March 2025: Best Ways to Earn Credit Card Points Every Month
Monthly Rewards Recap: How Many Points Did I Earn
March was such a long and strenuous month. For points earning, I focused on the Chase Freedom card and earning points by purchasing groceries. Capital One re-partnered with JetBlue, so I made a transfer to them to earn the transfer bonus. Finally, I learned a major lesson.
Sometimes, you transfer points to a partner airline, and the flight will not be available to book. Yes, I’m speaking about my Alaska Airlines transfer.
My points earning was not bad this month, but I should see a great increase next month once I pay my taxes.
| Reward Program | February 2025 Points | March 2025 Points | How? |
| American Express Membership Rewards | 85,509 | 72,955 | I transferred points, thinking I was going to book a flight to Guatemala. It did not go well because the flights could not able to be booked via Alaska Airlines. Each time I tried, I got an error message. I even called, and they were not able to book it. |
| Chase Ultimate Rewards | 19,347 | 26,339 | I made sure to put as many grocery purchases onto my Chase Freedom card, so I got 5x the points in addition to the hair and nail salon purchases. |
| Delta Skymiles | 64,222 | 22,216 | I booked roundtrip tickets to PVR and flights to Florida using points and cash. |
| Bilt Rewards | 13,767 | 16,438 | Rent and Snack purchases. I went out to eat on Rent Day, so I was able to earn extra rewards. |
| United Airlines | 7,125 | 7,125 | No Change |
| JetBlue Airways | 18,140 | 24,740 | Since Chase had a transfer bonus to JetBlue, I transferred 1000 Chase points to JetBlue and got 5600 additional points as part of the bonus. |
| American Airlines | 8,613 | 8,613 | No change |
| Capital One | 46,232 | 53,547 | Regular Purchases and some shopping offers. |
March 2025 Review
This may have been the first time I did not travel at all for the month. I really wanted to go to Guatemala; however, I could not book the Alaska Airlines flight work. I changed my Scuba Diving trip around to make sure that I could include a friend so I would not dive alone.
April 2025 Credit Card Poins Earning Goals
My goal is to pay taxes this month so that I can earn the sign-up bonus for the Chase Business Unlimited that I opened. I am heading to Florida for my scuba diving certification, so I will be able to earn points on the stay and cabs.
I am a little upset about the Lyft and Delta partnership ending that is ending on April 7 as that is my main mode of transportation when flying.
