Wow… I have never seen any blog like this. Full of information and beautiful photos of high quality. Natural. Thanks for sharing this post. I have gained a lot of knowledge after reading this post. I am planning Iceland Hot Springs tour in the mid of this year.

Comment on Why it’s a good idea to have (at least) three checking accounts (and which ones to have) by mark

Great find!

This is generally considered the gold standard for high-interests bank accounts, but you should e-mail them to add that: http://www.doctorofcredit.com/high-interest-savings-to-get/

Great info, thanks! I recently found a local credit union in Michigan — Kellogg FCU — that’s offering 4% on up to $15K in their checking account if you meet the account requirements. It’s one of those where you have to live or work in the area to qualify. Definitely worth looking around for such deals as you recommend.

Comment on The importance of doing your own research before determining the best credit card offer by mark

The FlexPerks Gold Card is not a transferrable points card (which is why it’s more similar to the Barclaycard Arrival Plus), and which is why I feel the Chase Sapphire Preferred is a better overall card.

That being said, I think the Premier Rewards Gold has much better transfer partners (though the addition of FlyingBlue to Chase Ultimate Rewards dilutes this a little), especially for US flyers. Aeroplan is almost as good as United for Star Alliance bookings (other than a few carriers which add significant surcharges), and now that Delta has introduced short-haul award tickets (like West Coast roundtrips for 11,000 total which would cost 25,000 if booked through another SkyTeam partner), there is value in having Delta as a transfer partner, not to mention JetBlue and Virgin America are very useful. That being said, if you need Hyatt points or Southwest points, it’s hard to beat the Chase Sapphire Preferred.

The Citi Prestige is great for its Priority Pass access that allows two guests, and essentially has an annual fee of $100/year after you factor in the $250 airfare credit and $100 Citigold credit, and while the transfer partners aren’t as good, the points can be redeemed for 1.6 cents per point on American Airlines, which in some ways is even better than transferring points since you can earn miles.

Hey Mark. Great read. Care to elaborate a bit more on why you think the Chase Sapphire Preferred isn’t quite as good as the Citi Prestige or American Express Preferred Rewards Gold? I was also wondering if you knew how the points for this US Bank FlexPerks Gold card transferred? I’m a current Chase Sapphire Preferred card holder and would want to make sure i could add points together if need be. I’m new to this “churning” business, so sorry if the questions are a bit elementary.

I’ve also bought semi-big ticket stuff for (trustworthy) friends with the card, who immediately paid me via venmo/Facebook.
