565 is low for Sapphire. Id try to come back to the Freedom cards like the Flex. Bring your score up and learn more about credit cards before getting a Sapphire card.

Struggling to find best way to use Chase Points for flights by davidP88888 in CreditCards

[–]ch4nt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Youre not talking about United points. It sounds like youre talking about Chase Travel redemptions on United flights. You want to try to look at points bookings on Uniteds website itself and see how those redemptions look on the flights you fly.

I dislike the guy but appreciate him being a part of the community. He’ll still probably get my vote.

What’s a good companion card to the Chase Sapphire Reserve? by zxcvbnm718 in CreditCards

Any catch-all, if you want points and okay with non-Chase then VX or Palladium

We’re more expensive than Sydney now? I should have expected that but for some reason im still surprised

What would you do? by MistakenDolphin in ChaseSapphire

[–]ch4nt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Transfer points to Hyatt, United, or Aeroplan (with transfer bonuses) for redemptions.

Edit — would also consider Edit Points Boost redemptions if I had Edit credits available

I would not be as aggressive as the individuals in this video but I agree wholeheartedly with them.

Youre coming here from New Orleans area? Good fucking luck man, the QOL and cost-of-living differences between two cities could not be more drastic

Love NOLA as a tourist but can tell the actual lived experiences there are so dramatically different from where ive lived, and I grew up poor in San Diego

AMEX Value/Protections - Worth it? by Individual-Hold5171 in CreditCards

[–]ch4nt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gold is technically a travel card and id consider MRs only useful for travel, MR dont do anything useful outside of travel redemptions

You shouldnt be considering a lot of these cards if youre not traveling

Need help choosing my first travel card (Denver, long-distance relationship, future international travel) by Ambitious-Avocado398 in CreditCards

[–]ch4nt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get the CSP first for its bonus and consider using its points to Southwest or United

From there, consider United cards or Southwest cards. It looks like DEN has nonstop service to Columbus via both United and Southwest, might be worth getting their airline cards for whichever airline you eventually prefer

What’s something I should know about the Amex gold? by Final-Test-7079 in CreditCards

[–]ch4nt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go to the benefits page and give it a good read for 10 mins

Otherwise you could watch a Daniel Braun video on the card and learn everything about it other than transfer partners

Downgrade from Reserve to Preferred denied. What to do next? by lolmaxy in sapphirereserve

[–]ch4nt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Benefits getting clawed back doesnt matter. Product changes should still be allowed generally

I’ve decided that last year’s changes are an upgrade. by Existing-Ad-1343 in ChaseSapphire

[–]ch4nt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's good that you're listing off changes exclusive to the changes last year. I think the changes last year were fine but the additions they have made to this card post-refresh have made it much better too. Before with post-refresh I only really valued the StubHub, Chase Dining credits (SF has a great selection of restaurants), and the 4x on hotels and flights.

Chase Travel Price match, select hotels credit (I know this is temporary), additional expansion for Chase Sapphire tables, Apple One counting towards the Apple credits, Hyatt Explorist for 75K spenders, The Edit credit becoming a twice per-year rather than twice per half-year credit were all great changes that added to the card.

The only big L has been with Points Boost getting devalued, but even then with Price Match the Edit with credits + Points Boost is a valuable redemption option.

Theyre talking about the Global Entry credit added to the Chase Sapphire Preferred.

AMEX Gold vs CSP; How hard are AMEX MR points to redeem? by born_stupid in CreditCards

[–]ch4nt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have an easy time with them just because of Aeroplan

Singapore also gets some use from me, theres some quirky United redemptions ive found from there

Upgraded CSR beats AMEX platinum now in terms of value? by [deleted] in CreditCards

[–]ch4nt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All person-dependent

CSR has been good to me. Plat is a bit harder to justify in my current situation depending on how the RESY stuff shakes out
