The Basic Set Up. Chase Ultimate Rewards

Prague. Chase Ultimate Rewards Points will take you here for free :)

There are many different credit card companies that offer large bonuses for opening up new credit cards. The list goes on and on. We get lost between American Express and Visa. Everyone has their own favorite for their own reasons. I like Chase. Personally, I have found their point system to be the most efficient and worthwhile. You could choose whatever you decide works for you.

Chase Bank offers so many different types of credit cards. They range from hotel, airlines and even for Disney. But the cards that you want are those that give you "Ultimate Rewards Points." They are the following,

1. Chase Freedom
2. Chase Freedom Unlimited
3. Chase Sapphire Preferred
4. Chase Sapphire Reserve
5. Ink Business Preferred [Business Credit Card]
6. Ink Business Cash [Business Credit Card]

These cards allow you to transfer points between themselves, which is extremely valuable. For the purposes of this page,


This is what I would recommend.

 You could open these cards in any order. Just wait on the Sapphire Reserve until you are ready to go on a major trip. 

 January

 Apply for the Chase Freedom.
Chase Freedom Offers 15,000 bonus after you spend $1000 in 3 months.
It has no annual fee. [Keep this card with you forever.]


Spend the next 3-4 months just using Freedom to collect points.

Apply for the Chase Freedom! [This is my personal referral code. I get a referral bonus]


May
Apply for the Chase Sapphire Preferred [Now you could only choose the Preferred or the Reserve]

Chase Sapphire Preferred Offers 50,000 bonus points after you spend $4000 in 3 months.
$95 annual fee starting 2nd year. First year is free.
After 1 year, transfer the points to Chase Freedom
Call and ask for this card to be downgraded to "Freedom Unlimited" which has no annual fee. This means that you won't have to pay for the card at all.

Apply for the Chase Sapphire Preferred [Personal Referral Code. I get a small referral bonus



September [Choose this or the Preferred ] 
Apply for the Chase Sapphire Reserve (My Favorite Card)
 Chase Sapphire Reserve offers 50,000 bonus points after you spend $4000 in 3 months.
 $450 but $300 is credited back to you when you spend on travel.
Benefits

Best Part

Next January

Between 2 Cards you already collected 65,000 points valued at $650 at 1:1 ratio

Transfer your points from Chase Freedom and Chase Sapphire Preferred to this card via the Ultimate Rewards Portal, and your points will go up in value.

Chase Sapphire Reserve values the Chase Ultimate Rewards at 1.5%. This means that your 65,000 becomes 172,500! [This value is maintained only when the points are used for travel such as plane, hotel, rental etc.]

Just like that, you collected $17250 towards your next vacation!
If your wife or your girlfriend does the same thing, you are already at $34500 towards your dream vacation!

Also, you could get the Chase Freedom Unlimited which gives you unlimited 1.5 points for every dollar you spend.

Don't pay for your honeymoon

Vienna with My Wife :) Hello there, I'm Daniel and I am in love with travel. So far I have traveled to 25 different countries. But since I've enrolled in graduate school and started a family, I don't have the means to travel as I used to. We barely cover rent and tuition. Yet, even if I wasn't a student, I don't know if I would like the idea of spending my hard earned money over such a short period of time. The average salary in America is around $50,000. But a 2 weeks vacation for two people could cost anywhere from $4000 to $7000. That's 10- 15% of your yearly income. I can't justify spending 10-15% of my salary in 2 weeks. But just this last May, My wife and I travelled to Europe for 3 weeks! We visited 10 countries and made unforgettable memories. It was an amazing experience. According to many of the travel blogs, our trip should have cost anywhere from $6000 -$10,000. We spent $0. Honestly. No, we did not... Sleep in hostels Campou

5% Back on Amazon purchases

I love shopping on Amazon. Does your Credit Card offer 5% cash back on purchases you make on Amazon? You could get 5% cash back up to $1500 every year on your purchases on Amazon. Chase Freedom Card offers 5% back on rotating categories every year. During April to June this year, the category included grocery stores as well as drugstores. This means that you get 5% back on every purchase you make at participating grocery stores as well as participating drug stores up to $1500.  You might think, what does Amazon have to do with grocery & drug stores? Everything.  Many grocery stores and drug stores sell gift cards for different merchants including Amazon!  It's Simple.  During the Grocery Stores and Drug Stores category, go to Meijer or Wal Greens near you and stock up on Amazon gift cards! Then redeem the gift cards on your Amazon account and spend it on your Amazon purchases. Since you got 5% off on the initial cost of the Amazon gift card, you are
