    Episode Description

    This week Chase is relaunching their Sapphire Reserve premium credit card along with an all-new business option. On this show we deep dive into the new cards including all of the perks and the very enticing welcome bonuses. Unfortunately the new Sapphire Reserve card comes with new application rules, a popup and less potential in the long term for earning welcome offers. Which card should you get, which perks make the most sense and what happens to current cardholders? We also discuss Amex Business Platinum losing a valuable perk plus how much the annual fee might be after it is refreshed later this year. Are people over the move to higher annual fees and coupons or will we see more of this from other banks and what the heck has happened to Citi? Episode Guide

    Episode Description

    This week Chase confirmed that there will be changes this Summer to the Sapphire Reserve card. While we have covered the rumors before, this is the first time we have confirmation. What will be changing, when can we expect to know more and what should you do. Plus Chase also dropped a bombshell indicating a new Sapphire Reserve business card is coming as well. This should be a good opportunity. In other news Mark shares from his Orlando adventures which included an incredible timeshare deal, an interesting presentation and a lot of red flags along the way. We discuss what you should consider with timeshares in general and why you probably want to consider taking them up on offers including discounted rooms, gift cards and more. We also discuss Hyatt's killer new promo, Shawn's European adventures and why skipping the line is so satisfying.

    Episode Description

    This week Capital One announced some big changes to lounge access for Venture X cardholders. Like before the new rules are a bit different for the personal and business cards, however everything is getting cutback. Bye bye free guest access for most. Are these cards still worth it? Shawn also details some of the most interesting hotels of his trip including the Park Hyatt Zurich and Hyatt Place Zurich. Is the Hyatt Place a better hotel than the Park Hyatt? He also discusses a lovely Hyatt that feels like an old German grandmother's house, one of the coolest castles in the world and how knowing your travel limits is easier said than done.
