What card after Chase Sapphire Reserve and Ink?
« on: September 13, 2018, 06:21:20 PM »
Hey Everyone,

Curious what travel rewards card I should start working on after completing the minimum spends on Chase Sapphire Reserve and Ink?  I was thinking Citi ThankYouŽ Premier Card for 3x points on travel that includes gas?

Thanks

Amex platinum maybe? I think citi has lower standards for approval so you might want to hit the ones a little harder to get first

Are you under 5/24?  Personally and what I'm doing now and before I cut all ties with chase. I'm getting every business card that pays UR points and transferring them over to my Reserve Card to get the 1.5 multiplier.  We run a two person system with my wife playing the game so it adds up.  If you get the Chase Ink Business Cash card plus the Ink Business Unlimited card that would be 100,000 free UR points that you could transferrer  to your Reserve card and be worth $1500 in free travel.  If you are married and do this twice that's $3000.

I would also get the freedom and freedom unlimited.  I also have kept my sapphire reserve and paid the yearly fee last year.  Considering we travel often we always use up the $300 credit making the card fee only $150 dollars.  If using this card on hotel, airfare and restaurants is worth 3 points each at a value of 1.5 cents per point then it would seam that I get 4.5 cents back for every dollar spent.  Compare that to any of the other options which would only give me 2-3 cents worth back.  This means I need to spend $10,000 per year to get back its value from fees.  But that doesn't include the value of using lounges and not needing to prep food for a flight.  Lastly, by having the chase freedom card we get 5 points per dollar spent on some categories every quarter which with the reserve is actually worth 7.5 cents.  Adding all those items up makes holding the chase sapphire reserve worth the expense and worth getting the chase freedom and freedom unlimited cards.
