Breaking Chase’s 5/24 Rule: Pros and Cons with Dr. Azra Khan Salahuddin
Episode Description
While there are mistakes to be made, there is no one right way of doing points. My guest this week knows this from firsthand experience. After she had found her feet in the world of points, she took a risk by deviating away from Chase’s points ecosystem and started exploring other options in the points space, and she has tons of insights to share about this decision.
Today, I’m joined by Dr. Azra Khan Salahuddin. Azra is a cancer rehab specialist in Indianapolis who started her points journey in earnest in June 2022. She’d had points-earning cards before then, and while she’s kicking herself for missing out on earning amazing rewards over those years, how she’s turned that around to maximize her points potential is a story everyone listening can learn from.
Tune in this week to discover the pros and cons of taking a step back from Chase’s ecosystem, so you can apply for more cards than Chase’s 5/24 rule (link) allows. We’re discussing what to consider when applying for new cards, the problem with running into FOMO on your points journey, and how to decide what’s best for you based on the travel you want to experience.
