Credit CardsAward TravelCash Back
Corgi is NextCard's chief editor and has 7 credit cards. Based in Philadelphia, he's highly experienced & enjoys earning all types of rewards, ranging from cashback to points. That said, Corgi is Team Points, meaning he would usually rather earn points than cashback.
Corgi's favorite credit cards are the:
- Ritz Carlton Card – awesome lounge benefits at PHL via Sapphire Lounge + free authorized users who also get the same lounge access benefits
- Chase Ink Business Preferred® – one of the few cards left that earns 3x on all travel purchases (including cruises, subways, etc.)
- Capital One Savor – for no annual fee, it earns well on popular categories like groceries & entertainment + the cashback can be turned into miles with the right partner card
Corgi's Favorite Award Redemption
Singapore Airlines business class from LAX-SIN for 87,500 Aeroplan points
