If I strictly want to build up miles to fly would you recommend Amex gold or Chase sapphire preferred? I know with Chase it's higher per dollar for flying but Amex gold has higher per dollar for food and other things. So I can't choose haha

I have the same laptop and i can say yes crome is the ram killer XD

I applied and got denied as well. I have a 700+ credit score and this was my first time being denied by a card ever. When I asked why I was denied, they claim they couldn’t verify my identity and the documents that I sent in for verification was not valid despite following the instruction to send in pay stubs and year to dates.

👍🏿😊

Helpful video but you talk too fast.

What’s the best second card to get with Amex platinum to optimise the value?

Dope!

I pay my rent directly to my landlord through zelle, is there any way I can use BILT to do so? Really curious about this card

Maria - I have a Bank of America CC. What is the easiest way to transfer points in this card to use for travel such as flights as I travel overseas and would like to take advantage of potentially getting free or inexpensive flights?

Hi Maria! I really miss your videos and just wanted to say I loved your content-it’s always super cool and interesting! Hope everything’s going well with you. Sending lots of positive vibes from Brazil!

I am about to purchase the Celina Tumi bag and came across this video. Wanted to comment on how well put and helpful this video was. It helped solidified my decision on the celina bag. As a frequent traveler, thank you also for linking the multi-macbook charging block and the bluetooth adapter for the airpods! I didn't even know those existed! I just placed an order for the 3 items on Amazon. My bf will also be purchasing the same items as we are both frequent flyers. Thank you Maria!!

Can you guide me on how to use my Chase Preferred Points for Airfare?

If you’re not a tech person PLEASE DONT FUCKING TALK ABOUT TECH 🤦‍♂️

Does Bilt need a copy of your lease?

Hi, thank you for the great info. Is there such a thing as a points travel agent? Someone who you just pay a fixed fee and they find and show you the best way to spend your points?

Unbelievable! I want you to know that I’ve grown incredibly fast, moving from a Software Engineer to a Team Lead and then to a Software Engineer Manager within just three years. When I watched your video, I realized that I’ve done almost everything you mentioned without even realizing it.

Are you Introvert or Extrovert?

Currently my wife and I have a Delta Sky Miles card and it's been pretty straightforward, but we are looking to change and also do more travel. But typically how we get our points is by using the credit card for everything. I'm concerned if we get one credit card that's great for groceries and dining and use that for those things and then another card for say travel and other shopping, that we'll wind up with two cards with a mediocre amount of points not good for anything on their own. Obviously, combining the points would be best, but do they ALL combine? It sound like a complicated web of fine print to make sure that an AMEX card for buying groceries, as an example, will have points that can transfer to a Chase card for flying United. Can you elaborate?

...thank you...and bye 😂

Very informative! Thanks!

Amex Platinum 175,000 miles or $1,750 8k purchases on or before 6 months expires $695 annual fee. I want to go the Greek Islands and Munich + Bavaria by July to October 2025. I’d like to find a card that allows for seat 💺 upgrades or business to 1st class tickets. Is the above a good credit card💳 ?

I am 32M and I pretty much have zero to no such knowledge about credit cards, hence paying everything with my debit card (checking account). I always live under a fear of not being able to pay for things, so I spent very frugally and always kept a pile of cash aside and over the years, I was able to accumulate a net worth equivalent to top 3% in my age group. After watching this, I came to contemplate if I missed out on a lot of benefits I could've gotten over the years. Or would having credit cards really get me out of fear and to spend more than I need. I'm confused now whether I should start opening credit cards or not...

Any cards for Hilton Honors Members? 😊

Don't be an Engineering Manager, worst job ever.

Damm You are gorgeous.

if you buy online for Cars accessories do you erening point from Saphire Preferred?

I love your accent! I am learning German as well.

Nice!

dating in europe is better than NYC but europe as in germany, spain but not UK.

Are you doing any new credit cards recently I love your videos @maria

7000 points dont "turn into" 84000 points a year, they accumulate into that

I don't want to be jobless due to AI

Can this be done in Europe too? I'm an expat and would love to pay my rent with a credit card. All landlords however use direct debit and would never accept credit card.

Yea guys let’s send a rocket to the moon using ChatGPT’s code 😂

So amazing video! Thanks for sharing!

Hi!) Do you think 1 year of credit history is enough to get approved for Preferred or Reserve? ( 6 months Freedom Unlimited) Thank you!

The issue is actually the 512GB storage. Apple chose to provide lesser NAND chips which makes them ~half the speed of the 1TB model. Using swap is slower on your device because of this limitation. Hence, your video editing buffered.

Fuck that. After 2 years of getting no where, and barely able to code hellow world, I quit. It fucking sucked. I was horrible at it. Every line was a chore. No "ah ha" moments. No clicks. I could not come up with anyhting out of my own mind. 2 years of frustration for nothing.

very helpful, I would love to see more content with advice targeted towards new grads 🙏

What is this chick’s name ?

Thanks for the BILT wallet info

I’m single

Was looking for a better description about this card. Thank you

Thanks, the video was so interesting and helpful, you should follow making more videos like this

$2000 every month spending? Lol my salary is $1000 a month.

hey Maria. when will you pos the updated video showing the different flight and hotel hacks you've learned over the years? please do that and keep up the good work. i see the last video was posted a year back :(

Who the heck spends $800 a month on food and $0 on rent/mortgage?! 😂 My budget is $700 rent/utilities (I have roommates), $250 food, $100 cat, $200 gas, $150 misc... Rent is through PayPal. Idk how to get good cash back or points from my rent and utilities money because PayPal charges like 2% to use a credit card rather than a checking account.

My family is from Argentina! Do you find that the Tumi backpack straps are a bit long/you can't tighten them to make the backpack high enough? I love mine but want to try to get the straps altered because of this minor issue.

Did you die?

Can we connect need some guidance
