Viewer questions
- Question for you guys to consider for future. How do you evolve your CC strategy over time? Maybe you realize you picked the wrong ecosystem or partners from the get go, maybe you started cash back but want to go travel or vise versa. Maybe life changes and therefore amount/ type of spend or location (thus partners) change. How do you reassess this on an ongoing basis and how do you make a pivot? Thanks for considering, y'all are great! - @Double_Double_Animal_Fries

-Welcome Offers are the most effective “Return on spend” but there are only so many and only so many pertinent to those who are entrenched with their partners; besides stacks, how else can people maximize their daily spend without making it too much of “job?”
Lani
- Extended Sign-Up-Bonuses: Your thoughts? Chase Freedom Unlimited & Flex recently had 12 month offers/options (extra 1.5X on everything for 12 months up to $20K, Double points no cap after 12 months, 5x on gas/grocery for 12 months. etc.) We’re starting to see this more and more, Ink Business 3 months+3 months, Amex+Resy 6 months with 3 months of 10x dining. Is this the new normal? Do you like it? Thoughts/Opinions?
Tariq
- What are the benefits (if there are any) of being a travel free agent?
RJ
- Are credit card points and miles a sort of spontaneity cheat code?
•One of the underrated benefits of being in the credit card “game” is the ability to get a lot of value but it’s also the ability to do things spontaneously. Credit card points/miles allow you to text a friend and say “you wanna do X” and move points/miles to cover the trip or part of it. Or if paying cash do so effectively.
