Maximizer Tips:

1. If you are an Amazon Prime member with Prime Visa card from Chase, you may consider using Chase Freedom during quarter because in some instances Chase Freedom points are worth more redeeming.
2. To maximize your rewards earnings, don’t forget to check out standard rewards on your card at https://www.cardquarterly.com/always-on-rewards/
3. Given the gas prices where they are now, it might be worth downloading and sign-up for individual gas brand apps. We like the BP app and love to mobile unlocking of the pump feature. It usually gives 5c off per gallon right at the pump. Make sure you have Discover IT card in the default payments position.

Watch Out!!

1. Gas purchases at Costco, Sams and BJs would not qualify for Disover 5%.
2. Caution for TURO: Rental vehicles from TURO are NOT covered by most auto insurance companies and most major credit card CDW programs. As a matter of fact, we have not found any auto insurance company or card issuer that covers TURO rentals. There are insurance options from TURO through a major auto insurance company, but it is not clear whether the renting party is fully protected as he or she would have with their own auto insurance. Make sure you fully understand before renting from TURO.
