How to Get $250 for Free from Capital One Checking! | Unboxing Capital One 360 Debit Card!
I just picked up the Hyatt card, I will mainly use it for the free night and the 5 nights that it comes with. I normally stay 20-25 nights at Hyatt's so the 5 extra nights will get me close enough to justify getting Explorist status. the card I have next on my list is IHG, the free night plus $25 in United travel bank are nice. I do currently have the United Explorer and was considering switching to the Quest once my AF hits. I just booked a nonstop United flight from IAD to Tokyo in premium economy for 130k Miles.
This card is a junk card. How is this your favorite card? It’s useless
one man's junk is another mans treasure
Explain
ruclips.net/video/Q0WFgV6m5HM/видео.html
Your QNs didn't get washed away. When holding the card, you have Discoverist status regardless of how many nights you have. But the card also provides 5 QNs. Those were added on top of your stays - giving you 10 total.
If you get 2x back on the 1st 15k non-category spend in 6 months, BUT ALSO, after 15k spend, you get that extra Cat. 1-4 free night certificate. Sounds like it could make sense to go for that over using your Freedom Unlimited, at least for that 6 months. I’m interested to see what you end up doing or if you’re able to take advantage of both! Great content!
🐬
Does Chase have an issue with the referral links ?? They haven’t been working for me .. same with your links 🤨🤨
Hmmm. The links work for me. Which link are you trying to use? Thanks for the heads up!
@ I called Chase and got it figured out .. didn’t get approved for the CSR even with 760 score 😭😭
🐬 I got the card as well after you got it. You don’t start from 10 qn with the card’s discoverist as far as I understand it, and the second half of the bonus only applies to those purchases that would normally be 1x. Thanks for the vid!
Thanks for the insight on that! And thanks for watching!
So I have 8k in my apple saving account. Should I move it or its safe to keep it there
Can you check out the chase portal to check out pricing before having the card?
That’s a great question. I looked it up and unfortunately you need a Chase card to get access to the portal
Just got this card as well with the 65k bonus, I've been wanting it for so long but I wanted to finish the chase trifecta and get the United Explorer first. I plan on getting the IHG card next for the free night plus travel bank credits. I get one card every 6 months so i stay within the 5/24.
So you know you only get a free night certificate for the first 15k spent. You don't get it for every 15k spent.
Hey, Fern! Please provide a referral link for this card so I can apply.
Sadly there is no referral program for Hyatt. I really appreciate the thought though!
Congrats first of all. The most important you got approved! Definitely move some of that credit limit around through Chase private portal message request. I want three cards CSP, Capital One X, and Hyatt. I'm currently at 4/24 but holding off a bit since i recently got approved for Savor card with excellent credit this past December, so need to garden at least until September and get the Capital One X card when the new iPhone 17 Pro Max comes out. Got to be strategic ~~~
thanks for watching! I hink thats a fantastic move. But if you want the CSP you might need to get that before the Cap Venture X to stay under 5/24. Let me know what you end up doing!
Do you think that you may be close to the maximum available credit Chase will extend you? That may be why your last few cards have had such a low limit. 🐬
yeah i think its that and the fact that maybe i report the same income each time. If i increase my income im sure it would increase my limits
WOH is a Visa Signature, so the minimum CL should be $5k…
I want the CSR for a recent trip I’m going to take then I want to apply for this card .. how long should I wait between applications ? I’m in the mid 700 credit score as well
If you get approved for CSR i think 1-2 weeks is fine. maybe a month. but ive applied to two cards in one month and i was good! Here is the CSR link if you want to apply: www.referyourchasecard.com/19q/BWFV9XRHOL. Let me know what the outcome is! Super curious to know!
Suggestion is to wait 90 days between Chase cards to prevent a Chase shutdown. Though, ocasional breaking of this rule is fine so long as it’s not frequent
Damn I applied a little over a week ago. I just called to see if I can be considered for the 35K bonus instead of the 30. They told me to call once I’ve met the spending limit. Do you have any previous experience with a similar situation? Great video btw!
yes i do! that happened with my chase sapphire card. Once i did call after hitting the limit the gave me the updated sign up bonus that i missed by 2 weeks. So the moment you get the sign up bonus call chase. Might be tougher since its a brand card but i think you’ll be good
Can I spend money in the travel portal to count towards my first $4000?
yes! any dollar spent anywhere as long as its not balance transfer
Is this card subject to the 5/24 rule?
yes because its a chase card
🐬
appreciate you man !
Hey! I unfortunately don’t know anyone in my circle who’s a Hyatt globalist but I would love to use the guest of honor perk during an upcoming stay I have. Would you potentially know anyone that would be willing to share? I would compensate them for the guest of honor status
I have a few to give
Hey im down to get some too haha
When is you stay?
@@rodrigowiggins I appreciate that! I would love to connect with you
🐬
🐬 ! .. I really want this card what requirements do you think one would need to get approved ?
You’ll see in my next video!
It is better not to apply and wait for the 5 free nights
I have been using the card for about 4 years as an every day card. I just switched over to Chase Safire preferred as a more flexible option but with my average hotel stays of 5k points the benefits have been incredible.
Depends. If you can legitimately redeem cat 1-4 FNCs it's a win. If you're looking at cat 5+ properties it's a loss.
Depends on your goals with the points. Just depends on the person!
Why wouldn't you use it for your everyday Card? Thanks
In my personal setup I prefer to earn chase points. Maybe I’ll use the Hyatt card as my catch all card at some point. But Chase points are more valuable to me
@@FernsFrugalPointsFinances Thanks. I just switched over 2 following your advice. The 5k on stays have been incredible.
🐬
Thank you!
I live and fly out of EWR as well. So I get the pain of having amazing credit cards perks but not being able to use them on all flight segments . If you go with the explorer card, consider the business version, you get all the same perks but don’t burn a chase slot. If you go the united club route, consider the Penfed Pathfinder ($99 AF that you can waive) and the US Bank Connect ($0 AF) cards. They give limited priority passes every year so maybe get one for you and your P2. I look forward to future content especially how you redeem non UR points to fly out of EWR.
24 months financing and maybe 4% cashback on Apple products that would be awesome
If you're using transfer partner do you really need the CSR when the CSP would work the same? It feels like the Amex Plat will provide better starting status at Hilton.
🐬👍👍
Looks like a great setup. Depends on your home airport but Delta cards with TakeOff15 and using JetBlue with my Platinum card to get the 35% boost when I can’t find delta flights. Good way of getting 1.2-1.5cpp consistently
I like the information but for me you talk fast. I would prefer a few minutes longer but a slower pace. Just my feedback.
I'm 40 years old, my total CL is currently $283,100 across 20 cards. No, nobody realistically needs this much credit limit lol. But it's nice that no matter what utilization gets reported, my score barely changes. (And no does not mean I carry a balance)
woahhhh thats awesome! i agree. Its nice to know that you have that much to help your credit score
@@FernsFrugalPointsFinances Thank you. For sure, I honestly didn't know this was a thing. I've seen some people on reddit with more insane stats like $500K+ credit lines. Even mine is overkill, but it's there from opening so many cards from churning lol
Interesting info here! Good stuff man thank you
Glad you enjoyed!
These limits seem super low…
you'd be surprised by the average american's financial situation
Fern, I have a question. Is it possible to link a new SoFi checking account to my Venmo? I have an employer madame who pays me via Venmo, and then I transfer my earnings from Venmo to my 1st Bank, which I want to get rid of. Thoughts???
I think the 1.5 cpp is great when you don’t hit 1.5 cpp when you transfer out
That AI generated thumbnail is trash
Yeah for real
wanted to try something new with it. thanks for the feedback!
Would we need a new card after the switch
I’ve never added my credit limits up before so this was interesting. Millennial here with a total credit limit of almost $85K (not including a $12k limit on a store card I never use). That’s a lot higher than I would’ve guessed and I plan on adding another 3-4 cards in 2025. Like you I also pay my card balance weekly.
lets go! thanks for sharing. always good to know where people stand
🐬Gen X with 25K, I pay down my credit cards as soon as the purchase clears. The thought of a late fee or interest charge terrifies me. 🥺
100%. its the worst feeling
Do not get a platinum unless you make a minimum of six figures a year. If not it's bad math.🍷🤙
Thanks for the outlook!
The United Club card does not get you into Polaris lounges. You get into Polaris lounges free if you book UA Long-Haul Business (Asia, Europe, Oceania, etc.). But of the 3 EWR United non-Polaris lounges, C123 is the best...it has showers and self checkin.
Thanks for clarifying! You are so right. Not all United lounges are the same
This was an awesome video!! Really helped me think about future trips. I would love to know what the best way is to travel to Madrid in business class? Flying out of Austin or Houston Texas! Thanks! I have over 250K CUR points and 55K C1 miles.
Great video! I'm looking to get the Hyatt personal CC to add along to the Chase Trifecta. I also have the C1XP for lounge access and its "keeper card" status. I love the Chase ecosystem too like you, so I'm still staying away from AMEX for now. Maybe in a few years with a few promotions I'll get into it haha. Once again great video!
Hilton > Hyatt
I have similar goals .. I prefer united airlines and Hyatt hotels .. so I’m mainly focusing on Chase and bilt
Capital one has limited pirotry pass from unlimited to 2 people 😢.
I am happy to hear that you are going to CES. As one of my favorite Tech RUclipsrs, you should have been attending that expo years ago. Thank you for a great video on credit cards. I just applied and received Chase United Club card, yesterday. I'm looking forward to maximizing my current United membership with the Chase United card.
Oh man. I'm not going to CES this year.
