124. Midweek Mini- The NEW CHASE BANK ERA: How to Maximize and Prioritize Your Earning Categories OVER Sign Up Bonuses As Things Continue to Shift
Today on our Midweek Mini we are taking a small break from summer road trips and we’re diving into the ever-evolving world of points and miles—and how we’re adjusting our strategy to keep up. With recent changes to Chase’s sign-up bonus language, we’re starting to shift our focus away from chasing (pun intended) welcome offers and instead doubling down on everyday spending and earning categories.
We talk about how the Chase Freedom Flex has become a staple in our wallets, especially when we can line up our real-life spending with the rotating categories. This quarter, Instacart and gas are big wins, and we break down how we’re using those to rack up serious points. We also share how tools like Card Pointers help us stay organized and make sure we’re always using the best card for every purchase.
If you’ve ever felt like the points and miles landscape is changing faster than you can keep up, you’re not alone. We’re in it with you—and in this episode, we walk through the exact strategies we’re using to keep earning more and spending less. Because even without a big sign-up bonus, there are still plenty of ways to keep your travel dreams alive.
