Hi everyone! Coming out of long-time lurkdom to seek advice. I have a decent amount of spend in the near future, and I'm trying to figure out the best way to maximize any potential rewards. I'm too timid to go as hard-core as some of you, but reading this thread has made me realize I'm not taking advantage of some pretty beneficial opportunities.
Here are the basics:
P1 - 04/17 - CAP ONE Quicksilver
Since Day 1 - Chase Disney Visa (sock drawered for time being)
Discover - older than Dis Visa
P2 - 04/19 - CAP ONE Savor (Better than halfway to minimum spend to receive $500 bonus)
AU on DIS Visa & Discover
Discover used to be primary card, but typically only maxed out 2 of the 5% quarterly categories. We try to utilize Cash Back gift card bonuses ($25 for $20, etc) when appropriate.
Easily hit $2000/mo in organic spend, heavily weighted towards dining & gas.
Averse to paying AF, but will consider if benefits make it worthwhile.
MSY (SW access) is preferred airport. Do not currently have GE or TSA-Pre and not really sure if it's warranted at this time.
December trip to Italy is being heavily considered, and I realize it might be too late in the game to take full advantage of some of the better benefits. However, I'm open to suggestions that would help defray out-of-pocket expenses.
We are soon-to-be empty nesters, so future travel will increase.
I've learned so much from lurking, and really want to commend all of you for maintaining a vibe that felt welcoming enough for me to reach out with questions.
Thanks in advance!!
