This is the Weekly Data Points Central thread

In this little hobby of ours, we constantly rely on sharing the experiences and data points by others to optimize our award earning process. From how often you can apply for a card or bank account, to how soon a bank pays out the bonus. All the sidebar articles and information in our recurring threads are basically an abstracted version of all the DPs collected by the community at large.

If you have a DP about a bank bonus, please post it in the newest bank bonus thread (If that link doesn't work for you for whatever reason, either click on the "bank bonus" link in the sidebar or on new reddit, search for "bank bonus weekly" while limiting your search to this subreddit.

This is the thread to post questions about churning for miles/points/cash. Just because you have a question about credit cards does NOT mean it belongs here. If you’re brand new here, please read the wiki before posting.

* Please use the search engine first - many basic questions have been asked before.

* Please also consider scanning (CTRL-F) the last couple days worth of Question threads

* If you have questions about what card to get, ask here. If you have questions about manufactured spending, ask here. If you have questions about bank account bonuses, ask here.

This subreddit relies heavily on self-moderation. That means that if you ask something that shows you haven’t done any research, you’re going to get a lot of downvotes.

Welcome to the What Card Should I Get Weekly Thread, where we try to figure out what card you should get or critique your current plans or AOR if you're doing it that way). Everything is YMMV and these are all opinions. Agree or disagree with your votes. As always read the wiki, do your research, and happy churning.

Before posting, please use the [credit card finder tool](https://www.whichcreditcardshouldiget.com) and answer the questions to get personalized recommendations based on your card history.

The site should easily be able to answer all "What card should I get?" questions. By continuing to post, you must explain why you feel the flowchart does not answer your question. Asking for feedback ("The site says I should get X - is that still the best choice?") is absolutely allowed.

This is the Weekly Bank Account Bonus Thread. Use it for anything related to bank accounts and bonuses, such as:

* Churning mechanisms (DD, etc)

* Data points (did bank X bonus arrive)

* Other bank account discussions/questions

Before asking a question, first search:

• The search engine
• DoC's Bank Bonus section
• https://bankrewards.io/
• Terms and Conditions of the offer
• What to know about closing bank accounts

​

You can also call the bank with questions, but only if you are precisely following the T&C. Otherwise, don’t call the bank!

• Seriously, don’t call the bank!

Also: The mod team is aware that there are bank bonuses that either require a referral or have elevated bonuses when using a referral. Examples would be Schwab and Varo. Do not ask for referrals in this thread - if you want/need a referral for one of those accounts, please check the "Miscellaneous Referrals" thread on r/churningreferrals. Posting or soliciting referral links for those accounts will result in being banned from this sub.

Please post new bank churning opportunities as top level posts for wider visibility.

This is the Weekly Off-Topic thread

There's more to this hobby than just credit cards - it spreads out into travel aspirations, what luggage or wallet you're using, or what flavor kombucha your local WeWork is serving. Please use this thread to talk about all things even tangentially related to churning. Memes, jokes, and off-topic content are allowed (and encouraged) here. Please use our regular threads to ask basic questions, ask questions about what card to get, or talk about MS. But if it's off-topic elsewhere, you're on-topic here.

Regular rules still apply. Read the rules!

Have fun!

Note: Posting and soliciting referrals are still not allowed.

Hello, I recently created Credit Stays (creditstays.com), a website that lets you map out, search and filter on hotels your premium travel card supports. I use it to find the best deals to use my card credits on and get the most out of churning.

I didn't even realize some of these cards had special collections and benefits. Here's the list of the cards and their corresponding collection(s).

I know there are existing sites out there but none of them currently have pricing information, which is generally the most important factor for me when trying to use my credits. You can filter on time ranges, number of days, and more. The prices are rough estimates because they are OTA prices, and not prices directly from the collections, so the real prices are usually a little more expensive and sometimes not available. However, these should get you in the right ballpark. I also use it to help plan multiple different stays nearby with different cards to get the most out of a trip. Feel free to let me know if you have any issues or feedback.
