The Ink Cash and Ink Unlimited Eligibility Rules, Explained These two cards are still some of the best no-annual-fee business cards out there. Consider this your one-stop guide to how eligibility actually works today, how it compares to the rest of the Ink and Sapphire lineup. First, a Quick Refresher on Why These Cards Are So Good The Ink Cash and Ink Unlimited have been staples of our strategy for a reason. $0 annual fee, a genuinely great welcome bonus, and a little loophole that makes them punch way above their weight: No annual fee — this is as good as it gets! A strong welcome bonus labeled as ‘cash back ’ but can easily be turned into points. The combine trick — pair either card with a Chase Sapphire Preferred®, Sapphire Reserve®, Sapphire Reserve® for Business, or Ink Business Preferred®, and that "cash back" instantly becomes fully transferable Chase Ultimate Rewards® points. A $750 bonus becomes 75,000 UR points you can move to Hyatt, United, Southwest, and more. ...

American Express American Express cards can feel overwhelming. Personal or business. Gold or Platinum. Points and perks. This guide simplifies it so you can build a smart Amex strategy without wasting annual fees or missing valuable benefits. At its core, Amex is powerful for families because Membership Rewards® points are flexible. And we love flexible, transferable points! The airline partners are fantastic and offer opportunities for both domestic and international air travel. While Amex has many airline partners, the hotel partners are limited. Of those three hotel chains, I prefer Hilton simply for the value. The transfer rate to Hilton is 1 Amex point: 2 Hilton points. This means that your Amex points go twice as far with Hilton. Additionally, if you hold the Amex Platinum (personal or business), you receive automatic Hilton Gold status. Hilton offers a Fifth Night Free benefit on standard room reward bookings for members with this elite status. In addition to this perk, you als...

  What Is the Companion Pass? The Companion Pass  allows you to bring one person with you  for free, excluding  taxes and fees  ($5.60 each way in the U.S.). You can change your companion up to three times a year. It works on flights booked with cash, points, or credits. Once you qualify, the pass is  valid for the remainder of that year  and the entire following  year. For my family of four, it’s the best perk out there. When my husband and I both hold Companion Passes, our kids fly free. Or he and I can take trips without the kids and only need to buy one flight! We’ve saved thousands this way (both in points and cash). Current Promo There is more than one way to earn a Companion Pass. There is the traditional way , where you are required to earn 135,000 Rapid Rewards points in a calendar year. Southwest also offers a promotional Companion Pass, where you can earn CP with just one card and one signup bonus. With each of the 3 personal cards, you...

  Capital One Venture Rewards The Venture Rewards card has a new, elevated offer! (as of 9/8/26)( Spend $4k in 3 months and earn 75k points & receive a $300 Travel Credit to use in the Capital One Travel Portal. Annual Fee: $95 2x on ALL purchases $120 TSA Precheck on Global Entry credit Capital One miles can be transferred out to a variety of airline partners, but you can also use them to cover travel purchases made on your card (at a redemption rate of one cent per mile). This is perfect for cruises, vacation rentals, and other travel expenses that are more challenging to redeem points for. This is how we use our Capital One miles as of late. While this isn't the best value possible, it helps us to keep our out-of-pocket costs down with so much travel, and ultimately, some of it is not eligible for typical point redemptions. Capital One Transfer Details The Capital One Venture card earns a flat 2x miles on every purchase. You'll also earn 5x miles per dollar spent on hote...
