Following a few relatively lackluster bonus category quarters (unless you drive...a lot), the Chase Freedom Card’s Q2 category is one that should benefit just about everyone. As reported by The Points Guy, you’ll earn 5% back with your Freedom card at home improvement and grocery stores, up to a maximum of $1,500 in…
There are travel rewards credit cards that promise lucrative returns if you can, say, figure out the finer points of booking fifth freedom flights over the phone with Singapore Airlines customer service, or learn the rules about when British Airways fuel surcharges apply to partner flight redemptions.
If you’re overwhelmed by labyrinthine matrices of transfer partners, airline statuses, and annual fees, a cash back credit card might be right for you. While they don’t offer the same lucrative returns as premium travel rewards cards, they can be a lot simpler to use, while still offering a ton of value despite not…
Following a brief, government shutdown-imposed delay in certification, Southwest finally put its long-awaited Hawaii flights up for sale this morning, and prices start at less than a ticket to a luau.

If you don’t travel enough to rack up (and fully enjoy) hotel status, hotel-branded credit cards don’t usually make as much sense as more flexible travel rewards cards like the Chase Sapphire Preferred.
