lol yup i’m a senior about to be 18 and i feel so confident in this whole system now 👍

[@jaredthompson3002]

I don’t think enough people give thanks to the credit card influencers/content creators because without them I would have no idea how to use a credit card or where to start. Thank you so much to all.

[@TickleMeElmo55]

Yea, out of all the content on YT finance content creators are useful.

[@OroborusFMA]

By using the right credit cards with the right bonus categories I get 5% off on gas, 5% off on travel, 5% off on utilities and streaming services, 5% off on groceries, etc., etc. Combine with specials, coupons, etc., and inflation doesn't exist in much of my world. And they often offer on-time special offers like 10% off your local grocery store chain. This weekend I used a 20% off at Old Navy to buy a new belt. And I still got 1.5% on the card for the remainder so it was like 21.5% off. My CVS drugstore often gives me a "40% off any one item" and then my credit card has a 10% off at CVS. Fifty percent off one purchase! Game the system!

[@3xinarow990]

Wat credit card gives you 10% off at CVS?

[@3xinarow990]

And wat credit cards do you use to get 5% off each category?

[@LK_EBM]

​@@3xinarow990It was probably a targeted Chase offer.

[@jemry1990]

You must feel like a financial king

[@agag2684]

​@@3xinarow990some credit cards have offers/discounts when you log into your account. You just have to turn them on

I get compliments on my credit score and my credit card knowledge all the time, whenever possible I recommend this channel first, keep it up bro 👌

Thanks for that David I appreciate that brother

You are one of the most sophisticated and brilliant KZbinr/content creator I watch, and 1million percent the very best in finance. I appreciate all of your content thank you for *Prime consultant 001* much love from Chicago

[@Jungernaut]

Thank you so much ❤️

[@__tebane7]

I’m a huge fan of your channel! My credit card journey started back in October 2022, and I have a pretty good set up with all the credit cards I need! Your videos have helped me go in the right order, being able to hit all my welcome bonus offers and all the points and miles that come with that. I look forward to do some traveling in 2024 so credit card have really been an awesome addition to my finance strategies. You do have to be financially responsible and very well educated to get the most out of them, and you’re helping us get there!

[@pop_tart92]

This is such an OUTSTANDING video! I feel like I’m so late to the game being 31 and from the Caribbean learning about credit so late. I’m already in debt and I’m trying to figure out how to get my ish together. Thank you for this!

[@Jungernaut]

It's never too late to start! ❤️

[@EthanPatrick_CreditCards]

I was also taught to stay away from credit cards. But when I needed my first loan I had no credit, and I paid a higher rate. Now I use credit cards all the time, and I'm doing a lot better financial because of it. Glad you're teaching everyone about credit cards Brian!

[@TheCreditFrog]

This was a solid video Brian - especially the new and updated Recommended Card Sequence! Thanks for putting in all the work to come up that strategy!

[@Jungernaut]

Thanks Stan I appreciate it man

[@412foto]

About a year and a half into the credit card world...I jumped in hard and deep...watched a bazillion videos, really thought about my budget and matching cards, and got a lot of cards in short time (7 personal and 5 business cards).This includes a mix of no annual fee cards up to cards like the Platinum. Redeeming for travel so definitely learned I prefer points over cash back. Credit score also went up like 60 points to mid 700s which was also one of the goals (still would like to be in upper 700s. Even though I can justify value, I still need to watch the number and amount of annual fees going forward. And now have to wait to be under 5/24 till March 2025. But really have most of my based covered and could just go the next year adding no new cards (but sure some welcome bonus will tempt me)

[@armandomorelos2500]

I paid off my house and my credit dropped 40 points

Im a senior rn so I find this video very useful

This may be the best video on this topic. I'm pretty far along, but I've sent it to my family members just starting on the journey. 👍

[@exxzit]

I have the bilt card. I love it so far. Racking up points. Very straight forward.

[@dizzyMongoose]

Nice comprehensive vid. Just a heads up, I see a black screen from 21:55 to 22:03 when you're explaining what the 5/24 rule is, seems like there's a missing graphic.

thanks man you've helped a lot I had no idea about the piggyback option.

[@jeffreycharles1357]

Hey Brian, I’m from Boston and have been subscribed to you since Covid. Love your content. I don’t think I have ever seen you make videos about credit union business credit cards or Fidelity visa signature rewards personal credit card or some of these other community bank personal and business credit cards. Please do some 🙏🏾 I think we would all benefit from

[@jeffreycharles1357]

@jugernaut for data points. Fidelity gave me $22k on my personal credit card from having a relationship with them including 401k, “checking account” (cash management account) etc

[@MichaelP-dt1od]

Good credit enables you to get the loans you need to start your own business and/or save thousands on loan interest.

[@RadBunny2269]

Hey Brian. You should do a few videos on building credit card history for new immigrants & nonresident aliens participating in the US economy. I know it's not popular with your US crowd, but it's a group of users not targeted by your type who could use your knowledge. Plus, it also helps folks preparing to come to the US. If your mission really is to help people gain more credit card knowledge, who can benefit more than these two groups? Food for thought.

[@rinatamrakar5602]

This video was amazing. Wish they taught this at school. So much value here! Quick question: Does piggybacking also work on business cards?

[@XFatherGod]

This should definitely be taught in high schools

Hey Brian, love your videos. They’ve helped me lots with learning why credit cards are important. I’ve been building my credit for 8 months but I want to apply for an Amex card soon. How long do you believe I should wait for before applying?

I got rejected for a chase freedom but got accepted for a American Express cash preferred makes no sense 😊

Perhaps every key card I've had I was being followed around stalked but hey theirs noone at the churches.❤

[@mikeyoung7640]

Closing a credit card is ok as long as it’s not your first card honestly 10 credit cards would be way to hard for me you won’t lose any credit history right away it’s 7 to 10 years for the closed by then your other cards will still be open and it won’t affect your card try not to close your old card

[@13nlsc]

How do i apply for business card without business id. I do have a side ebay business Oh i just found your other video! Thx

[@mrsandta]

So my biggest question is how, if I were to open up multiple Amex Credit Cards in a short period, would I spend enough to get all those points? Or, if I should stagger my acquisition of these cards by several months so that I can sequentially get all those points. PS - just joined the military and so the fees are waived. Thanks in advance.

[@garygretarsson]

I would suggest definitely staggering the applications because you don’t want to spend a bunch of extra money just to get a bonus. That makes the bonus pointless.

[@riograul2043]

Okay but what factors do they look at when you apply for a busness credit card?

[@ep411]

Maybe you mentioned it and I missed it: will being added as an AU count towards 5/24 chase rule?

[@highestdrifter5629]

how about if they close your account how do we get rid of old debt ?

[@betterfootballhighlights527]

Can you make a video explaining a time schedule of how you would get all the card bc you said you would get them a month apart but I can’t tell if that’s what you actually meant

I'm in the netherlands, what would you recommend? all credit cards seem to cost money and not get much

Does the 5/24 include the credit builder/trade line cards like credit ai and Ava

[@GeorgeDorsey-s7e]

this is adorbs

[@ImKeeday]

Do you guys think I should open 2 credit cards at once? I want the chase freedom unlimited with the bonus currently, but I also want to apply for a chase sapphire preferred and put my Christmas shopping on it. I feel if I open a CSP and wait, I’ll miss out on the CFU bonus.

Heck yeah! Do it today!

i got the csp and didnt apply for the cfu@@michaelstewart1838

[@r.f.s.8766]

Is this guide only valid for the US? I live in Germany and I was wondering if something like this makes sense here too? I am still hesitant to even do more research because this country still heavily relies on cash and debit cards. Not many people even own credit cards and they are only accepted in few places like hotels and airports etc.

[@holzmax8073]

Genau das frage ich mich auch. Bist du mittlerweile auf antworten gestoßen ?

[@r.f.s.8766]

@@holzmax8073 Ja bin ich. Das macht hier in DE wenig Sinn, meiner Minung nach, da es diese Bonusprogramme hier in der Form nicht gibt und die meißten der Kreditkarten ebenso wenig. Ein Großteil der Punkte generiert sich in diesem System aus deinem täglichen Bedarf und dass du diesen ausschließlich mit Kreditkarten zahlst, vorallem auch Miete, Nebenkosten etc. - also alles was du ohnehin zahlen musst. Ich denke man könnte dennoch davon profitieren, wenn man zum Beispiel selbstständig ist und viele hohe Ausgaben hat und auch wenn man z.B. viel fliegt. Es gibt einige Kreditkarten hier, die gute Boni generieren können, aber in dem Umfang wie im Video gezeigt, wirst du das hier, zumindest noch nicht, umsetzen können. Dazu müsste die Nutzung der Kreditkarte in der Gesellschaft sich vergrößern. Das siehst du alleine daran, dass es außer den üblichen Cashbacksystemen hier noch keine Supermarktkette gibt, meines Wissens nach, welche Kreditkartenbonusprogramme wie in den USA hat. Das läuft hier ja alles über Payback und Deutschladcard etc. und das ist ja alles Mist. Unterm Strich also leider nein. Ich fokussiere mich lieber auf Crypto und baue ein lukratives Sidehustle auf, was meinen 9to5-Job bald ersetzen soll. Habe mich für den Copywriter entschieden. Irgendwas wo du nur einen Laptop, Handy und Internet zu brauchst. Da gibt es genug Auswahl und ich glaube die Zeit ist in so einem Projekt besser eingesetzt, als hier in DE zu versuchen dieses Modell zum Laufen zu bringen. Ich hoffe das hilft dir weiter. Grüße.
