What SavvX noticed
Activate your Discover 5% — you're leaving $120/yr on the table
Discover it Cash Back has 5% rotating bonus categories ($1,500 cap/quarter) that require manual activation. Looking at your last 12 months, three quarters were missed — about $120 in extra cash back you could have earned.
Move groceries and gas off your debit card — worth about $434/yr
Most of your $7,200 grocery and $2,400 gas spend ran through your debit card in the last 12 months, earning nothing. Routing it to the right cards closes about $434/yr of the gap — and the first $192 needs no new card at all, just Double Cash (2%).
A no-fee Chase Freedom Flex would add $243/yr
Based on your category mix, Freedom Flex's 5% rotating bonuses (gas Q2, groceries Q1, online Q3, PayPal Q4) line up well with where you actually spend. $0 annual fee, $200 sign-up bonus, and the 3% on dining + drugstores stack with your existing wallet.
