Thanks for the video. I was considering a setup very similar to this, except with Sapphire Reserve in place of the Preferred, but sticking with the Freedom Unlimited as the other card. If you see this, what would be your thoughts on this idea? I'm looking for a solid and simple long-term focused rewards card setup that focuses on simplicity.
Great question , personally I think if you use the transfer loyalty travel partners, you won’t get enough benefit to cover the higher annual fee. However, if you plan on using your chase points for pay yourself back or for booking travel via their portal, and it is a LOT of points, then I think the reserve can be worth it. I feel like you would need to travel a ton though. Unless they raise the signup bonus for reserve, I feel like I would hold off.
