112. Best Ever or Big Mistake? 3 Steps to Evaluate if Best-Ever Welcome Offers are Right for You

A limited time elevated credit card bonus offer sounds amazing—so should you go for it?

In this episode, I break down how to evaluate elevated credit card welcome bonuses so you can make a smart, strategic decision. Using the current Chase Sapphire Preferred offer as a real-world example, I walk through the three questions you need to ask before jumping on any limited-time offer:

✔ Are you even eligible?

✔ How will this card fit into your overall points and travel goals?

✔ What’s the opportunity cost of applying right now?

Whether you’re new to points or deep in the game, this episode will help you avoid shiny bonus syndrome and make elevated offers work for you—not the other way around.
