ADDITIONAL INFO

Hi! I'm a college student trying to maximize my credit card spend to cashback/travel rewards. I tend to shop online a lot, pay for food/gas, and am hoping to travel more next year. I would like to close my Apple Card too and am looking at the benefits of the Chase Trifecta/AMEX for travel. I saw that Chase has a promotional offer for Freedom Unlimited and Freedom Flex for $200 after $500 spend so it seemed like a good time to open an account. Is there anything else I should consider? I have a HYSA+Fidelity accounts too, not sure if that's relevant and I pay off all my cards on time - never carried any debt. Thanks for the help!
