I have all my annual fees waived, so I mostly just hold the platinum and will hold the gold card for the sign up bonus and $200 a year in airline credit.
The csp is my primary spend card and I but about 30k a year through it but I have been reading about buying gc/mo so am thinking I will start paying the rent that way which will add about 14k a year. I'm thinking possibly a hotel card. Mostly looking for additional travel benefits. I travel a lot for my military job but because I don't get to decide the airline I fly it changes too much to build status
i dont have any personal experiences with:
- (dedicated) travel cards ~ so hopefully other would chime in. *others might actually recommend another UR earning card to work together with your CSP - either the freedom or freedom unlimited. look into chase partner airline/hotel sites and see if you'll have use for them. search here or google about how chase UR for travel works, if you didn't know already.
- buying gift cards/MO ~ be VERY careful with this. i've read people getting their card shut down - not only 1 card but ALL their cards with that lender. family, AU or same household address cardholder's CCs also get shut down bcoz what you might be talking about is MS. hope i'm wrong and just misinterpreted your post. **MS is frowned upon this board. you might get a better grasp of this method somewhere else. google is your friend! myfico is NOT!!! ...not in this case!
