A couple of things:<\/p>\n

1.<\/strong> Chase has a few mildly interesting spending bonuses from April \u2013 June for up to $1,500 total spend. On this round, pay extra attention to your offer. Some give you 5x on all spend, some only on grocery and restaurants, some include gas stations and drugstores, etc. Another variant is 1x-1.5x bonus on $3,000 or $6,000 in spend. Honestly, Chase has gotten AmEx weird this time \u2014 go home Chase, you\u2019re drunk! Eligible cards include: United, Starbucks, Hyatt, IHG, Disney, Marriott, and British Airways; but check any other co-brands you have with Chase too. Use this link to see your offer and enroll.<\/a><\/p>\n

2.<\/strong> Did you know that downgrading your AmEx card will prorate the annual fee? Yeah, you probably knew, just don\u2019t do it in the first year after opening or after a retention offer to avoid a potential bonus clawback. Here\u2019s something related that you may not know: Downgrading an AmEx with an attached offer retains the offer on the card, even after downgrade. For example, if you\u2019ve attached the monthly $20 dining credit to your expensive Hilton Aspire card, you can downgrade to the no annual fee Hilton HHonors card, get the prorated refund, and keep the monthly $20 dining credit. Boom goes the dynamite!<\/p>\n
