Before I get to the “meat course” of the post, here is a ranty appetizer. So, occasionally, finance blogs will have an article on a  credit card  sign-up bonus, like current $550 incentive on Chase Sapphire Preferred.

I wanted to give you a quick reminder on this deal and why you should definitely consider it, especially if you happen to have Citi Prestige or plan to apply for one in a near future. Few days ago, I went ahead and pulled the trigger and opened CitiGold checking account in both mine and…
