How Many Credit Cards Do You Have?

[420seriouscat69]

WOW! That's awesome. Let me think about it. I'm not a huge spender, so $3K in 3 months might be tough, but it's definitely doable. I pay it off after every purchase anyways. I should probably start this in August when I move in with Ms. Wacky and lose half my bills. 

$3k means dollars, not points, right? Asking for mocat!

[steve dave]

fanman said he has 30k SW points, not 3k

yeah, I meant just from this card. so he'd then have 73k SW points (+5k if he added an authorized user) if he decided to transfer all the points to SW.

yeah, you spend $3k on it in the first three months you have the card and you get the 40k bonus points (plus 3k points for the $3k you spent on the card) (plus another 5k points if you have an authorized user get their own card and make one purchase with it).

You should probably start before you move since you lose half your bills.

Also, one thing that I don't think gets enough play here is using the Chase Freedom along with the Sapphire Preferred and combining the points in the Sapphire account. I've been 5xing the crap out of restaurants this quarter on the freedom.

this is a good tip. I still don't have the freedom but should get it. I've been using a CSP/Ink combo for everything but that's just because I've been lazy lately.

seems like a good idea. does the Freedom have rotating categories for getting 5x or whatever?

The bonus is now up to 20k so you may want to jump on that.

Yeah, right now it's like restaurants and something, next quarter it's gas stations and something, last quarter it's amazon and something. Last Christmas I was churning other cards but this year I'll probably amazon the eff out of some points.

Also the freedom is no fee so there's no reason not to have it around.

yes, consider myself and mrs. dave both freedom'd. do you have a referral link for this? Go to https://www.chasereferafriend.com/ and see if it lets you.

[steve dave]

everyone be aware that you have to have a CSP or Ink along with the Freedom in order to get UR points instead of just cash back.

mich, I could pay our (her place) rent for 3 months (starting in august) on my card and hit that 3K and pay it off as soon as I get paid. That work, right? My rent right now is way less than what she pays.

Guys remember Mikeyis4dacats tip about using Amazon payments to generate fake spend.

[420seriouscat69]

Day just keeps getting better. I was suppose to move out of my place at the end of July. I got a call today from the property manager asking if I could be out by July 15th? She said if I did, she wouldn't charge me for July and give me $400 dollars in cash so the new tenant could move in. Bring on the new CC!
