The Marriott Bonvoy Boundless card by Chase is the only entry-level Marriott Bonvoy card available to new applicants. Marriott points are useful because of the variety of hotels available in the Bonvoy program in addition to the other ways you can redeem your points with their travel partners.

The reason we collect points and miles is to reach our travel goals. For many people, those goals are to travel to aspirational locations and/or getting to those places in luxurious style, be it castles, temples, ancient ruins or beaches with crystal clear water.
This credit card’s sign up bonus isn’t really for those people.
The JetBlue Plus card and its currently increased 50,000 points sign up bonus is great for those whose travel goal is going on a family vacation. Getting airfare for free would allow you to go on an extra trip or just splurge on some extras when you get to your locations, like a bigger hotel or some additional souvenirs.
If you want to read about the JetBlue Card in general, my review is located here:
While you can get a quick boost to your points and miles balances through sign up bonuses, we earn a significant portion of our points through everyday spending. Earning miles while buying groceries or gasoline is not the most exciting part of this game but it’s important to try and get the most out of all your purchases. Paying attention to little things like this will help you build up a nice stash of miles. Continue reading “Credit Card Review: American Express Everyday Preferred”
It’s tax season. That time of the year where part of the population gathers paperwork as soon as possible to file for a refund and the rest of us put off the task until the last minute because we don’t want to see how much money we’ll owe the government. In the past, the way to pay the Internal Revenue Service was to write them a check and make sure that it was postmarked by the end of the tax deadline (April 15th, or later due to holidays or weekends). Now that many people choose to eFile their taxes, you can easily add your banking information to have your taxes due removed from your bank account. This is a fee-free option and I’m sure many people take advantage of the ease of doing this. As someone who’s always looking for a place to earn extra points and miles, I was interested when I saw that you can pay your taxes with a credit card…but with a catch.

I’ve been signing up for hotel co-brand credit cards as a way to decrease our total out pocket spending on travel. Several cards have sign-up bonuses good for multiple nights at low-cost properties or a long weekend at a luxury resort. The most recent card I signed up for is the World of Hyatt credit card from Chase.
I’ll admit that Hyatt was a hotel chain I didn’t pay much attention to before I started earning Chase Ultimate Rewards. Once I was able to transfer points from Chase to Hyatt, I noticed that they had hotels with award space in locations I wanted to stay like Hollywood, Sedona, Key West, and Raleigh. NC.
Here’s a look at the World of Hyatt Card.
