Back to playing with credit cards
« on: February 17, 2022, 01:11:56 PM »
I want to play with credit cards after years of not doing so.

I currently have the following cards: 
Chase: Freedom, sapphire preferred, and Ink Plus
Citi: AAdvantage Platinum, Aadvantage Gold, Thank you preferred
Amex: Bonvoy (from the starwood days)

My two considerations are the Chase 5/24 rule (all my current cards are older than that) and current promotions.

I spend about 5k per month on my cards.

What cards would you recommend? Am i best off choosing 5 chase cards to maximize my chase value, before working on other banks?

Risk is opportunity

How about Ink Cash and Unlimited?
Only on DDF does 24/6 mean 24/5/half/half

Thanks. I reviewed the first page and final three before the thread went dark in 2021. I dont think it answers my question above.
