As I’m sure you have seen each of us here do things a bit differently depending on our goals.Currently starting our chase trifecta journey. (CSP, CFF, CFU). We like that it transfers to southwest and jetblue since they are the two that our local airports use that we like.
My career is in grocery, our highest spend (13-14k annually) is groceries, this is because I work at a supermarket so we buy most non food essentials there as well, 300 a month on gas and then around 2k a month on everything else I can charge (dining, bills etc)
Should we have chosen the blue cash preferred and blue cash everyday combo from Amex and just used the cash back for flights?
Is there another combo we may like?
I did debate opening a CFF for my wife for a 2nd 5x back in the rotating categories.
Thank you for your time, sorry for the long post. I love this community and trying to learn.
Our travel usually consists of flying to Orlando 4 times a year to visit our son and his family. SW flies out of our local airport which is 10 minutes away, so I make sure one of us always has the SW companion pass. I also stay with Chase earning URs, I have a CSR which I use PYB for on my grocery and gas purchases.
If you fly SW the CP may be something to look into towards the end of this year, if you earn it at the beginning of 2024 you would have it for the rest of 2024 and all of 2025.
