Happy Memorial Day cards!

Happy Memorial Day weekend ...
For the long weekend, I am planning on exploring the local neighborhoods and get some local flavor. But before that, I was casually scanning the credit card landscape for any exciting offers.
The Citi cards from the previous posts are still available.
Chase has some good cards that are available for the next few days:
One is the chase business card:
The ink plus card is a good card but this year they have introduced it with an annual fee of $95 where as usually they do not have an annual fee for this card. But the points are now increased to 60k instead of the regular 50k. So kind of the 10k point offsets the $95 annual fee. Any individual can qualify as a self employed business. You just have to provide your SSN and address and mention your current income as self employed one.
The other exciting card from Chase is a long time stalwart .. it is a good United/Continental Card and has decent benefits. The annual fee is waived which is usually $95 while the bonus points have increased from 30k to 40k to now 50k!
Other than that really nothing much going on in the credit card landscape. For those with Excellent credit score, visit capitalone.com as there flagship Spark branded Credit cards have a high 50k offer that is on for some time. Nothing super exciting about this card. But if you got nothing better to do and want to have a fun side hobby which lets you travel for free - go for it!
I am posting less on this site these days as I have ramped up my general finance blog site which will address the philosophy of finance to the millenials and Gen X and Gen Y crowd. Granted there are tons of resources out there but there is nothing that is clear cut and to the point. I am planning on automating most of finance and have a general gist of finance which will them remain consistent for the next several decades and require only minor tweaks.
