Yup. Sometimes even after showing them the math, they still don’t think it’s a great deal.

If you don’t value any of the other perks (priority pass for example), you can just look at the point redemption. The 1pt/$ earn (worth at least 1.5 cents) isn’t all that great, so I’d focus on the 3pt/$ earn on travel/dining (worth at least 4.5 cents, so you can view that as a minimum 4.5% earn in those…
$150, since it comes with a $300 travel credit. Sign up bonus is 100k points. Also comes with a higher earn on meals and travel than its younger sibling, the Sapphire Preferred. And with priority pass access + guest privileges and other perks.
The flip side to this is that sometimes rewards can increase in value. For example, anyone who sat on Chase Ultimate Rewards points and then opened a Chase Sapphire Reserve card saw a 20% increase in the value of their existing points when redeemed for travel through the UR portal (from 1.25 cents apiece to 1.5…

Smells fake. How do you drop a wallet like this and not notice? How do you leave a phone on top of a car and not notice? Why was it even there in the first place? How did it hang on for so long without some kind of adhesive?
Nope, I have no authority, and nor do you. However, if you are entitled to pick on writers for their totally valid word choices, then I am entitled to be annoyed by it.

Webster says the first known use of the word “smoothen” was in 1636, so this isn’t exactly some 21st century slang that found its way into the dictionary.

Isn’t that what every President does? When job numbers were down, Obama would blame inheriting an economic mess. When they’re up, it’s because of his policies. That’s just politics.
Democrats controlled both houses from 2007 through 2010, and have controlled the Senate up until 2015. The idea that Congress would have blocked Obama for 8 years is completely false. In fact, the ACA was passed due to the fact that Democrats controlled the white house and both houses of Congress.

From that parent’s perspective, you are the intolerant one.
Thanks for the welcome, but I’ve been reading LifeHacker long before you worked here.
The core concept that I’m saying people should generally understand is that they shouldn’t agree to things that they don’t understand. Are you suggesting that someone who falls “victim” to some consumer-unfriendly bank offering doesn’t understand even that? They don’t understand that they shouldn’t sign things that…
