Viewer Questions

What if you'll do a whole segment on the problem with Capital One. Lani alluded to it but didn't want to get into it. What am I missing? - @AcmeAcresA

Intro: What is the SYPs definition of a catchall? And can it have FTFs? Does it have to be accepted at almost all merchants? - Keith
- Main question(s): What is your current catchall card and what do you think is the best catchall card on the market even if you do not have the card?
- Is there a popular catchall that you think is overrated? If so, why?

Would love to hear the team discuss this question I had with a few other CC enthusiasts. Would you rather fly to Asia/Europe directly in premium economy or fly business with a medium/long layover. Personally I'd choose PE, but could see others disagreeing. - KirbyG

Have any of you on the panel purchased points strategically for an upcoming redemption or to help meet a SUB? Hilton & IHG are both having limited time points sales with 100% bonus. - JC

Given some of Chase's moves and rumored moves recently and the potentially coupon-ey Savor X, any predictions on further couponization/brand partnerships across C1, Citi, & WF? - DDAF

News Round-Up Topics

Matt
- Citizen’s latest “top” card has an Annual fee that is flexible based on your relationship with Citizens, is this something you’d like to see to help “manage” some of your Annual fees or do you see this as unnecessary?
Lani
- So Amex came out saying they will refresh the Amex Platinum cards (shocker, i.e. Chase and they do so every 4-5 years). I personally think they are pulling rulers out vs. doing it for business changes. But with so much more money being added to annual fee, competing credits, etc. Is it time to just pick Chase or Amex (based on hypothetical refresh)?

Viewer Questions

If all hotel status was stripped off of cards and you had to pay for it, what would you pay for IHG Platinum (Lani), Hyatt Discoverist (Tariq), Marriott Gold (Matt) and Hilton Gold (RJ). Please consider the multipliers and benefits the status provides and the value you realistically achieve to assign the annual valuation. - AP
- Maybe change the question a bit in our answers to which status would we pay for?
I take that most, if not all of you, are ideally not depleting your points balance all the way to zero/near zero. So my assumption is that occasionally you are paying cash for a trip even though you technically might have the points to cover it. How do you go about making the decision to use points versus cash in that scenario? - DDAF
So are annual fees for cards no longer worth it? Looking at the possibilities with no annual fee cards you can access most transfer partners for free between amex, wells Fargo, bilt and capital one. Aside from chase and Citi each ecosystem offers the possibility of obtaining a considerable amount of points. Unless you are looking for a premium benefit is there any other reason to justify an annual fee card for transferrable currencies? - Thic Boii
Favorite Futurama character and why? - DDAF

News Round-Up

- CSR Rumors
  - Why Chase, Why - Keith
  - Why would Chase try and have the Sapphire card compete with the Platinum when it can create a category of it's own? What would it take to make the Sapphire your "one card"? I'm thinking keep the travel credits the way they are, one or two more coupons, 2X catch all, raise the annual fee, 2x in the portal instead of 1.5. Am I asking for too much? - rp2048

Topics

Matt
- The Coupon Book wars are now in full effect; what is more likely to happen: AmEx feels the effect of the First Mover Dilemma, or Chase (or another bank) clean house? Can another bank enter and win, or can a bank win a different way?

Who we are

Viewer Questions

What's your grail card? And your grail SUB? - Keith
Which card or cards do you think are the most beautiful or coolest-looking? And which ones are the ugliest? - DDAF
Many times you all have asked for any other bank to add Mobile Wallet as a spending category. The forthcoming Alaska Airlines card is going to have foreign transactions as a spending category. What other spending categories are out there that banks haven't added to good cards would you like to see? - Jason
What are your favorite hotel brands inside of Marriott, Hilton, IHG, and Hyatt? (Eg. Westin, Embassy Suites, HIX, Andaz) - AP
Now that we find ourselves living in even more uncertain economic times, do you find yourselves using your credit cards less often? And do you think Americans will prefer cash, debt, electronic payments before using credit as they once did? Will there be any secondary effects with less miles and points generated because the banks pull back on the credit that they are willing to lend to card holders and issue to new applicants? I find myself using my cards much less often than I did at this time last year. - Keith

New AmEx Trademarks?

Topics

Matt
- This isn’t a Travel or Credit card topic; but it isn’t just me, general macroeconomics are just broken right? The “Law of Supply and Demand” seems to have died off somewhere, and now it’s just the “Law of what you’re willing to pay” and like…At some point that has to break, right?
K1D
- We all love to travel, but how are credit cards allowing you to have other financial freedoms? What are some of the wins that you have experienced because of credit cards that are not travel or points/miles related?
Tariq
- We’ve all picked our bank ecosystems based on our travel partners (Chase/Bilt for United & Hyatt, Amex for Delta & Hilton), but if you could choose which bank had your transfer partners, which would you choose and why?
RJ
- There was a time when airline ticket prices were regulated. From 1938 to 1978, the Civil Aeronautics Board (CAB) oversaw routes, fares, and schedules. That all changed with the Airline Deregulation Act of 1978, which opened the doors to competition. Since then, flights have gotten cheaper—but so has the experience. Gone are the quality meals, spacious seating, and polished service, as airlines now race to offer less for less.
