Finally! @Chase is quietly fixing one of the most annoying things about its cards. AUs will now receive individual card numbers, which makes spend tracking + card management much simpler. My (free) newsletter subscribers heard it first. Subscribe here: newsletter.fromthetraytable.com

For the first time in 2026, I have 0 unread text messages. That’s the beauty of taking a 4-hour flight on a Monday night when everyone is sleeping and you already caught up on all your work.
