Despite what the casual credit card community might say, the best keeper premium card (for simplicity’s sake let’s only include cards with $450-$500 annual fee) isn’t Chase Sapphire Reserve.

Altitude Reserve (AR) is one of those gems that don’t get talked about. A blogger won’t talk about it because affiliates don’t pay for this card and a casual churner won’t talk about it because bloggers aren’t talking about it. The good portion of the remaining churning community get scared…
Recently, I went on an App-o-Rama and ended up with 4/4 denials. While someone nearing 50/24 (at the time of this app-o-rama) is likely to see frequent denials, it wouldn’t be wrong to say the frequency of future denials can be decreased by studying current denials. In this post I’ll…
We all know that FlexPoints (FP) can be used to pay off annual fee. If you want to pay off $49 AF on FlexPerks Travel Rewards Visa Signature card then you can do so with 3,500 FlexPoints thus yielding you 1.4 cpp. Likewise, if you want to pay off $85…
FlexPerks is one of those cards that loves giving out freebies. In my FlexPoints: guaranteed 2 cpp with Southwest post I mentioned that you can get 500 FlexPoints for participating in their photo contest. I have also posted about 1500 FlexPoints Offer for Setting up an Automatic Payment and [Targeted] 250 FlexPoints for First E-Rewards…
