Main Cast: 

Cards that earn flexible points and should be used on the bulk of your purchases.

Supporting Cast:

Cards that earn fixed points in the currency of the airline/hotel and can not be transferred at attractive rates. These cards yield benefits that make it worth keeping, but not necessarily worth putting a lot of your everyday spend on. 

The Chase Sapphire Preferred® is exceptional starter card and offers transferrable Ultimate Rewards, and pairs well with other Chase cards.

If you carry this card alongside Chase’s cashback cards like the Chase Freedom Flex℠and Chase Freedom Unlimited® or the business versions: Ink Business Cash® , Ink Business Unlimited® you can combine the points into Preferred account and transfer into hotel and airline partners

Annual fee is quite low at $95 a year + you get a 10% anniversary bonus on points + $50 hotel credit in Chase travel.

    I received one of these after getting rid of my Amex Platinum Business in April 2020 after the world was shut down and Amex wouldn’t give me a break from their Annual Fee for their card that was suddenly of zero use. That left a bad taste in my mouth for Amex generally, but I think this is still a poor value and I won’t be taking it because the benefits are just too slight compared to the Annual Fee. I used to love using MR points on ANA to go to Asia, but that airline is a shell of its former self and has little to redeem, and CX/Asia Miles is even worse – I can’t spend the hundreds of thousands of MR Points I already have. And against the MR points of diminished value is the $600 annual fee which I’ll incur for several years before ever being able to cash in those points – not to mention the offensive, outrageous, and petty charge to actually use my MR points. I consider Chase miles of some use because I can at least redeem on SQ, which is actually flying, and has an airport which is working, but 140K Amex miles are of dubious value (to me).
