Napoli lead the chase for Empoli sensation

]

Nedim Bajrami has attracted interest from a number of Serie A clubs and Napoli are reportedly the favourites to sign the Empoli midfielder.

The Albania international has scored five goals and supplied four assists throughout the 2021/22 Serie A season so far, and he had also impressed in a Coppa Italia fixture in the previous campaign, scoring twice for the Tuscans in a 3-2 defeat against the Partenopei.

La Gazzetta dello Sport reports that Napoli are looking for a long-term replacement for their captain and talisman Lorenzo Insigne, who will join MLS club Toronto at the end of the season, and Bajrami is a player that the Neapolitans believe fits the profile of what they are looking for.

Lazio and Sassuolo are also keen to sign the 22-year-old. The Biancocelesti plan to make further squad reinforcements for Coach Maurizio Sarri while the Neroverdi need someone to fill the void left by the injured Filip Djuricic.

Last year, Chase made some sweeping changes to two of its most popular travel rewards credit cards. The Chase Sapphire Reserve® and Chase Sapphire Preferred® Card received improved bonus categories and benefits, including new travel perks for cardholders.

One of these updates was the announcement of several upcoming Chase Sapphire Lounge by The Club airport locations — including New York-LaGuardia (LGA), Boston (BOS), and Hong Kong (HKG). However, Chase didn’t reveal many other details at the time, other than Chase Sapphire Reserve® and Priority Pass members would get complimentary access and that lounges would be opened in collaboration with Airport Dimensions, a global lounge operator.

Now we have more information on where (and when) these lounges will be opening, with a total of five locations on deck so far. Here’s what to know if you’re eagerly awaiting the arrival of the Chase Sapphire Lounges.

We’re focused here on the rewards and perks that come with each card. These cards won’t be worth it if you’re paying interest or late fees. When using a credit card, it’s important to pay your balance in full each month, make payments on time, and only spend what you can afford to pay.

While previously American Express led the way with its proprietary Centurion Lounges, credit card branded airport lounge options continue to grow. Capital One recently launched its own, with the first Capital One Lounge now open at Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW) and more to follow at Denver (DEN) and Washington Dulles (IAD) airports.

With Chase entering the airport lounge space, cardholders will have more choices than ever if they’re looking for a stylish, comfortable spot to relax before a flight. As first reported by The Points Guy, there are now five Chase Sapphire Lounges planned for 2022 and 2023, at the following locations:

New York-LaGuardia — Terminal B

Boston — Terminal B to C connector

Hong Kong — Terminal 1

San Diego (SAN) — Terminal 2 West

Phoenix (PHX) — Terminal 4 South 1

The Phoenix lounge addition is very recent, and it will open in the airport’s brand-new concourse with a planned opening in the summer of 2022.

Chase Sapphire Lounges promise a premium experience, with amenities that include “access to exceptional, authentic and regionally inspired food, drink, art, entertainment, and wellness.” Chase’s lounges will face stiff competition at some of these airports, because New York, Phoenix, and Hong Kong also have Centurion Lounges, which are regarded by many as among the most upscale in the world.

Who can access Chase Sapphire Lounges?

As of now, Chase has said Chase Sapphire Reserve® cardholders and Priority Pass members will be able to access Chase Sapphire Lounges at no cost. It’s not yet known if other Chase credit cards, like the Chase Sapphire Preferred® Card, will allow access on a limited or discounted basis.

Considering there are nearly a dozen popular travel rewards credit cards that offer Priority Pass membership, it’s likely the new Chase Sapphire Lounges will be quite crowded with a less-exclusive feel than similar Centurion and Capital One lounge locations.

You can get unlimited complimentary Priority Pass** lounge visits with cards like The Platinum Card® from American Express (which also grants access to Centurion Lounges) or the Capital One Venture X Rewards Credit Card (which comes with Capital One airport lounge access). Because of this, there’s really not a huge incentive to open the Chase Sapphire Reserve® if Sapphire Lounge access is your main concern.

However, the Reserve a great card for other reasons, including a bonus of 50,000 points after you spend $4,000 on purchases in the first three months of account opening, up to $300 in travel credits each year, top-notch travel insurance, and high earning rates in popular categories.

Keep in mind the Chase Sapphire Reserve® comes with a $550 annual fee, so it’s not for everyone. If you’re looking for a card that offers Priority Pass membership (and eventual access to Sapphire Lounges) at a lower price point, be sure to look at the new Capital One Venture X Rewards Credit Card with an annual fee of $395. Here’s our Capital One Venture X review for all the details.

ST. JOHNS COUNTY, Fla. – A man led law enforcement on a chase across four counties after he refused to let his girlfriend out of the vehicle, according to the Florida Highway Patrol.

According to troopers, the Brevard County Sheriff’s Office called for assistance as deputies were chasing a vehicle for a case of false imprisonment. Investigators said the chase began when a woman tried to get out of the vehicle while it was still in motion.

A deputy attempted to stop the vehicle, but the driver took off, records show.

Troopers said they took over the pursuit as the chase entered Flagler County.

The driver lost control along Interstate 95, near State Road 207, and crashed in the grass shoulder, records show.

The driver — a 30-year-old man from Jacksonville — was arrested without incident, according to troopers, and the woman — a 29-year-old, also from Jacksonville — was found uninjured.

According to investigators, the woman was asking to leave the vehicle, but the driver would not let her.

He is now booked into the St. Johns County jail. Troopers did not provide his identity or what charges he may be facing.

Chase has steadily grown its portfolio of business credit cards and this time around, it’s launching the Chase Ink Business Premier card. At $195 per year, the card is designed to attract business owners whose large purchases and high monthly spending will allow them to earn up to 2.5 percent unlimited cash back.

The sleek metal design and the higher rates of cash back for larger purchases signal that this rewards card is geared toward more established business owners that will take advantage of this charge card’s features.

In essence, cardholders will pay the balance in full each month without paying interest. At the same time, they will rack up rewards that can be redeemed for cash and a number of other awards like travel, Amazon.com purchases and more. In other words, it’s a generous line of credit that also offers cash back—a win-win situation for business owners.

What does the Chase Ink Business Premier offer?

The Chase Ink Business Premier’s most attractive feature is the opportunity to earn unlimited cash back, plus there are other perks that add to the card benefits:

Rewards rate : Unlimited 2 percent cash back on every purchase; unlimited 2.5 percent total cash back on every purchase of $5,000 or more; unlimited 5 percent total cash back on travel purchased through Chase Ultimate Rewards

Unlimited 2 percent cash back on every purchase; unlimited 2.5 percent total cash back on every purchase of $5,000 or more; unlimited 5 percent total cash back on travel purchased through Chase Ultimate Rewards Welcome bonus : $1,000 cash back on $10,000 in business purchases in the first three months of account opening

$1,000 cash back on $10,000 in business purchases in the first three months of account opening Flex for Business : Flexibility to pay for eligible purchases over time with interest—up to their Flex for Business limit

Flexibility to pay for eligible purchases over time with interest—up to their Flex for Business limit Travel protections : No foreign transaction fees; trip cancellation/interruption insurance; trip delay reimbursement; baggage delay insurance; auto rental collision damage waiver

No foreign transaction fees; trip cancellation/interruption insurance; trip delay reimbursement; baggage delay insurance; auto rental collision damage waiver Additional protections: Fraud, zero liability, purchase, extended warranty protection and cellphone protection

How is the Chase Ink Busines Premier different from other Chase business credit cards?

Earning rewards

The rewards structure is designed to help business owners earn more on larger purchases. Although you can earn 2 percent back on all purchases, you stand to earn 2.5 percent back on purchases over $5,000 or more. Then, when you spend on travel in the Chase Ultimate Rewards portal, you can earn 5 percent back. There’s no limit on how much you can earn and the rewards don’t expire as long as your account is active.

Redeeming rewards

Rewards can be redeemed like those on a travel credit card in the Chase Ultimate Rewards portal, as well as on Amazon.com and PayPal purchases, gift cards to over 175 brands, Apple products and more.

Chase’s first pay-in-full business card

The Chase Ink Business Premier card is a charge card—meaning the full balance must be paid at the end of each billing cycle. As Chase puts it, “Chase Ink Business Premier will be the first Pay in Full business credit card with built-in flexibility for greater spend potential and rich rewards to be offered by Chase.”

However, like many charge cards have done recently, there’s also the option to pay some purchases off over time. With the Flex for Business feature, cardholders can pay off purchases over $500, with interest, over time.

Who would benefit from the Chase Ink Business Premier card?

This card is ideal for business owners who don’t mind paying a higher annual fee for access to what essentially amounts to a line of credit with rewards. If you are a business owner who can route large amounts of expenses through your business credit card each month, the Chase Ink Business Premier card stands to provide a generous amount of cash back while saving tons on interest payments.

For these reasons, we find this card is not suited for solopreneurs or smaller businesses that have monthly and annual revenues on the lower end. In fact, the card really seems to be more of a marketing tool to get business owners into Chase’s pipeline for more sophisticated financial products that large business owners tend to need more of than smaller business owners. This isn’t a bad thing, but it means that not every business owner will be ready for this kind of business credit card.

If you feel like this card is a bit out of your league, there are plenty of other Chase business credit cards you can apply for—many with a lower annual fee or no annual fee, no requirement to pay down the balance monthly and the opportunity to earn Chase Ultimate Rewards points:

Plus, there are other issuers like American Express, Bank of America, Capital One or even Citi that also offer a wide range of business credit cards to meet your needs.

However, if you meet the criteria for this card and have an existing relationship with a Chase Business Relationship Manager, you can sign up for the Chase Ink Business Premier’s waitlist for an application when the card becomes available.
