New sub here. I am enjoying your content. Discover was my first card some 30 years ago (currently it is my supplemental card). Currently, I am looking for a card with better multipliers. Thinking about either the Chase Unlimited or Flex to start the Chase trifecta. Somewhere down the road I will probably get the Preferred since I want to travel more. Thanks for information.

Premium Travel. Just getting into all this. Looking to slow travel as a digital nomad. Your videos have been most informative. I have a Sapphire card and squandered the bonus. I'm considering the other 2 and keep my Sapphire. I guess my deciding factor will be partner transfers. That will take a bit of research on which will be best. Moving from Philly area to Orlando area. That will influence my decision. I will have to consider airlines out of airports down there.

Serious question…why do so many people bother making the Chase Trifecta? You can have the Chase Freedom Flex and the Sapphire Preferred or Reserve and you get everything in the trifecta except for 0.5 catch all points that you would get with the Freedom Unlimited. 0.5 isn’t that big of a deal and it’s fewer credit cards to think about and one less inquiry on the report.

Off topic about the Bilt Card, but I am very curious if it does eventually come through that we can use it for mortgage payments and earn if nothing else, points for transferring out to Hyatt, etc. Of course, if the answer is yes, some other benefit likely will go. I am very interested in seeing what happens.

CSR has a coupon book style too though. I love the card. I have it. Once you get past the $300 credit, you have to find ways to claw back the remaining $250 which includes DoorDash monthly credits just like Amex.

I'd like to see a video on the mathematics of why pursuing travel cards that get devalued regularly is better than cash back
@Daniel_BraunКүн бұрын
Good idea, I'll break it down with the math in a video! Cash back has a floor value and no upside (can still be good though when optimizing the spending categories at 3-5% back). Cards that earn flexible bank bank points have more upside if you know how to redeem them and can be flexible in travel plans (but not everyone wants to do this or learn this which is understandable).

That's about 30 minutes from my house. Because I don't want to touch the money. I don't want online banking because that is a feature for me.Because it means i'm going to touch the money less.There's an operating fee to get to the money, and that is going to help me separate it

Why is the platinum rated above others??? It's not prestigious or a good card for most the people who have it
@Daniel_Braun2 күн бұрын
It’s not rated above others - the annual fee is just higher and there’s more potential benefits. Thats sort of the idea with the credit card ladder and this video - as the annual fees increase, so do the potential benefits and value. But also the potential market gets narrower because not everyone will find the card good for their situation, like you said
@soapa42792 күн бұрын
Bilt is still a great entry level "travel" card even with all the recent devaluations. You can also redeem points at 1.25CPP through their portal, and even redeem it for activities like Disneyland tickets. And of course, if you pay rent, it's a no brainer card.

Love these kind of videos. Crazy how I’ve been doing credits cards all wrong for so many years. Because of videos like yours, I applied for the bilt Mastercard over a month ago. Approved and been digging it so far. I think once I’m ready to move on from my discover card (even though they have been great to me) might go Amex blue or chase sapphire. But at the moment bilt is working wonders
@erikk12422 күн бұрын
Me currently I’m currently on a beginner card I have a secured card with my local bank and got recently approved for the CFF and am looking into getting the CFU when I can. I really want to utilize the chase trifecta for traveling to help with a few of the expenses. I’m not sure if going for the BILT card once I get the CFU or wait and get the CSP? I rent so I feel like it would be more beneficial but I am also looking to travel next year in the summer. So I don’t know what would work better.
@Daniel_BraunКүн бұрын
I'd look to go with the CSP first because you can get the sign up bonus of at least 60,000 points after $4,000 of spend. If you're rent was $2,000 per month, you'd have to pay rent for 30 months to earn the same 60,000 Bilt points (obviously the higher your rent, the more valuable Bilt becomes). So Bilt is a nice card to add after going for Chase cards - but I'd prioritize Chase and Capital One first in my opinion

Most cards that are grocery stores don’t work on superstores like Walmart and target but most work on supermarkets. It really depends what they categorize their business as.

Usually is recommended to get another credit card after 6 months of use with your first credit card. Your credit history would then average between both credit cards.

Chase cards make sense to get first while under the 5/24 rule. Then you can try out that setup for a year to see if you like it while getting those bonuses - and later on you can expand to other issuers like Capital One next and eventually Amex if those cards make sense with their credits

I’ve personally explored options in expanding my card setups in different bank/transfer partner ecosystems. So maybe getting the Amex Gold (very strong for groceries/dining) or the Chase Sapphire Preferred (decent amount of spending multipliers) to expand your options for transfer partners since you’re only in Capital One’s right now.
