What should be my next card?
« on: January 11, 2018, 02:37:53 PM »
Hi,


Currently I have Chase SR, Freedom Unlimited, Freedom, Amex SPG's (Regular & Business).
What should be my next one?

I'm not a heavy frequent traveler (2-3 times a year).

Thanks in advance for you recommendations

Chase ink preferred if you're into sign-up bonuses. Chase ink cash if you're into MS.

Or try hotel cards that give free nights

Thank you all for your comments.

I just got in the mail, an AMEX offer for the business platinum of 150k point (after spending $10k in first 3 months and additional $10K the following 3 months).

Do you think it's worth the $450 fee?

I don't know - don't have the experience with MR. Most of my points are with Chase UR.

At .01 (a ridiculous one cent per point just for the sake of argument) 170k is $1700. If you take a very conservative .015 (1.5 cents) a point, you are talking $2,550 for 170k points.

Of course it’s worth it, & that’s besides for all the card benefits.

No good reason? How about 6% cash back at grocery?

If you don't spend that much in grocery, it may be "no good reason" but 2k a year in grocery (after opportunity cost) isn't hard, and covers the AF.
