    Awesome tips here John. Paying your cards off before the statement date rather than just before the due date is a MASSIVELY underutilized tip that I try to preach on my channel as well. I try to keep my utilization at 1-2% and achieve that by paying off 98-99% of my balances right before my STATEMENT CLOSE date rather than my due date. Great stuff man!

    Hi John, thanks for the tips, I do have a question for the last tip
    If you reapply for the same card again to get their bonus again
    What happens to the card your already have?
    Do you have two Chase sapphire cards then?
    What would you do with it? Keep both? Does it combined to one card ?
    Do you cancel the one you already have?
    If you can answer these questions, it would be much appreciate, thank you!

Or do credit cards have measures to prevent these things? Along those same lines, can a husband refer his wife to a credit card and gain the referral bonus?

    HI John. Thanks again for such great content and simple explanations. Quick question around the last tip. Are you cancelling the existing card and then reapplying for a new card to get the bonus points? or are you holding it and applying for another card of the same?

    • @johnsfinancetips

      Hi Jason, thanks for the question. For the most part I'm canceling the existing card then opening up again once I'm eligible. Now Amex is only 1 bonus per lifetime. But most banks are 24 - 48 months waiting period. Hope that helps!!

    Yeah, I have similar experience obtaining my currently highest card. When I applied and things begun to seem in limbo, I called my personal bank representative (my primary bank gives everyone one person and it's absolutely fabulous!) and he, knowing my accounts, recommended me dropping the application and requesting a loan on the count of lower interest rate. All I needed to do, was to explain, that I need card with high enough limit for blockations, when renting a car on business trips and my card's in my wallet.

      @OzzieDrum Год назад

      I carry a balance but it’s kind of a ghost balance per se? I use my AppleCard like a debit card and pay it often. Multiple times a month. I guess it just pushes my interest out further and I don’t end up getting charged as I pay down what would be the charges that should incur interest. Does that make sense? I use it like a debit card because I get 2 to 3% back Daily Cash back.

    Got the freedom student card back in March 2020, they kept emailing me. I banked with chase all my life but, I was about to graduate so I didn’t think it would be smart. Anyways I got it and I’ve been learning how to build my credit through lots of RUclips since then. I was going to close it since I got the welcome bonus and wanted the regular freedom and it was only a short credit history anyways so wouldn’t have much impact. Recently, (nov 2022) I tried to use a friend’s referral to grab the intro bonus on the regular freedom card and they denied me. When the explanation letter came in the mail it said I already had the card type and I was super confused but, they also sent a new regular freedom card. Upon checking my chase app they changed mine from the freedom student to regular freedom so I missed out on the bonus. I’m still technically a student so I secure messaged them yesterday to see if there was anything they could do to let me get a bonus offer or at least some points. Wish me luck! 😮‍💨

    when you say to reapply after 48 months for the same card to get another bonus, what exactly is that process like? Do you close the original card first? Would you close the original card maybe after 1 year and then reapply? Can you explain that process, please?

    • @ianwalton403
      @ianwalton403 2 года назад +12

      You can usually product change your card to a different card in the same family and then reapply for the original card. This way your account doesn’t close and you keep your history associated with that card.

    • @theonlybuster
      @theonlybuster 2 года назад +4

      The steps are going to vary from one issuer to the next, but generally speaking you ask the card issuer to change the card to another card (usually a lower tier card). After 3-4 years you can usually re-apply for that original card AND qualify for the current sign-up bonus. If they don't allow you to change tier cards, you can close the account (though think long and hard before doing so) and 3-4 years later re-apply for the sign up bonus.
      Again, this isn't a guarantee and not all credit card issuers operate the same. So definitely check the terms and policies before attempting this.
      Remember that a slight drop in your score is only a big deal if you're looking to apply for a loan or credit card in the very immediate future. Short of that, give it a few months and you'll climb back up. Just plan ahead and you should be fine.

    Another question I have is, once I have a card that has an annual fee, should I close the card after sometime? Should I downgrade the card? Or should I let it be open and continue paying the fees? This is something I haven’t understand about this game. Thank you

    • @johnsfinancetips
      @johnsfinancetips  Год назад

      Great question - so this will be something that depends on you and how much value you get from the card. For example my favorite card is the Capital One Venture X. The annual fee of that card is $395 a year, however it comes with an aggregate of $400 in travel credit. So that card actually pays me $5 - crazy! I also have a Bank of America Alaska Airlines card, it has a $95 annual fee, no credits that I find useful. So I only open that card for a bonus and close it after 12 months. Hope that helps!

    Hi I just started following you. How do you prioritize which card to use the most for everyday? I have the Amex platinum and Bonvoy but also the chase sapphire reserve and don’t know which one is the best to use?

    • @johnsfinancetips
      @johnsfinancetips  Год назад

      Hey Martin! Thanks for the sub and to answer you question it comes down to 2 things - do you want to optimize for your spend category or do you want to optimize for a certain type of currency. In the first case of optimize for spend I would use my Amex Gold for Grocery and Dining, Amex Plat for Airfare, CSR for Travel, and C1VX for all other. In the second case maybe I only strongly prefer Chase UR because they transfer to Hyatt so then I might use it for Airfare to earn 3x even thought the Amex Plat would earn me 5X. Hope that helps somewhat!

  • @chiragsaraogi363
    @chiragsaraogi363 2 года назад +1

    Thank you for the tips. I have a question on point 1. Once I have credit card say chase sapphire. To get another bonus in 24/48 months, should I close the card and reapply?

    • @johnsfinancetips
      @johnsfinancetips  Год назад

      Happy to help Chirag! So the short answer is yes you should ideally not be holding the same product when you apply again. 2 options, either you close the card before you apple again or your change the card to a different product known as a product change. You can downgrade it to a Chase Freedom so you still get to keep you account history if you use the account a lot. Hope that helps and I’ll see you around!!

      He’s saying you would keep the same card/account but call the company as if you wanted to close the card and get their retention offer. The company would apply the bonus as if it were a new card. wouldn’t want to close a two year card and lose the age of the card.

    I always get confused when people say pay off you balance the day before your statement closing date to increase your credit. But if the payment is still pending and not cleared by that bank yet, how does that work?

    • @lebisque9194
      @lebisque9194 2 года назад +2

      The banks typically will push that payment through before closing the statement. I’ve done it several times. However, I usually pay in full on due date and catch any pending payments that have posted after due date before the statement date. I also stop using my card between due date and statement date so my card issuer reports a very low or zero balance to my credit. I use a different card during that time, rinse and repeat.

    • @koreyg8552

      Great question Keanu - however I would strongly encourage you to pay on time and in full so you don’t need to worry about APR. In fact if you’re having credit card trouble I’d focus on getting that debt managed - 0% balance transfer cards are an option thought double check the transfer feee. Once that’s in control then you can get back to the fun cards. Hope that helps, sorry i don’t have a good answer. See you around!

    Hi, Thanks for your video! Your best two tips are: Pay on time, and pay in full. Totally agree!
    I just came across your channel, so perhaps you discuss this in another video, but here is my question: If/when we open a cc account for the bonus, spend the necessary $1K-$4K in the 90 days (to qualify for the bonus), but then have no further need of that credit card - how long should we wait before closing the account? We have a number of long term cards that we use regularly (for bonuses on different categories), so is there any benefit to holding this new card open for a year before closing it, or is it just as fine to close right after receiving the bonus? Thanks.

    • @JG-tt4sz

    • @johnsfinancetips
      @johnsfinancetips  Год назад +1

      Thanks for the question! So I’m going to hit you with a it depends. When I was heavy in the credit card game and opening 12 cards a year for non-Amex card I would close in 90 - 120 days. For Amex card I closed at month 13 because they have a tendency to claw back. But if you have only a few cards and these cards are adding a lot to your credit line you may want to think about it again. But honestly I wouldn’t think twice about closing once it has served it’s purpose of getting me my points. Best of luck!

    Hi John,
    I opened a Venture X in May and got the bonus points (75k) and just opened a Hilton Honors AMEX and they said I didn't qualify for the bonus points. So u happen to know why?

    I also do not understand why you get dinged for a high credit utilization rate. For me, as long as you are able to pay even the minimum, they should not penalize you because after all, it is helping these credit card companies.

      They'll think there's something going on and you're a credit risk.

      I just doesn’t make sense when you are on time with payments. Clearly they are losing out on these clients.

    • @johnsfinancetips

      It just shows risk that’s all. At the end of the day credit cards are unsecured loans, the more you use the more you “borrow” and that is inherently risky for a bank 🤷🏻‍♂️

    If you have multiple cards and few them have very small credit limit and others have bigger balance what to pay off first small cards or bigger balance

    • @JRush374
      @JRush374 2 года назад +2

      Depends on your personality. If you think it will help you to stay motivated by paying off a card quickly, go with the smallest balance. But if you think you can stay motivated, you'll save more money by paying off the cards with the highest rates first. The two ways are identical on your credit report.

    Question, I recently tried to apply to the AMEX Gold CC it said I wasn't eligible for the welcome bonus. Due to multiple potential reasons. Credit card open/close rates. Last one I opened was about 11 months ago. However I do have about 9ish cards. Do you know what I can do to get around this? Pay in full each month.

    Thank you for the tips! For your last hack, would I reapply for a chase sapphire 24-48 months after originally opening up an account? Or am I reapplying 24-48 months after closing/downgrading my original sapphire card?

    • @chrisp7110
      @chrisp7110 2 года назад +1

      I spoke with a Chase Banker so if i recall it is when you last got the bonus but you can only have one card so you need to downgrade or close the account in order to apply for a new bonus but I recall Chase has been more strict since the pandemic because people are not long term customers so you will need to keep it open for atleast 2-3 years before closing/downgrading.

    I’m 30 and have an 800+ score. I’ve been researching and think I want to start building points for travel through several banks. I’m thinking of the chase trifecta, Amex Gold and the capital 1 venture X. I’m wondering what your suggested order of operations would be and if you would add or substitute anything. I know chase has the 5/24, so probably work through those first, but otherwise, do you have any thoughts? For context, I’ve had the Costco citi card for years, which has been fine, but I want to start maximizing credit benefits.

    • @kenny9633
      @kenny9633 2 года назад +1

      CSP is always a good card to start with in my opinion, amex gold with that 90k offer is great as well. For that higher tier card venture x pays for itself in value, BUT isnt the best if you book directly with airlines(same for CSR), i would look at hotel cards too if you travel as some will come with free nights/status

      @@Tony36847 what?! Are you secretly working for AMEX? For the Venture X’s annual $300 travel credit, there are no hoops to jump through. You charge it on something “travel” related and they give you the credit. With AMEX you have to enroll for every benefit, select the airline, only one airline, to use the airline credit, you have book through their website for every benefit to include the hotel credit. Very tedious and annoying process. I don’t know how you’re having a hard time using the Venture X, but that’s insane.
