Chase Ink Preferred 80k points 5k spend
Chase Ink Unlimited 50k points after 3k spend
Chase Ink Cash 50k points after 3k spend
The last 2 you mentioned only show rewards in cash not in points as far as I can see.
Is there a way you are converting their $500 cash back reward to 50k points?

Yea if you have a Chase Sapphire Preferred/Reserve or a Chase Ink Preferred you can convert it. It appears to automatically convert if you're already in possession of one of the above cards.

I have preferred and ink preferred.
So if I link one of those cards to the same account as my others it should give me the option to collect in cash back or points after reaching the 3k within 3 months threshold?
Also, would I use the same "business" as previously used for the ink preferred or make up a new one for the other 2 business cards

Yes it should work that way. I don't have any personal Chase cards to verify but I believe both business and personal cards can be on the same account.

Yea I would keep everything the same. People have had success applying for a second Ink Preferred by adding or removing their middle initial in the application process. I'm not gonna risk trying that

I'm forming an LLC in december for the next tax year because i'm an IC. Gonna get a new ink preferred then using the LLC. Wanted something to churn through before then.
Guess I'll hope on one of these other cards

You should be able to double dip on each of those cards using your LLC

Friends, wife starting new position where she will be driving about 20k miles a year for work. we will be banking with Chase.
which would be the best business credit card to take advantage of the fuel expense?
or easier just to stick with Chase Ink?

I don't have a clue here, but for pure gas you may be better off getting a fuel card. Many you save 5% I'm pretty sure. Now if she is going to be doing a lot of hotels and eating out that would be different.

Just started a new job in which i will be traveling a hefty amount and will be reimbursed for all expenses. I won't be using any one hotel/airline religiously so I'd like a card that gives the best bang for your buck on general travel. Currently looking at Navy Federal's Flagship rewards card or Capital One Venture Rewards. Any input?
Posted on 9/12/19 at 10:43 am to BigOrangeVols
I would say Chase sapphire reserve or the sapphire preferred

AMEX Platinum for your flights (5x points on airfare plus gold status at all Marriott and Hilton properties; access to Centurion Lounges at airports)
-AND-
Chase Sapphire Reserve (3x points on travel, use this for your hotels, it also gives you Priority Pass lounge access that includes some airport restaurants)

just found this amazon card. looks legit. any thoughts?
Posted on 10/1/19 at 6:46 am to donRANDOMnumbers
If you're talking about the chase Amazon card, I have it and like it a lot. 3% back on Amazon purchases (5% if you have prime) 2% back on gas and restaurants, 1% back on everything else. Rewards are in Amazon credit. I use the hell out of mine though.

United Airlines put out an FAQ on their upcoming dynamic award pricing, and it sucks.
At first, they said that on Nov. 15 they were moving to dynamic award pricing for United flights, but would not change award pricing for partner awards. Now they are indicating that they will also be moving to dynamic pricing for partner awards.
--Dynamic pricing is a fancy term for 'we no longer have a set award pricing chart and it will now cost more points to fly'--
This means they are devaluing their currency across the board, which has big implications to Chase Ultimate Rewards points. If United goes the way of Delta, then Chase UR points will be relatively useless for international business class fares (with the exception of Air France/KLM), and really only holds great value if you have the Reserve card and use the 1.5 cents per mile to book domestic or international economy via their travel portal.
This is disappointing. I was planning on dropping my Citi ThankYou Premier card, but now LifeMiles has become a bigger priority for me to secure Star Alliance international business class awards.
And with AMEX, you can transfer points to both LifeMiles and Aeroplan for access to decent Star Alliance international business class awards.
AMEX and Citi have now supplanted Chase, imo, unless Chase goes out and gets another travel partner. After losing Korean, and with United devaluing its currency, Chase is losing its luster... and the Emirates partnership doesn't compensate considering Emirates' value of its currency.

You may be right but I think it's jumping the gun a bit. What they said doesn't necessarily equate to dynamic pricing on partner flights.
Also, I'd be surprised if United did that before other airlines had figured out how to dynamically price partners, as that's a lot harder to do with inventory your airline doesn't control.
Perhaps they are going to arbitrary raise some partner award redemptions which would essentially just make it a regular devaluation.

I hope you're right. I would hate for United MileagePlus to go the way of Delta SkyMiles and put a dent in the value of Chase Ultimate Rewards points.

What would be the best personal card for points right now? I’m gonna be charging about $80,000 in the next year for a group trip that I’m planning. I don’t typically use a credit card for my personal expenses and I want a card just for this trip since I’m planning it for other people and will be receiving money from them. I don’t want to mix it with my own expenses. I figured this would be an easy way to rack up some points. Thoughts?

Woah!
I would suggest the Chase Sapphire Reserve. You're going to get 3 points for every dollar you spend on travel-related expenses. You'll also receive a 50,000-point sign-up bonus.
So between your charges and the bonus, you should have around 300,000 points after paying for the trip. You can transfer those points to various airlines and actually be able to travel around the world in first class.
There are also many perks with the Reserve card (lounge access, trip insurance, $300 travel credit, TSA/Global entry reimbursement).

About $28k will be spent with Southwest booking flights. This is a trip to Disney so other large portions will be charged to them. About 40k for tickets and about 20K for rooms. Would that info change the cards you suggest?
