In the age of technology, it is all about the accessories and the newest electronic that you can get your hands on. And more often than not when the newest electronic comes in town it doesn’t come with our wallets looking their best. The cost of what we pay for the newest electronic has now become an adventure. What if I told you there was a way to get your next APPLE device for almost nothing and you get to use your credit card to do it. I’m not talking about cheap. I’m talking about free. Stay with me for a moment and I’ll show you how I got the latest MacBook Pro for free and an Amazon payment that reduced the cost of a free iPhone to about $10 as well.
Just imagine the thrill of opening that gorgeous new MacBook box and, upon powering it up, finding that you now have an iPhone too. There’s no need to pay a thousand dollars for 32 gigs of storage when your Hulu shows could come with a credit card, too. It’s a tech geek fantasy come true.
It turns out you can if you start by signing up for a Chase Ultimate Rewards points-earning card such as the Chase Sapphire Preferred Card, which offers 75,000 bonus points if you at least spend a stipulated amount in the first few months and have an eligible card previously (your heart.) Now you have the keys to the kingdom, which means you now have an APPLE product in your sights. If it’s an APPLE MacBook Pro you want with the $4,000-plus price, the card will get you the Mac. But the points will also get you almost a free iPhone – or get you a free iPad.
APPLE and Chase’s partnership brings an APPLE store within the Chase Ultimate Rewards portal, so you can knock all those digital lusts off your wish list simply by redeeming your points for APPLE. You will get a lot of bang for your buck if you save up enough points in one streak: with 79,000, for instance, you can knock down a MacBook Air, LED-backlit 13.3‑inch display, 8GB of memory and 256GB of flash storage. You can also find a prepaid bonus that increases your points’ value when you buy certain things at certain times of year. The value of those points can be immense.
And if, like so many of us, you’re sick and tired of being beholden to companies for their fickle goodwill, especially when they also keep you in the dark as to how they might retaliate for your presumption in thinking you could escape, converting your points to cash means you can spend them – or hide them away – according to your own desires. You can put it towards saving for that longed-for iPhone or iPad, or you can splurge on just one if you so choose. The transfer to your account happens quickly and efficiently, like a peeled banana on a hot summer’s day. And so, on another unexpectedly clear October morning, our hands found their way back into our pockets and the open road called to us.
It’s easy to move points into products or cash through Chase Ultimate Rewards. A MacBook Pro free after spending $2,000 + $500 for a free iPhone! I love how bank cards empower you!
The past four years have been a fun journey, stretching the Chase Ultimate Rewards points to the limits by knowing I can buy tech goodies in lieu of my usual travel decadence. Sure, the points get me to a new destination for a Delta flight or Hyatt stay (or even a ticket to a West End show with friends in the UK). But it is just as satisfying to know that I can go beyond that and scratch the tech itch, eventually saving on technology gear. This has added a new dimension to my gadgetry and there could be a new way to stay abreast of technologies.
