We keep most of our hotel-branded credit cards year after year.

We hate to be the bearer of bad news, but here goes. There have been American Express Platinum Card changes. 😩 Previously, you could pay $175 to add up to three authorized users to your account.

Without a doubt, if you can get a business credit card, you will get more credit card points and miles for travel.

We talk a lot about Chase business cards, particularly the Ink Business Cash (our favorite) and the Ink Business Unlimited. However, we haven’t talked much about the Chase Ink Business Preferred.

IHG often has great signup bonuses on their cards, but they fall “under the radar” compared to the other hotel brands. They have long been my second favorite brand (after Hyatt, of course).
