Wow, this one is definitely going to replace my Sapphire Preferred which I'll convert to one of the Freedom cards. I'm leaning toward Unlimited because I already have Discover it, but as long as the 5% categories never overlap maybe it's worth the risk to go regular Freedom. But I'm tempted by the 1.5% on everything (since, like a good mustachian I spend very little anyway, and 5% won't make me spend what I didn't plan to spend anyway).
During the last 12 months I spent about $50k in reimbursed travel expenses for work so this card is a no brainer. I won't even have to manufacture spend as I have six 5-night trips lined up back to back starting at the end of the month. I get so many miles, hotel points, and rental car points already that I don't even bother to hold on to the UR points, I just get the cashback bonus instead to shove in VTSAX :)
I just applied with instant approval. of course, I was 0/24 so no issues there lol :) They only gave me a $15k limit, so I'll redirect some of the $32k limit from my old card to the Reserve card for my work travel...not that I've ever had a balance that high haha.
