If anyone knows a better way I'm all ears! (Besides for selling them I mean)
Workflowy. You won't know what you're missing until you try it.

I switched to a cashback card for most of my spending going forward. I'd just like to redeem my points for cash if there was a good way.

Which card you have?

I have a Chase Ink account that was closed due to inactivity. There is a very significant UR balance that still shows when I log in. Is there a way to have those transferred to one of my personal cards? Any other suggestions? (As a business card, the Ink had its own login.)
I am sometimes accused of overthinking things. I am still mulling over whether that accusation has merit.

You should be able to transfer to personal. Do it fast within 30 days

Thanks! I was able to transfer. I did not see that option earlier.

Do my thank you points accounts need to be combined in order for me to get the 10% back on the citi rewards? Or as long as it is in my citi account I can still get it when I use my premier or prestige to transfer to airline?
I assume the first option but figured I would ask

Whats the best way to earn points/cashback when purchasing ikea items, or buying ikea gift cards from cashstar?

Cashapp debit card (with a boost like bitcoin), double cashback card, amex blue cash business? anything out there that will earn more than %2 on a purchase like this?

The only card I can think of is the US Bank Cash Plus card. It allows you to choose your bonus 5% category from a select list which includes furniture stores. The only drawback is that it's capped at $2000 per quarter, though if you spend more than that in Ikea it might make sense to get the Ikea CC.

There are other cards that allow you to choose your own categories but I can't confirm that they include furniture stores as a choice.

Also, if you don't mind buying your gift cards elsewhere, you can probably get them in office supply stores with an Ink Cash card.

I believe the category that you can choose from changes each quarter

If I sign up and get approved for an amex card today is there a way to spend the airline credit before the end of the year? (without the actual card)

Also the gold is no longer advertising the credit, are they still giving it on new cards?

I remember seeing this:

https://www.google.com/amp/s/thepointsguy.com/news/amex-gold-airline-fee-credit-2022/amp/

It says its not going away until 2022 so its odd that current new applicants won't get it. But if it doesn't say that you will get I would assume that you won't.

Wondering if amex will allow you to set up a virtual account number before u get the card. Call and ask. Then u can ask them to select an airline, and use the card.

If you have the gold card, u can login and see on the benefits page if u get the airline credit

Is the virtual card program for all amex cards?
