    ✏️ My Thoughts:
    Welcome to the ultimate credit card setup video, where I break down the five 5 exact credit cards that I am shooting for to hold for the rest of my life. Each of these cards hold an important spot in optimizing credit card points to earn the most rewards possible through my regular (and predicted future) spending habits.
    This system will allow me to earn a ton of rewards points using Chase's highest earning credit cards, while then taking those points and converting them to get elite travel benefits from the high end Chase Sapphire Reserve.
    It's also important to have a dedicated food and dining card for family spending, which I choose the American Express Gold Card for.
    Finally, this is often overlooked but getting a reliable hotel card that will provide free nights every single year, just for holding the card, is also going to make a big difference.
    Watch through to see how much in annual fees that I am taking on in this setup and how despite that, it is easy to defend getting all 5 of these cards.

    I love it man, I thought about getting into chase but I am an Amex fanboy. My lifelong setup is the Capital One VX, Amex Gold, Amex Platinum, and Marriot Boundless. A lot of fees but these cards pay for themselves with credits (minus the Platinum but I love the lounges)

      Hey, I got to respect it. AMEX has its merits for sure and it sounds like it’s gonna work for your situation a little better than mine 👍🏼

      I have five cards already, but I’m missing the VX (hopefully I get approved) maybe one chase travel card and I want a navy credit so I can build a relationship and get a loan later in life.

    Amex gold for dining & groceries $250 AF
    Venture X for travel $350 AF
    Citi Costco card for gas (4%) $0 AF
    Looking to add chase/amazon CC for that 5% cashback since I shop a lot on Amazon.
    Great video 🎉

      Really solid lineup. I’m sure you’re more than making back your annual fees plus great benefits on the backend

    I think the major flaw with your setup is the belief that the annual fees will stay the same for the long term, the Amex Platinum used to be $550, the CSR used to be $450, the Business gold used to be $295, the Amex Hilton cards increased their annual fees too, I think one should consider the really possibility of the Gold's annual fee increasing, heck it used to be $195,
    I think this is a very clear sign that Amex and to a lesser extent Chase is recouping costs to operate these high value benefits programs on, ironically enough, the expensive cards, as time moves on, contracts will be negotiated and Amex will inevitably change the value proposition.
    I don't know this for sure but I think it is more common for cards with AF's to increase their annual fee, rather than cards with no annual fee to suddenly gain an annual fee

    • @TheRDGuarantee
      @TheRDGuarantee  4 месяца назад +1

      I would agree that you're right with the annual fee cards.
      I think the marketing proposition on these cards is that the companies know that if a person is willing to pay for an AF, they're less likely to cancel if it goes up than a person who sees a $0 AF card jump to an annual fee.
      It seems that if they up the AF they often up the benefits in some way too. I'd think this would pay off if you're spending to support a family.

    My core setup is similar:
    Ink Cash
    Freedom Flex
    Sapphire Preferred
    AmEX Gold
    AmEx Marriott business
    Will probably add the Cap1 VX for my catch all card.

    What about car rental benefits, what's the best card for that?

    • @TheRDGuarantee
      @TheRDGuarantee  4 месяца назад +2

      Venture X and Platinum card both have status upgrades.
      I’d go with the Platinum long term. VX loses their Hertz partnership benefits at the end of 2024 and Amex gets you benefits with 2-3 different companies!
