The Chase Trifecta Is The Best Credit Card Setup | Here's Why

[@Spend.Earn.Travel.]

What is your favorite credit card setup? Are you a Chase fan or do you prefer the Amex Trifecta? Or what about Capital One or Citi Bank?

[@turtletrade]

Chase (wBILT) ecosystem all the way! We're blessed to have my wife working for a major airline so we can fly for free; Hyatt is where we transfer all of our UR points for massive value. If Wells Fargo gets Hyatt as a transfer partner, then my sock drawer WF Autograph Card will make its way back into my wallet.

I Got Approved for Freedom Flex a Few Days Ago. The Benefits on this Credit Card is Pretty Good. The Chase Trifecta is The Objective. Will Avail for Freedom Unlimited in the Near Future. Keep it Vlogging!!! Kadeers!!!

[@JakeVanderPloeg]

Chase trifecta earns a ridiculous amount of points and has been my go to setup for a while now! Thanks for the video!

[@Spend.Earn.Travel.]

It's a really awesome setup. I wish I knew about it sooner when I was first starting out with credit cards.

[@qcman2000]

Currently have the CFF w/5% gas & grocery bonus, so loving the 9% this quarter. Was also able to max out the PayPal category last quarter, so it’s been a great earner for me w/no fee. Great video 👍🏽.

[@Spend.Earn.Travel.]

That offer has some great potential. Glad you are able to get it while it’s still out there!!

[@MP112791]

Just started out my Chase trifecta journey. I was able to get a pretty good elevated bonus for the chase freedom unlimited, so that will be an awesome catch all/point racking card for the year. And i Just got the sapphire preferred in my line up as well. Eventually I'll get the flex, but I am being methodical about it. Great video. A lot of folks don't realize some of their cards come with additional perks and benefits.

[@Spend.Earn.Travel.]

That’s awesome! Nice work getting that all put together!!

[@gainesville323]

2024 is the year I finally get the Chase Trifecta! After running a cash back setup for the last 3 years that had me as high as 6/24, I’ll finally be getting into team travel with Chase next week!

[@Spend.Earn.Travel.]

That’s awesome! Which card are you going to get?

[@gainesville323]

@@Spend.Earn.Travel. The first card I’m going for is the Freedom Flex while Chase has the 5x bonus on gas and grocery stores. I want to combine that with the Q1 category to get crazy earnings on grocery spend for the next 2 months.

[@rodolfo7765]

So we do a quadfectra. The Amex Blue Business Plus as our catch all 2%. Amex Gold Card for the obvious. Venture X for our travel card because of its superpower of free authorized users that receive Priority Pass (we’re a family of five). And finally the Sam’s Club plus card, 5% back on all purchases at Sam’s and 5% and back gas.

[@Spend.Earn.Travel.]

Wow I like the strategy! The venture X does have really powerful authorized users!

[@Bubbles99718]

Only trouble there is you split your spend to other eco systems. So we can't get all the pts towards, whatever; travel-hotel, etc. Course each person's needs are different so that might not effect this set up. Fun stuff, figuring out the game. :)

[@kaina732]

I currently have the Chase Freedom Unlimited and Chase Ink Cash. I am planning on getting the Chase Sapphire Preferred later this year. I also have the AmEx Gold and Blue Business Plus. I plan to get the Platinum either late this year or early next (depending on the welcome bonus). Then I will have both Chase and AmEx trifectas.

[@Spend.Earn.Travel.]

That’s awesome! If you can afford it, having both setups is great!!

[@kaina732]

@@Spend.Earn.Travel. I am not sure if I will be able to get the Freedom Flex due to 5/24. I would rather get the CSP so I can transfer points to SW and Marriott or Hyatt.

[@Spend.Earn.Travel.]

That makes sense. Those transfer partners are great ones to have access too.

[@rodolfo7765]

The only thing missing from Chase is a catagory for groceries.

[@Spend.Earn.Travel.]

Agreed! I would love to see a 3x or 4x on groceries. That's probably the one thing that has stopped me from going all in on this setup

[@KingGreen78]

And gas

[@Spend.Earn.Travel.]

Also true!@@KingGreen78

[@delariean]

I am under 5/24. Right now i only have csp, capital one venture, and discover. I am thinking about maybe upgrading to csr for the travel but i think i will work with the csp for now and then maybe add a freedom unlimited and work with those two for now. Getting lots of points is my focus now, but i know my limits in credit card usage.

[@Spend.Earn.Travel.]

The upgrade to the CSR would be great for travel. I have the CSP and I have considered the upgrade as well. But I currently have the Amex Platinum so I'm not sure I want to right now.

[@delariean]

@Spend.Earn.Travel. earning huge points is important in travel but knowing your limits in handling the credit cards should also be. Priority. I think I'll keep the csp for now but pair it with a Marriott hotel card. Its only been 6 months since I got csp so I'm not sure when to apply for it. Wait a year? 6 mths?

[@Spend.Earn.Travel.]

I would wait. Chance may also have an upgrade rule. You might need to wait a minimum of 12 months.

[@delariean]

@@Spend.Earn.Travel. upgrading the csp to csr? definitely waiting a year for it before a possible upgrade. what i was thinking of applying for was the marriot boundless card forbthat travel/hotel mix....but i can wait on that as well

[@callmeNeno]

just need that CSP for that trifecta ~

[@Spend.Earn.Travel.]

Woot Woot! Then you will have to full power of the trifecta!!

[@kmb6916]

I think the Ink Premier is only cash back.

[@Spend.Earn.Travel.]

I just double check and all of your rewards will be in the form of Chase Ultimate Reward Points which you can then choose cash out at 1 cent per point, giving you cash back. I don't know why they don't just use terms like 1x back.

[@kmb6916]

@@Spend.Earn.Travel. I do not think they can be transferred to partners but I could be wrong.

[@Spend.Earn.Travel.]

You can If you have the CSP or CSR or the Ink Preferred. Those cards give you access to the transfer partners and you can pool all your points from your different cards onto one of those to have access! I don’t know why they don’t allow the Ink Premier to transfer points.

[@trendscatcher]

On which card do you get the 2x in gas?

[@Spend.Earn.Travel.]

It’s on the Ink Cash Business Card! It is capped at $25,000 for combine gas and restaurant spending.

[@trendscatcher]

OK, thanks

[@carlosdiazplaza1690]

Also amazon prime card too!

[@Spend.Earn.Travel.]

Also a great card!

[@user-ko4pe9yd4e]

They need at least 2% on gas and groceries.

[@sebastianpodgorni5269]

CSP or CSR?

[@Spend.Earn.Travel.]

I think the Sapphire Reserve is the better option. But only if the annual fee works for you! What about you?

[@RSquared-travel-rewards]

Chase is my least favorite card issuer. Their 5/24 rule is silly and they have way too many overlapping categories and no 2% card. Wake up Chase loyalists.

[@Spend.Earn.Travel.]

I see what you’re saying. It would be nice to see a few additional categories. But the prices for the annual fees are pretty great!

[@trendscatcher]

The Chase system is not perfect for sure. But none other system is.

[@mohamadmohana6912]

Just my 2 cents. I have the CSR and that puts my redemption for travel at 1.5 times the points I have. Take for example the chase freedom unlimited flat rate of 1.5 x1.5 = 2.25 points/$ spent worth when travelling with the chae portal. Although other cars issuers like C1 venture x have 2% flat rate however cashback redemption is 0.5 cent for 1 point. Chase trifecta is already solid it just needs a permanent grocery section. As for overlapping categories, it is made like that in order to have 1 card not the whole 3. For someone waiting on the 5/24 that's ideal.

[@Spend.Earn.Travel.]

Great way to look at it!

[@RSquared-travel-rewards]

@@mohamadmohana6912 Nice that it works for you which is the great thing about credit cards. I however only use my CSR as a gateway to transfer out to partners. I refuse to settle for the 1.5 redemption 😊. So the same goes for CP1. I hoard CP1 miles then move them to my favorite airlines. TBH, my favorite use-case for Chase is access to Sapphire lounges. I fly out of Boston and NYC which coincidentally both have Sapphire lounges. Good discussion. Take care.

I like your contents but your hand movements are noticeably too repetitive.

Sorry. Can't help it. Just how I talk
