Thankfully, I have stumbled upon a strategy that effectively softens the financial impact of this expense. This technique involves applying for 2-3 credit cards right before property tax season in order to generate generous sign up bonuses that can be redeemed for free flights. In this blog post, I outline the steps on how you can employ this strategy yourself.

Chase is currently giving spending bonuses for streaming services. If you own the Chase Sapphire Reserve®, you will get 10X per dollar, on up to $1,500, until September 30th. If you have the Chase Sapphire Preferred® Card, the bonus is 5X per dollar. So if you plan to purchase Apple products soon like an iPhone or the latest Macbook, I suggest that you capitalize on this opportunity to get 10X per dollar.
