Episode Description

This week Chase & United launched all new revamped credit cards top to bottom. In addition to increased welcome offers they raised the prices on their annual fees and added a bunch of other perks. Should you pick up one of the new Chase United cards and which offer is best? Plus how should you deal with the new "coupons" they offer.   In other news Southwest's new pricing is coming online and the news isn't good. With fare buckets and lower overall values it isn't the best move but there are some sweet spots you should know about.
