HOMEWORK: Chase Ink Unlimited for 50k Ultimate Rewards points with $3k in spending all with no annual fee, and Barclays Aadvantage Aviator Red card for 60k AA points with first purchase.
The only payment we ever ask is to use our referral link if you choose to participate and get your own Chase Ink Unlimited card, or this referral link for the Marriott Bonvoy Boundless card. We only use links that offer you the best available offer, which at this time is 50k uber valuable Chase Ultimate Rewards points after spending $3k in three months, or 3 free nights (valued at 105k points, 35k per night) with Marriott Bonvoy after $3k in spend. For the Bonvoy link, note that there is a public 75k point offer which is smaller in total potential value, but allows you to chase nights at higher tier aspirational hotels if that is more valuable for you. We checked our referral link for the American Express Surpass and it offers 5k less points than the public offer of 130k points.
