The Best Credit Cards to Purchase your Amazon Favorites
There are 3 transferable point programs that have credit cards that work great for Amazon purchases. These programs are American Express, Chase, and Citi. Each program has credit cards that earn 1.5-2X points per Amazon transaction.
For those wanting to earn Chase points, look no further than the Chase Freedom Unlimited. Cardmembers earn 1.5% cash back on all transactions, and 3% cash back on all transactions in the first year for new cardmembers. If you also have the Chase Sapphire Reserve or Chase Sapphire Preferred, the cash back that you earn can be converted into Chase points.
Another personal credit card to use for Amazon purchases is the Citi Double Cash. This cards earns 1% cash back when you make a purchase and 1% cash back when you pay your bill. In total, cardmembers earn 2% cash back per transaction. Cash back earned can be converted into Citi points if you have the Citi Premier or the Citi Prestige.
The American Express Blue Business Plus is the best business credit card to use for Amazon purchases. This card earns 2X Amex points per transaction and is great for those of you who want to earn Amex points.
Another business credit card to check out is the Chase Ink Business Preferred. The cash back earned from the Freedom Unlimited can be converted into Chase points if you have the Ink Business Preferred.

Casino Royale
Ian Fleming does an incredible job telling this story in the first James Bond book in the series. The movie by the same name is incredible and so was the book. I covered this book in more detail in my September book list.
Maruman 1 Hardcover Executive Notebook
Kevin Rose continually shares a number of esoteric things that he enjoys. One of these things is notebooks. The Maruman Notebook is one that he loves and is the best notebook I’ve ever used. If you’re in need of a notebook, snag this one.
Live and Let Die
The second book in the James Bond series is Live and Let Die. The plot is as wild as the villain. If you’re looking for my review, this book is covered in more detail in the September book list.
Legion Whey Protein Powder
I’ve tried a fair number of whey proteins and finally settled on Legion Whey. Mike Vacanti, who train use for training, recommends this protein that has no artificial ingredients or fillers commonly found in other whey proteins.
Moonraker
The third book in the James Bond series is Moonraker. I wasn’t blown away by the plot so it’s hard for me to recommend this book. If you’re looking for my review, check it out in my September book list.
Canon Battery Pack
I use the Canon G7X to film the majority of our trips that I then turn into vlogs. This Canon battery is expensive, but it’s worth the cost. I’ve tried the knock off version and the battery will not last.
Manfrotto PIXI EVO
Jody Johnston, 1/2 is the Arbor Films duo who filmed our wedding, recommended the Manfrotto PIXI to use for my vlogs. This rig is stable, sturdy, and works great as a tripod.
BAGSMART Electronic Organizer
For our Lisbon, Marrakech, Porto, and Sahara Desert trip, I snagged the BAGSMART organizer. It’s compact and worked well to keep my accessories, batteries, and chargers all in one place.
