This turned up on all three of my Chase cards.

I like their plain bone-in wings.

TheVig · February 17, 2023

@hegemony In case you want to start taking your SO to nice hotels. :wave:

Wells Fargo take over of the Choice Hotels credit card from Barclays. Go live is May 1st. New cards for existing card holders should arrive around mid to late April.

Rewards will be as follows:

No AF

5x at Choice Hotels. Making it 15x when you book at Choice Hotels dot com

3x Gas, Grocery, Home Improvement, and phone plans

1x Everything else.

I would have rather their be 3x on restaurants, than home improvement.

I've been spending a lot more time in smaller towns and have been focused on Wyndham properties and taking advantage of the bsarclays issued card but I'm going to apply to the Choice card because 1) more options for small towns and 2) it is orange.

brainchasm · February 28, 2023

I'm having a grand old time with Rakuten and MRs.

Since I buy the computer stuff for my workplace, I just make sure I'm Rak'd, and the points flow in.

77k points coming in May, and I'm not even done yet.

TheVig · March 1, 2023

Chase periodically sends me offers to upgrade my no AF IHG Traveler card to the Premier card with a $99 AF. I downgraded to the no AF card at the start of the pandemic. I did enjoy the free night back when I had the AF card.

Digging thru the T&C, I found the 5x on travel, other than IHG stays to be intriguing. Travel includes non IHG hotels.

I'm sitting on the fence trying to decide.
