Don't throw away your snail mail and pay attention to the "promotions" tab in your Gmail, including the ads.Sometimes the best credit card signup bonuses are targeted (both paper mail and email) and will result in more bonus points than the offers you can find online.Also, if you have a Chase bank account but you don't have one or more of the foundational Chase cards (Freedom, Sapphire Reserve, etc.), walk into a branch and let them know you're looking to open a new card.Branches and bankers are obviously evaluated based on their ability to open new accounts, and they may be motivated to give you a special offer.For example when my wife got a Chase card she got double the sign-up bonus in-branch than what was being advertised online at the time.If they present you with just the commonly-available offers, let them know that you'll just open it online because it's easier and will result in the same bonus anyway.If it looks like you're going to walk away, the banker may be able to give you a better bonus in order to not lose credit for your account opening.Of course they may not have the authority to do so but it's worth a shot.

Hi, All:I know this has been addressed in the past but I wanted to share my experience and get some feedback on others' interactions with Freedom Mentor.I've been seeking a mentor in REI for a while and have been watching Phil's videos on YouTube for years so I sought his 'mentorship' via his Freedom Mentor Program.

There is some noise in this comment, but overall I appreciate it, especially on LinkedIn, where everything is an echo chamber of "I help create passive income for busy professionals", "Invest like the rich", "create financial freedom through real estate".
