^I love how forum-goers have a knack of correcting people. I stand corrected. Like I said, I'm not American. It'd be nice to get the benefit of the doubt though. I mean come on - do people really...

I have no intention to step in your arguments, but the definition of return ticket you quoted is a little problematic:

I doubt, since I've already had 3 chase credit cards. When I asked Chase if I could change one of my card to another several years ago, I was told to just apply a new one. I don't know if they've...

So we decided on the Chase Sapphire Preferred. My fiance already has 3 Chase cards, and she doesn't use one of them at all and she would really prefer to not have a fourth. I understand that having...

I think this probably sounds like a huge rookie question, but I'm going to do it anyways. Can we apply for the card with both of our names on the card and get two copies of the same card?

I'm thankful there are people who see airline miles as a negative. People who think airline miles are bogus and/or others who stay in CC debt are the ones floating my otherwise very expensive air...

I really don't get why these people go out of their way to bash frequent flyer miles. If you can't find a use for you, too bad!
Like I said, I've saved more than $400 because I was using frequent...

Only reason you got those miles was exceptional new cc sign-up deals. Looks like maybe 6-8 new cc based on total miles accumulated. Take out the sign-up offer and you are talking about 12-24K miles...

OP, first off, congrats on your pending nuptials.
You might want to look into the new US Bank Cash+ rewards card. Although it's barely a month old, it seems like being able to set your two 5%...

Glad to hear you were able to benefit from a frequent flyer program. Your situation, however, was anecdotal and an anomaly. It was, unfortunately, the exception, not the rule.

This is said out of ignorance. I cashed in 550k miles for $30k in airfare on $12000 in spending vs the $360 cash back on 3% cash back

It's all about what's important to you, usually. For people who may travel to destinations where ticket prices are rarely on sale, the airline mile would easily eclipse 2% cashback in value.
2%...

Good point. Long-term, you can always cancel it. It does hurt your credit score a little. I don't know my credit score but I'm confident my credit score is pretty high. Personally, I don't need my...

I brought up the annual fee thing because a lot of people don't play the credit card game where they cycle through credit cards. So although someone can get an additional $200 signup bonus over the...

I agree. Higher spending but for a married couple, I feel that $3,000 is reasonable. $95 annual fee but you can always cancel if you're not keeping the card beyond the first year.
Any good...

The signup bonus ($500) is a lot higher, but there is also a $95 fee the 2nd year and beyond + higher spending to get this $500.
A 2% card does exactly the same thing, except it works at more...

Airline miles aren't a fool's gold. In fact, sometimes they're more valuable than the cashbacks that you get.
You can't just trust these websites and not do your own homework. It really depends on...
