I am always excited about free money and that is no different with the Ibotta app. You’re earning cash-back for groceries that you were planning to purchase anyway. In addition, it may give you a way to try new products for much less. It is nice to cash in that $20 every now and then. Overall, I have earned almost $220 cash back with Ibotta without doing any extra work other than a couple clicks and a receipt picture.
Now might be the time to add an American Express Platinum Card to your wallet, specifically a Charles Schwab Platinum. Let me explain why I added this card to my wallet back in late May and why you may want to do the same.
DO$H is a mobile application that links to your existing debit and credit cards and earns you cash back. Some offers may be a percentage and some may have a fixed amount. As with other apps, there is a $25 minimum to cash out.
Chase’s new “Pay Yourself Back” promotion remains available for Chase Sapphire Reserve® and Chase Sapphire Preferred® Card cardholders for another 3 months. During this time, it is worth it to scrutinize your redemption activity and determine how you typically use your Ultimate Rewards.
I am always excited about free money and that is no different with the Pei app. You’re earning cash-back for merchants that you were planning purchases anyway, usually at a 1% return. It’s nice to cash in that $25 a few times a year or even once a year. Combined with other apps, you can easily earn hundreds of dollars a year!!!
Oftentimes, IHG is the forgotten major hotel chain for award travelers. Travelers, especially award travelers, think of Marriott, Hilton, and Hyatt before they consider IHG. This may be a mistake!
Last year, IHG did away with their point break offers and today we see another change from them. While it was mentioned in 2019 that IHG was exploring dynamic points pricing, today they further executed the plan.
Chase had long been at the top of the food chain when it came to desirable credit card products and having a valuable transferable points currency. Ultimate Rewards became known for their ease of use, wealth of transfer partners, and versatility.
It’s really nice to see Chase make changes to the Sapphire cards to make each card more competitive during this time of staying at home and social distancing. While we’re not traveling, you can decide whether you want to use your Ultimate Rewards as cash or whether you want to stockpile them for future travel. Either way, you get tremendous value from these cards. As always, come on over to our Facebook group to discuss these changes in more detail.
We explain how Pay Over Time cards differ from credit cards, and which Amex cards fall under each of those two categories, in light of Amex’s 5-card limit.
We promise to keep things short, sweet, and packed with awesome insights!
