The easiest 120k points you'll ever earn + how to earn 100k points from food.
...
I took last week off because of 1) ‘Merica and 2) being in rural Maryland.
I’m back, and wow, I’ve got a lot of value to share this morning.
Make this the newsletter you finally read all the way through.
Let’s get right into the wild world of award travel!
Fat stacks of Chase points.
Hot off the press, we have a record-high offer from one of Chase’s business cards.
Right now, the Ink Business Preferred® Credit Card is offering 120,000 bonus points after spending $8,000 in the first three months of opening the card.
Insane.
The annual fee is only $95.
This is 20% higher than the previous highest offer.
But you don’t have a business?
No problem - check out this article from the 2nd best newsletter in travel.
TL;DR:
The point: anyone can get a business card.
The hard part is meeting the minimum spend…
My hack: pay your taxes with a business card to meet minium spend - that’s what I did!
You don’t want to miss out on this offer. It’s truly *historic*.
Some ideas on how to use 120,000 Chase Ultimate Rewards points:
Fly roundtrip to Europe in business class.
Stay 6 nights at an all-inclusive Hyatt property.
Take the family anywhere in the U.S. and pack *all* the bags with Southwest.
Book 24 one-way flights around Japan on ANA.
Fly roundtrip to Dubai on one of the best airlines in the world.
Needless to say, you can get a ton of value out of 120k points.
Get this card, friend.
A 2-card system for families to earn max points.
I get asked this almost every day:
“What is the best card to get?”
Well, it depends.
But lately, I’ve found people are quite drawn to the cards that earn them more per dollar spent.
And I get that - as good as Chase points are, it’s super annoying to only earn 1x point per dollar on most things.
So I want to present a new strategy.
One where you earn 2-4x on *EVERY* purchase.
The system:
This card to earn 2x on every purchase.
$95 annual fee.
75,000 point bonus.
Great transfer partners.
+ This card to earn 4x POINTs PER DOLLAR at restaurants & grocery stores.
$250 annual fee (I know, this sucks).
60,000 point bonus.
Top-tier transfer partners.
Some of you could be earning 100k point/year just from food with this card.
If you’re brand new & looking for two cards to supercharge your points journey, you really can’t go wrong here.
The only thing standing between you & incredible vacations is, well, you.
I’m here to help.
I simplify points & miles and help you save thousands on travel.
