My Newest Credit Card

As I’ve talked about, I tend to follow a 91 day credit card “churning” cycle. (Translation: I apply for a new batch of credit cards every 3 months). Each cycle is limited to 1 card per bank – 1 Amex, 1 Chase, 1 Citibank, 1 Bank of America, 1 Barclays, etc.

The problem is, most of the best offers are from Chase. I can only apply for a new Chase card every 3 months, so I have to choose carefully.  
I decided to postpone my “churn” this time and just apply for one card. Drumroll please…
It’s the Chase Southwest Visa. The bonus is 50,000 miles, which should be good for 2 round-trip flights. If you haven’t gotten a Chase card for a while, the link is here. Annual fee is not waived for the first year.

Win 100,000 American Miles

Some of you don’t like giveaways, but they really are worth a shot. I had a couple readers (that I know about) win contests in the last year. I haven’t won any big ones myself (yet), but picked up a few thousand Marriott points recently. Click here to enter and good luck!
