Let's talk about Credit Cards! A lot of people are scared of using credit cards even though they're super useful tools. I'm making a Credit Card 101 series to explain how credit cards work. For this video, let's start with the BASICS. First, we'll talk about what credit cards are and how they differ from debit cards and prepaid cards. Then, we'll talk about the types of cards, some basic credit card terms, and the pros and cons of getting one. If you decide that you want to get a credit card, we'll also talk about the application requirements and how to choose and apply for one.
Hopefully, this video levels up your finance powers to give you a better understanding of how to use Credit Cards properly! Wag matakot sa utang. Credit cards are fun and beneficial as long as you learn how to use them properly and responsibly 😄✨💳

I know a lot of people are scared of credit cards, but I personally think everyone should have one because it's a super useful money tool! I got my first credit card almost two years ago and I think I've learned enough to make a video explaining how it works 💳 Hopefully this video levels up your finance brain powers and helps you guys understand credit cards better! I'll make more credit card videos pa so feel free to comment other questions you have 😄✨🍞 - How I got a Credit Card as a Student (2020) - kzbin.info/www/bejne/rXraYYOQrtx_pNU - Get 1 month free trial of Skillshare: skl.sh/nicolealba03221 💳 Apply for Citibank Credit Cards - Rewards bit.ly/3upS68U - Simplicity+ bit.ly/3Gq9Ao7 - Cash Back bit.ly/3uxoGpk

[@aliloreno]

Hi @Nicole ! Where do you typically see the details on the rewards and value of the card?

[@wigglygaming2742]

Hi Nicole, I just want to ask that which one is better to use BPI or PNB and on credit or debit. Since BPI and PNB are the only option for my salary to be received. This money will only be used to pay for my tuition. How much money should I spend, like I shouldn't spend everything that this card have for my tuition right? Is there a percentage limitation to spend? Does my question make sense lol

[@isebalee1671]

I got a pre-approved cc from BDO with a six digit limit last year. I was 21 then and still a student (til now). Bc of that, I learned how to use it responsibly. It actually made my finance system more organized and I became more disciplined, contrary to the preconceived notions. I always pay in full before the due date. Good thing also, I got the No Annual Fee For Life 💖 Kaya wag matakot sa cc, you can use it to your advantage!

[@review010]

Since may minimum base income requirement, ano po ba work nyu or things that you did to get appproved?

[@isebalee1671]

@@review010 I really didn't apply for it. BDO just sent me one without my consent lol 🤣 But as a background, I usually have a consistent cashflow, around 12k per week (got it from SEO freelance work). I don't store my money sa BDO savings acc kasi ang baba ng interest hahaha pero maybe my cash flow was their basis kung bakit pinadalhan ako ng cc.

When I resigned from my previous work where we used BPI for payroll, I continued using my BPI debit card as a savings account. Around 2 years later, BPI offered me BPI Gold because of my stable and continuous transactions in my payroll/savings account. And that is me not owning any credit card before even a secured credit card.

Nice video, more power to your channel. I’m living here is South Korea and recently I was offered with credit card and that’s the very first credit card in my whole life. At first I was excited for points, cash back, discounts but as I made a research and ask those who own both debit and credit card here they almost usually say the same as what you say. And it makes me confuse, why would I want a credit card when I could actually afford what I want to purchase in the first place.
