Currently, the Marriott Bonvoy Boundless® Credit Card has a welcome offer of five free nights (up to 50K points per night) after hitting the minimum spending requirement of $5,000 in the first three months.  Right now, it’s available only through referral links.

I know there is a general aversion to paying an annual fee on a credit card. People tend to forget that along with annual fees come some amazing benefits, not to mention those welcome offers you earn after meeting the minimum spending requirements. (Those welcome offers are what enticed us to get the card in […]

Sadly, there have been some changes to the United credit cards. And changes are seldom good news. 😩 Here are some of the top changes to note:    card_name This card has always been great to downgrade to and still get the United Airlines saver award options when you search for award space. Sadly, you […]

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

Here is our review of the card_name, the card we recommend over and over to beginners just starting out with credit card points and miles. It is also a card that we’ll always have in our wallets. We recommend that this be one of the first cards people apply for because of the Chase 5/24 […]

I need to remember to use the $100 credit on the card_name. The card has an annual fee of $199, so that credit brings it down to $99. I’m embarrassed to say that I’ve NEVER used this credit. 🤦‍♀️ (And I’m usually on top of these benefits for most cards.) Are you using your $100 […]

We get a lot of questions from people about when the  card_name or the  card_name will have an elevated welcome offer. While we love to take advantage of elevated welcome offers, we also feel like waiting for one is not the right thing to do in most instances. Here’s why we say, “Don’t wait for […]

The card_name came out with an elevated welcome offer back in August, and I’ve been on a mission to snag this card ever since. It’s marketed as a cash-back card, but if you have another card that earns Venture miles (like the card_name or card_name), you can convert the cash back you earn from the […]

I have had a lot of airline credit cards over the years. Delta, American Airlines, Frontier, Alaska, United, Southwest, Hawaiian Airlines, and more! The ones I always keep open are my United and Alaska Airlines cards. United is the airline I fly the most because Denver International Airport (my home airport) is a United hub. […]

I’ve had discussions with a couple of people recently that made me realize that they are totally NOT taking advantage of their credit card benefits.

Of all the possible chains you can book with points, you’ll get the most value from Hyatt. I will be showing you multiple […]

Have you ever considered flying to a destination but not leaving the airport? Neither had I until the Capital One Lounge opened at DFW. I’d seen the photos and videos online—food, cocktails, showers, Peloton bikes. I needed to go! And I’d have free access with my card_name. I decided to try a Capital One lounge day […]
