1.5%)

like

ALSO: Points from Freedom/Unlimited can be transferred to CSR which has a higher redemption bonus.

like

DC1: 50% greater value! So effectively you get 4.5% on CSR, 7.5% on Freedom, and 2.25% on Freedom Unlimited when you redeem points for travel.

If you are going to use the benefits sure why not.

Take it

Want a referral code? It’s the best card. Basically 1.5% on everything if you travel. 4.5% on travel (dining, parking, Uber, airfare).Sign on bonus covers the annual fee for first few years (50,000 pts worth $750). Also, I had a friend that got the reserve bonus, then a few months later got the preferred (points are only worth 1.25x on preferred) and transferred the points to the reserve (pts arbitrage)

Thanks all! How does gas get categorized in terms of points? Is it considered travel so 3x?

No

Not worth it unless you get all 3 Chase cards.

@TM1 Do you mean CSR, Chase Freedom and Freedom Unlimited?

DC1: Yep

TM1: what is benefit of having all 3?

First in my family to go to college, parent is abusive so I have no safety net & had no help. Worked full time all through college & still graduated with 30k in debt. I’ve been paying really aggressively on my private loans since the federal pause and I checked today and I now only owe 2800 in private. Pretty sure I owe 11k in fed & I qualify for the 10k. Honestly trying not to cry from sheer relief.

I got a decent deal on a small 1 bed in a luxury building (hell’s kitc). Should I do a 12 month lease or 24m?

Got the rent negotiated to under 3k + free amenities for a year (gym, pool, etc.). I’m afraid rent will atleast go back to the original price (+5%) and then some. The building has some sort of rent control but that’s predicted to go away in less than 1 year as per the lease. The legal rent limit is way higher.

Would love some perspective on renewal experience after 1 year. TIA.
