[The Points Guy]( WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW TODAY Mar 25, 2023 PICKING YOUR NEXT CREDIT CARD A few days ago, I mentioned in the newsletter that I open a new credit card every few months because it’s a great way to quickly earn a large number of points or miles. It does take some planning and thought to figure out exactly which card to open next. Next time you’re looking to open a new credit card, take some time to determine the answers to these questions when deciding on a good candidate: - What are the[current best sign-up bonus offers]( - Do I meet the[bank’s application rules]( - Can I easily reach the[minimum spending requirement]( - Is my[credit score]( high enough to be approved for the card I want? - What are some[possible redemptions]( I can make with the sign-up bonus points? Answering these questions can help you identify the best credit card for you to maximize points earning and help you take that next bucket list trip. Here are a few posts with more guidance on selecting your next credit card: - [Even experts need advice: How I chose my next credit card with help from fellow TPGers]( - [Have all of the popular credit cards?
