Which CC is better for sign-up bonus - Citi Premier 80K points or Chase Aer Lingus/Iberia 100K Avios points?

I churn somewhat regularly and am under 5/24 by 1. I think Citi's points are more valuable but maybe I should knock out another Chase card before I'm at 5/24 again, even though Avios isn't as versatile?

If you have a use for Avios, seems to make sense to grab that first and then apply to premier once you get the chase card.

Agree that the premier offer seems better (or at least I would prefer it)

Citi Premier if you can get approved for it, they're very inquiry sensitive. Generally recommendation is 0/1 inquiries in past 6 months

I didn’t have a problem and generally apply for things regularly (and defimitely had within the past 3-4 months). Definitely possible they pulled a bureau that hadn’t been used.

In any event I think if OP applies relatively quickly, it won’t show.

Thanks both! Did not know about Citi Premier being so inquiry sensitive. Will look more into it 🧐

I'm early in my career, managed to save $30K to invest, and want to get my hands dirty with a rental property without too much risk (e.g. no HML/flipping). It sounds like that's a tall order in the NY/CT area given the prices, not to mention whether I'd be able to get a mortgage on anything below $100K, but I figure I'll give it a shot anyway. Any advice on what you might do in my position? Am I being crazy with this idea?

I have been searching for a travel card for months. I am a young guy who is looking to take advantage of credit and earn points at the same time. Cap One just released an interesting new premium travel card with a lot of seemingly good perks (Venture X). I also looked at the CSP and the Southwest Priority card. My girlfriends family has Southwest and swear by it, with companion pass being the differentiator. I am in the DMV area and have mostly flown Jet Blue or Southwest. Any thoughts on this?
