A place to hear updates about happenings in the churning space. I am using the term churning loosely here as I plan to share updates on bank/fintech updates, SUBs for banks and CCs I think are worth highlighting, and other topics related to the finance sphere I will also have an accompanying written companion for each episode on my site https://fearthez.wordpress.com/ as well as on the Simple Finances blog https://blog.simplefinances.net/fearthez/ Heavily inspired by https://thedailychurnpodcast.com with love Business email: churnersdigest@gmail.com Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/churners-digest/support

Not to mention my BofA spend this year went way up now that I have my ⁠curve strategy. Gold would net me $135 after the AF ($6500 *3% -  $60 = $135 net per year), plus that $135 would not vest for 5 years. 5 years of IRA contributions would get me to Platinum Honors and at that point only one year of my $135 IRA match would be vested  My referral Wealthfront 4.8% w/ .5% boost with referral (up to 6 month stack) & ATM network My referral Fidelity Bloom 5%, cash management account ATM reimbursement, not FDIC insured but SIPC which does not cover SPAXX dropping HMBradley 4.7%, requires positive cash flow & $500 deposit, & $500 spend on CC, BofA does not support for AutoPay Moving all Autopays and DD to Wealthfront --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/churners-digest/support
