Credit Cards, let's talk about 'em. What do you guys

I'm reading up on the Gold Delta Skymiles card. 30,000 bonus miles if you spend at least $1,000 within the first three months sounds too good to be true for a free first year and $95 annual fee after.

You pay a fee with every purchased with these CC, right?

airmiles and miles traveled for a ticket aren't 1:1 right? There must be some bullshit.

I have that card and the platinum business. It's legit. Not a fee per transaction. If you don't fly often or far it just gets harder to accumulate miles from just cc spending

No they aren't one to one. Go to Delta and see how much a flight you want would cost in miles. Had a round trip flight to from ATL to San Diego for about 20,000 miles

I have Chase Freedom and Sapphire Preferred and I have been able to get a lot of points, mainly due to the sign up bonuses.

I've posted this on here a few times so maybe people will recognize it (although the total is higher now).

It's not hard at all, you just need to know what you're doing. Just stick to Chase credit cards rather than airline-specific cards, unless you use only one exclusively.

Chase cards all the way! I have Sapphire Reserve, Sapphire Preferred, Freedom, and Freedom Ultimate. Currently sitting at over 200,000 UR points- which is worth $3000 or more with the bonus the Reserve gives. The reserve has a $450/year fee, but you get $300 in travel credit, $100 for free global entry signup, lounge access, and more. Get it now, the travel credit resets jan 1 so if you spend fast you get $600 credit for the $450 sign up fee.

Bad advice

What card should I get for long term stay overseas? I dont fly enough to care about miles or lounge or anything like that. Will anything with no foreign transaction fee do?

Why? What's in your wallet?

At a standard rate, it's about 5000 Skymiles per $50 ticket price, although they will sometimes offer a special rate based on whether or not you pay with miles.

I keep getting these stupid offers every week. My current ones are $50,000 miles with $2000 in purchases during the first 2 months or 75,000 miles with $3000 in purchases during the first 3 months. It's ridiculous. Only reason I'm even considering it is because I'm a cheapass who wants to take a cruise, and that purchase would be enough to score me that $750 worth of Skymiles credit. I just don't want to take the hit to my credit since I know I wouldn't be able to pay off these purchases right away, and besides that I don't want a card with a $95 annual fee. That's why I have a Chase Freedom Unlimited card with a $2300 credit limit.

You know Islamist terrorists know which country you're from not by your passport but your bank cards when you buy shit in shops
