Earn 5x on grocery store purchases with Chase cards!

While Chase has excelled in offering bonus cashback on categories like restaurant, travel, and gas purchases with their cards, one of the areas where they've been deficient on are grocery store purchases.  And as Citi just announced changes to their Premier card that will soon earn 3x on grocery store purchases, the ball is now in Chase's court.  And Chase just delivered with flying colors by offering either 5x or 3x on grocery store purchases for their annual fee cards through June 30, 2020!


The following cards will automatically earn 5x starting today (no activiation required):
Chase Sapphire Reserve5X points
United Club5X miles
United Club Infinite5X miles
United Presidential Plus5X miles
And the following will automatically earn 3x starting today (no activation required):
Chase Sapphire Preferred3X points

Southwest Rapid Rewards Plus3X points
Southwest Rapid Rewards Premier3X points
Southwest Rapid Rewards Priority3X points
United Explorer3X miles
United MileagePlus3X miles
United MileagePlus Awards3X miles
United MileagePlus Select3X miles
There is a cap of $1,500 on grocery store spending per card, per month.  This means that if you have multiple Chase cards, you could combine the monthly cap to $3,000 for 2 cards, $4,500 for 3 cards, and so on.


Bottom line

Although it's a limited time promo good through June 30, it's great to see Chase finally offer bonus grocery store cashback on their annual fee cards.  This also comes at a very convenient time for most of us as we are spending a substantial amount at grocery stores during the COVID-19 pandemic.  No activation is required and the maximum caps are generous, so it's a no-brainer to start using your Chase cards at grocery stores unless you have the Amex Gold card, which always earns 4x at grocery stores, or the Chase Freedom, which earns 5x at grocery stores this quarter only.

Park Hyatt Sydney review

Image
For our trip to Australia's east coast, we started off with a 4-night stay in Sydney.  We decided to stay at the Park Hyatt Sydney as it has been consistently rated as one of the best Hyatt luxury properties worldwide.  The hotel, located in the heart of Sydney Harbor at the Rocks, is famous for its stunning views of the Opera House and Harbour Bridge. Price As a category 8 hotel, the Park Hyatt Sydney is Hyatt's most expensive award category ranging from 35k-45k points per night.  Fortunately, since we were traveling during Australia's "slower" winter season, we were able to get off-peak rates of 35k for most of our nights in a standard 1 King Bed room. Seeing how the hotel's standard rooms were over $700 a night during our stay, this was a pretty good redemption value at well over 2 cents per point.  This hotel is also known for releasing tons of free night award space, even during peak travel times.  This is atypical for many Hyatt top-tier hotels such as t

Citi temporarily adds American Airlines as a mileage transfer partner!

Image
In a surprise move, Citi has added American Airlines as a transfer partner for their ThankYou Points (TYP) earning credit cards.  What's especially intriguing is that even no annual fee cards that normally don't offer transfers to loyalty programs are eligible for this new and temporary partnership, albeit at a lower transfer ratio.  Citi's premium line of cards, including the Prestige and the Premier, both have 1:1 transfer capability with AAdvantage miles (1,000 TYP = 1,000 AAdvantage miles).  Whereas no annual fee cards, including the ThankYou Preferred and the Rewards+, get a 2:1 transfer ratio (1,000 TYP = 500 AAdvantage miles).  This transfer partnership is valid from July 18 through November 13, though one could speculate that it could be extended. American Airlines AAdvantage program was the only loyalty program out of the three U.S. legacy carriers that didn't have a 1:1 transfer partner with any credit card accounts.  Delta has long been a transfer partner wit
