It’s Free Money [1] Friday! Next up on the list of categories to maximize cash back: the cable/satellite bill!
I went through my stack of credit cards and stumbled on a Chase Ink card that I got a long time ago (it was a replacement for a different card, but I don’t remember which one) but never used.
I called to talk to Chase about it and they told me that while mine didn’t have any cash back, I could convert it to another Chase Ink card. Works for me!
Reoccurring bills don’t show up on the quarterly 5% rotation cash rewards [2] credit cards, so it’s nice to find another category we can get cash back on every month!
