If you are willing to prepay your groceries, go to your local drug store to buy a grocery store gift card. That's what I do to get 3x on groceries

That's another great trick! I'm always a little careful though with buying gift cards. First because they're just more things to keep track of and second because I don't want Chase to flag me for buying gift cards for points. I do think its fine to do that though as long as you're not buying like crazy large amounts of gift cards!

Solid setup, I’ll have the same in a few months. Like you said, you have to make sure you’re able to hit that $4k spend requirement. If it wasn’t for my planned 100k mile maintenance on my car, and being able to pay my car insurance policy in full, and paying off the (small) balance on my iPhone XS (i was determined to squeeze every penny out of the $200 credit T-Mobile split over 36 months 😑), I wouldn’t have hit that requirement. Be strategic folks, but all in all, great card setup especially with the signup bonuses.

I was happy I went with Unlimited over the flex, for the very reason that I didn’t want to have to remember to activate the categories eachquarter. Turned out that the unlimited offers 5% back on groceries for the first year. Yeay! I have noticed that some cards only offer points for either groceries (not sams, target or Walmart) OR online groceries, but not in store grocery. So I’m glad I snagged this deals when I did

Depends on your lifestyle and if you are traveling with and can bring a guest for free. I wouldn’t normally spend $45 on a meal for myself while traveling. I come to the airport prepared with snacks etc. I’ve had priority pass for almost ten years and it’s often not very good or in the wrong terminal, or last night it was closed at 8PM, right when my connection arrived. It does have value if you can use it often enough and you’re not on a company expense account.

Good video. Great job explaining the setup and honest review of the few drawbacks. I'm considering this setup sometime in the future when I get freed up on the 5/24 rule. My biggest hangup is Chase doesn't cover everyday spending (gas and groceries) as well as the other major credit card companies, although my Sam's Mastercard covers much of that for me. Still, it makes me consider other setups seriously. If Chase addresses that, it would be a slam dunk.

Great video Daniel, super clear. I got the 100K CSP, but unfortunately now I’m in 5/24 jail for another year. 1 awesome hack to get around the lack of a good grocery store multiplier is with a 4th card in the no AF chase business cash ink card. 5x on office supply stores, load up on gift cards and your set. Especially with the $750 SUB

So glad I ran across your channel and video. I’ve always been one to shy away from credit cards as I’ve only gotten in trouble with them in the past. Recently I jumped onto the “travel with points” train and I haven’t looked back! My credit thanks me and I’m excited to see where it goes. I just recently applied for and was approved for the CSR and have had the Freedom Unlimited stowed away for a few years now not being used. Perhaps the best thing though, is having the annual fees waived as a military member, so this is an absolute win! Keep up the great content and take this sub!

I was debating between the CSP and the Amex Gold for a while now. Since I already have other chase cards would you recommend finishing the trifecta first before moving onto AMEX? Only reason I was hesitant was because the CSP doesn't really offer any other cash back incentives that the freedom unlimited and flex offer. But it seems like the 1.25x point redemption is worth it if you plan to use the points for travel.
@Daniel_Braun
@Daniel_Braun 3 жыл бұрын
Great thoughts there! I have the same concerns about the CSP not being the best card to use everyday and truth be told I really don't swipe it that much ever. But the benefits and points are too good to pass up which is why I recommend that card over the Amex Gold right now. 100,000 Points with Chase is $1,250 towards travel at a minimum and your other Chase cards will earn you even more. Then after a year, if you really don't want to pay the annual fee for the CSP anymore then you could always downgrade to another no annual fee Freedom card (even if you already have them). The Amex Gold is great too but the opportunity cost of not going with the CSP is too high in my opinion with that value. Then you could always get the Amex Gold after completing your Chase Trifecta which is what I did. I hope that helps, but both of those cards are really great!

Great video (again) Daniel! The only thing that I'm currently concerned with the CSP as someone who has already joined the Amex bandwagon is that I anticipate to have most of my spendings with Amex cards given how useful the gold is in everyday spendings and the platinum is in traveling. With that said, I probably won't spend much with Chase. In that case, would you still recommend going for the CSP and paying the $45 annual fee? Thanks for the great video again!
@Daniel_Braun
@Daniel_Braun 2 жыл бұрын
Thanks for that, I really appreciate it! Some good points you bring up because if you're not earning as many points with Chase, then is it really worth it to get the CSP? In my opinion, the CSP can work for anyone because even if you do have a $45 effective annual fee in year 1 after the hotel credit use, you will still get at least 60,000 points to use for travel. Then after year 1, you can downgrade to a no annual fee CFF or CFU which you can just keep open and hardly ever use if you don't want to. The downgrade options to no annual fee cards with Chase make it a zero-risk option in my opinion because you are guaranteed a positive return in value for year one, but have the option for no annual fee with the same account and different card in year 2. If you end up liking Chase and get the Chase Trifecta, then the CSP is still great to keep open to redeem those points! Plus there's also great Chase business cards with high UR point bonuses if you have a business which I like. So yeah, lots of options and its up to you, but that's what I think of the CSP!

Instead of simply using the CSP in the first place. The CFF makes sense with the rotating categories but just curious since the CFU has the same points/dollar as the CSP. Thanks!

Thanks Rob! Personally, yeah I would say that going for a Chase Trifecta of cards is better to get before going over to Amex cards. I have both Chase and Amex right now but typically most people like to start with Chase because of the 5/24 rule that they have if you are familiar with that. By getting the 3 cards in the Chase Trifecta over the course of a year or so, you'll definitively be able to earn a ton of points for travel! Then you could always move over to a card like the Amex Gold after that which would be great for grocery spending if you are feeding a large family! Hope that helps, but yeah I definitely recommend starting with Chase

@@Daniel_Braun Thanks for the reply Daniel! Just subscribed to your channel :) since watching your vids I got the Freedom Flex and already have 25,000 points from the bonus and grocery / gas spend. Pretty insane! Can't believe I didn't start doing this sooner. I'm going to apply for the Sapphire Preferred next so I can combine points. Any recs on how long I should wait to apply for it? I got the flex on feb 15. My credit is good at 759

Hey Avnish, good question! So if you login to your Chase Ultimate Rewards account page and click at the top where it shows your points totals, then you should see an icon to "combine points". Go there and you can move around points from one card to another

I have the Freedom Unlimited for 9 months now and had a Slate Card for 22 years. How long would you wait to apply for the next card in the trifecta? Would you wait until the 0% for purchases is up or does that really factor in?

how long should I wait in between getting cards? I've had my sapphire preferred for 5+ years, but just got approved for the unlimited one today. But now I also want to get the flex for the trifecta. Should I wait a week to apply for the flex? I have 800+ credit score

I have the unlimited card and was just accepted for the preferred, looking to switch all of my monthly bills/utilities to one of the cards to increase my purchases to receive points. Wouldn’t it be more beneficial to use the preferred since it’s 1x per dollar as opposed to 1.5% cash back for the unlimited ?

Have you received all 5 of those credit cards within the past 24 months? If you so then you're over the Chase 5/24 rule and will be denied. But if you've received 4 or less of any credits cards from any issuer within the past 24 months, then you'll likely be approved for the CSP (assuming good credit score, income, etc.)

The Sapphire Preferred isn't the best for everyday spending with it's categories. I like the Freedom Flex for it's rotating 5% categories (which includes gas stations for Q3 of 2022) and the Freedom Unlimited's 1.5% back on everything for miscellaneous purchases. Then I pool all of my points with my Sapphire Preferred to use it's feature to transfer the points to partner programs like Hyatt (my favorite and a lot of value)

You can definitely use the Amazon card to compliment the Chase Trifecta, but it won't earn real Ultimate Rewards points that you can redeem for travel. I believe all Amazon points are worth a fixed value of 1 cent each, so really whatever you earn from the Amazon card is just going to be redeemed for cash back
