If you love getting maximum value out of your travel credit cards that have an annual fee, there’s one time of year that can feel absolutely magical: December.

Why? Because certain cards reset their benefits each calendar year — which allows travelers like us to unlock hundreds of extra dollars in value: double dipping and sometimes even triple dipping your credits.

I constantly get requests for a card that checks these boxes:

✔️ No annual fee

✔️ Not a business credit card

✔️ Low minimum spend

 If that sounds like you, the Chase Freedom Unlimited® is absolutely worth a look right now!

Here’s a full breakdown of the current offer, benefits, and whether the Freedom Unlimited is right for you!

In this guide, we’ll walk you through what Bilt points are, how they work, and the simplest ways to start earning them today — all without opening the credit card.
