But you lose the protections from users using a credit card. Why not the Amazon card that gets you the same 5% cashback?I think I'll do that.
(Post padding is what some people do to make them look more credible by having a higher post count. Basically, you take multiple posts to say the same thing or do +1s etc. You did the opposite and responded to multiple posts in 1 post)
@Uri
The way it works with chase points is as follows:
Some cards have bonuses in certain categories, such as the Ink Cash in office supply stores or the Freedom in different quarterly ones.
These are no fee cards. However, they can only redeem the points at face value (.01/pt) But you can leave them on the card until you are ready to redeem it. You can then transfer it to a fee card like the sapphire reserve to redeem for 1.5x (.015/pt.) or the preferred for 1.25x. Or you can use the fee cards to transfer them to airline miles where you can sometimes get even better redemptions.
So, in short you don't need to open the fee card until you have close to the target amount of points necessary for the trip you want to take.
Amazon does not earn 5pts., but Staples does so if you buy Amazon gift cards in Staples and load them to your account, you will effectively be getting 5pts. on all Amazon purchases. like he said:
Wow! Look at someone not trying to post pad.
The ink cash only requires getting one card for 5% cashback now, but you can rack up the points and at a later stage get a premium chase card for more value.
But if you don't plan on traveling you should probably just stick with the cashback.
You can always cash the Ink points out at 5% cash. Or save for 10%+ for travel.
The card is a no brainer.
The Ink Cash gives 5% in office supply stores which carry amazon gift cards. A bit more work but if it isn't a big deal for you, try it.
It actually earns 5x UR points if you get one of the premium cards too. In that case it's easily a 10% return.
Also, the discover IT cashback card earns 5% for 1 quarter of the year. The freedom flex usually does too (or 5x UR).
Amex offer... 10 ppd
Sounds like a bit much for
How much spending are you planning on doing? It might pay to get an amazon prime account and go for Amazon's card.
Are you potentially going to want to use it for other things? Something to consider..
How much do you value UR points? Do you travel often? There's no one size fits all IMHO
IINM Amazon also has a 3% back card that doesn't require prime.
If your spending over 5k annually it pays to get prime... (5000 x 2% = 100)
why don't you just have your sister add you as a household member and then you can have your own prime account for free.

https://www.dansdeals.com/credit-cards/get-highest-signup-bonus-ever-no-annual-fee-chase-ink-cash-chase-ink-unlimited-cards/Thanks, but it seems that the Amazon card is better than these because these pay 1-3%. Or am I missing something?
They are not flying blueWhat do you mean? Will they give free refunds for flights between NY and Tel Aviv?
What about Elal's 11:50pm flight from jfk, why did you pick Delta? (just asking)El Al wasn't available for my dates at that price.
I just took the 747-400...it was not a good experience for meWhy is that? Please elaborate.
If you're looking to fly direct you won't find much better than that.Yeah, looks like a new sale. Side question: my sister just booked last week for over $1,000 through a travel agent. Should she try to rebook (i.e., does she stand a chance?)?
