Semi Annual CC Points Post

As some of your may know I am an avid travel and points enthusiast! This post is more geared to those not taking advantage of credit card points for the business and personal expenses.  I see a lot of posts about people setting up new properties and undoubtedly have big expenses in doing so.  Popular options are American Express, Capital One, and Chase - all of which offer sign up bonuses (some huge, up to hundreds of thousands of points) just to open and spend a few thousand within a set amount of time.  For example the American Express Buisness Platinum is offering 300k points for spending $20k in 3 months.

I just returned from Europe where I flew business class round trip for 2 people for 260,000 points.  The cash cost of those flights were nearly $30,000.

If you do not travel, you should still look into cash back options - up to 2%.

If you have any questions I am always happy to help :D

Great post!  We have separate "miles" CCs for each of our businesses.  I haven't paid to fly in years.
