U are spending an average of $1300+ per month on food between grocery and dining out. That is insanity!!!

That’s actually not that much. For a family of 3 I’m spending $750 but I am super cheap. My wife cooks large batches and there isn’t much variety to keep costs low. So families larger than that or that aren’t sticklers like me could easily spend $1300

I mean cmon just pull out a calculator it's really simple math... $1300÷52 weeks is 153$ a week. 7 days in a week, he's only spending like 21$ a day on food. That's eating out, another 21$ on groceries. Sounds about right tbh. A lot of people will spend over 153$ a week on groceries but because they don't budget they don't even realize

Not realistic for the average American if you look at data of what people can actually spend. Just because you might be able to afford the fees for these cards and abundant spending doesn't mean the average person can. But if you can hooray for you. There is kinda tier levels when it comes to using credit cards and it's limited to how much you make but doesn't mean it's not important to get these bonuses.

I don't know if this content creator makes it seem like this is for the average American, but of course this is not for the average American, even if you aren't the average American then you might have a different set of cards for a different lifestyle or a different set and number of cards depending on how much you are interested in playing the credit card game. As with everything it depends.

Isn’t it inconvenient and relatively inefficient to buy gas at Mobil gas stations? I tried doing that a while back, but I noticed it was less convenient and more expensive than using a gas card combined with the location with the best price, usually Costco.

Honestly I’d rather use the Platinum on BA. 5x on airfare beats 3x AND it’s in the points currency of your choice AND you get trip cancellation insurance. The BA card really doesn’t have much going for it besides the signup bonus. It’s like a sapphire preferred but worse.

Insert the card, select grade and pump gas. For things like gas it really doens't matter, no one is checking. Just remember if you want to use any insurances like baggage insurance, trip delay insurance then it did really need to be a business trip.

If you shop for groceries at Walmart, that gold card is useless for groceries. Essentially, if you want to spend more money on groceries elsewhere, it would then be worth getting, but Walmart has the cheapest groceries, their supercenters still have great options, and a AAA advantage card gives you 3% back on in store grocery purchases there, completely defeating the gold card.

@@TheCreditShifu Walmart now has a premium “great value” style brand called “market side” and are constantly offering healthier and better foods, especially in their supercenter locations. Luckily that’s what I have next to my home, all while staying the lowest prices which yes, mixed with that AAA credit card work better than a gold amex card at any other grocery store. AAA can even offer 3% back at Costco, the only other place I’d get groceries.

You use the Gold card and get 3x the points on flights and throw the platinum away cause that's $695 a year. You could save that. Cause you said you only use it for Walmart + subscription and flights. Unless you're flying once a month.
@parth7092
@parth7092 9 ай бұрын
He said he gets the Walmart+ subscription for free using the Platinum card. The Platinum card has a bunch of other credits that make it worth to use. You get free Uber/Uber Eats ($15/month) + $20/month on streaming services. Walmart+, Uber/Uber Eats, Streaming services alone account for $518 of the AF. On top of that, he is probably using TSA Global Entry and CLEAR, which will cover the rest of the fees. And we haven't even gotten to the flight credits yet. Amex Plat benefits far outweigh the fee.
