Kristen’s favorite credit cards

“I love the simplicity of the Chase trifecta: the Chase Sapphire Preferred® Card, Chase Freedom Flex℠ and Chase Freedom Unlimited®. I’m not loyal to any particular brands, so I love being able to take my pick of Chase transfer partners. I’m an occasional traveler — mostly road-tripping to compete in dog sports events throughout the Pacific Northwest. I can earn back my annual fee and more with this setup each year.”

The information related to the Chase Freedom Flex℠ and Chase Freedom Unlimited® has been independently collected by LendingTree and has not been reviewed or provided by the issuer of this card prior to publication. Terms apply.
