DSAD Memorial Day Edition: Expired Domains, $1 Billion BTC short, and Google Search Dying
did I say great domains at auction ?

It’s kind of like talking about Fight Club, people are afraid it will go away, but the Chase Business Ink card gives 5% back on GoDaddy purchases, up to $25,000 per year. Getting 2% is easy. There are quite a few like Capital One Spark, Citi Double Cash, Amex Blue Business Cash. All which give unlimited 2% back.
For larger domain investors, the $25K cap goes fast, but that’s $1,250 in free money and 3% better than most credit cards. Anyone earning less than 2% cash back isn’t managing their credit cards properly.
If I were one of these registrars, I’d actually offer 1% or even 2% back for using stablecoin crypto, just to help offset credit card fees. GoDaddy could save millions by accepting crypto and offering a rebate for using it. Stablecoin is cheap and, as the name says, stable.
What are some credit cards you use that give good cash back for registrar or domain-related spending?
