    Today, I'm chatting with Chris, the host of the top ranked podcast All The Hacks.

    In this episode we discuss when cash back might be the way to go, when to consider other points strategies aside from sign up bonuses, why $11,000 might be better than 1,000,000 points and so much more!

    One card to consider if you want a cash back card is the Chase Freedom Flex Card.
