      ☕️ They didn't even discuss the extra value of CCs.. like Insurance, lounge access, free nights, etc... this last year I got at least $500 in value from my Venture X from lounge access and restaurants (really bummed PP restaurants are gone) This year I am traveling to Europe (first time in business class!), L.A. , Boston (layover in Dallas 🙌) Denver (Sept hoping new C1 lounge is open!) So I know I'll be seeing the same kind of value this year as well!

    I put my debit card in my sock drawer, and put all of my regular spending on my Amex Plat, Gold, Green, Everyday Preferred, and Amex Blue Business. Paid it off every month. AMEX points I have accrued paid for a 10K vacation with alot of points left over. Ask Sebby is the one I followed to teach me how to think differently about spending. It made me think of all the years i've been using cash, checks and got nothing back for it. I shake my head wishing I would have started 10 years ago and how much I could have accrued in points.

    I am personally one of those who don't trust credit cards since it's not so common in my country but when my mentor at work informed me of the perks, I decided to give it a try. At first I got so excited and bought stuff I didn't really need but now I'm starting to control my spending habits and it even made me more practical.

    • @cherb23
      @cherb23 Год назад +1

      I think you should always pay the credit card each month and never buy anything with it unless you already have the money. Paying interest is like throwing your cash in a fire. I use my credit card for everything because if my credit card gets stolen and they spend 10000 on it I can call the credit card company and they will very quickly close the card and they will pay for that 10000. If my bank card was robbed for 10000 I might not get it back.

Did 6 days/5 nights @ Hyatt Ziva Cabo all-inclusive w/flights for $240. My +1 and I can't live in our midwest city for $230-240 per week - we'd be driving, going to grocery store, etc. We went on those trips to save money.

    On a quick mental calculation, I earned somewhere around $4000 towards travel from various rewards last year, and paid $1190 in annual fees (but only $540 in effective annual fees after credits). And that's just with fairly normal spend and no new cards or sign up bonuses. I've saved rewards up for a few years over the pandemic and we've already booked $5000+ worth of "free" travel for this year, plus more to come. Hoping to get some new cards later this year as well which should probably add a few thousand more. It's a pretty lucrative way to finance travels and I wish more people could see the value.

    They failed to mention the main reason I stick with credit cards, which is security. Also, less activity on your checking account means you're less likely to overdraft because an auto payment hit at the same time as you made a large purchase or a hold was put on a debit card charge. ☕

    I got over $12,000 in value from my points last year, on an average income!
    I think the biggest mistake people with higher income make with their points is they don’t optimally use them.
    I know a lot of business owners with a huge stash of points that travel, but they only redeem their points for gift cards 🤦🏼‍♂️ with a small shift in the way they use their points they could travel way better and way cheaper.

      @@rolandostaelena a good portion of his audience is either working class or lower-end of middle class. His advice is aimed at that demographic. Much of it is probably good if you’re in that situation, since credit card debt is a huge barrier to entering the middle class. But if you have enough discretionary income that you never carry a balance in the first place, then not having a track record of responsible credit use puts you at a disadvantage. One size does not fit all.
      Plus, aggressive debt repayment when you only have $1k as an emergency fund is a joke. Maybe $1k is enough in Frog Crotch, TN where his audience lives, but in the rest of the country, that won’t even cover a month’s rent.

    ☕ #squad. Last year was a good year. Venture X SUB and Citi Premier SUB. 160,000 points at a modest 1.5 cpp is an easy $2400 in value. That doesn't include my other spend. I just booked a trip for later this year where I transferred some of those very points to travel partners for approximately 3 cpp. The true value has been wonderful. Thanks Sebby!
    Lastly, I don't argue with people about finances/CC. Those that are close to me are comfortable asking and I provide answers.

A few hours In Vegas enjoying the Platinum Life changed his tune 😂

    ☕️ Thought process has absolutely changed over the last year as I’ve realized how much aspirational travel I’ve missed out on; but circumstances have only gotten better over the last couple of years, so; now it’s about higher cash back or joining team rewards and getting my player two into a better mindset with cards.

    • @AskSebby

      So I went from a very transitory “have bag and skill, will travel” life (nothing international, all political campaign work) that was all contract to a more established “traditional” work life, so I did the stupid thing of living off cards and carrying balances between campaigns; but then I took out a loan to clear that debt and was able to pay off balances with ease. Now that I seem to be in a better place to do that; it makes collecting reward points significantly easier. Watching credit card content also has me intrigued as I keep gardening and working on my player 2s credit profile so we can travel more as a family in the next few years.

      @@AskSebby also, in my experience, Wells gives me cash back into my accounts, I’ve had a long term relationship with them and they’re finally lifting their $25 increments. I also bank with Capital One and my cash back through them is harder to put into my account.
      One of the reasons I’m not into AmEx’s cashback is they only do a statement credit on the BCE/BCP & there’s no mechanism I’m aware of to turn that into MR points , so while I can bank big statement credit; it isn’t really money I can use beyond AmEx.

    I still use my debit card for some transactions like paying bills. There are Credit Cards that don't have reward points. So it's meaningless if I use my C.O. Platinum Card over my Debit Card. However I make more purchases on that card than my Debit card. Even with my Platinum card I don't even use the cash back links on Capital One Card. Like Adidas. For that I would just complete the transaction on my TD Bank Cash Card.

    Everyday items like clothes for my kids as they grow like weeds… so using my gold card for groceries and dinner/lunch can acquire crazy points and then just put back into my pocket with buying clothes for family.
    The other piece is on flights / hotels / events
    So I have co-branded cards to earn specific points and then can save up and go on trips / stays for limited upfront cost. Even if points are devalued I’m still spending way less money by using saved points.

    How many cards can you signup for in one weekend? I know you get inquiries but if you are pre approved sometimes a bank will give you two different cards aroun the same time.

    About 12 years ago I ruined my great credit when I took some really bad advice from some well meaning, but credit ignorant, people. Once I dug myself out of the trenches and started to see enough of incline in my score that credit card companies were willing to take a chance on me again, I decided that I would immerse myself in credit knowledge in order to ensure that I never made the same mistakes again. Since that day I haven't touched my debit cards. I strictly use credit cards and make sure that my credit works me instead of me working for my credit.

    ☕️ a lot of people that don’t like credit cards seem to fall into two camps. On one side, it’s almost like a morality issue if you use credit. These are usually the Dave Ramsey types. On the other side, there is a lot of arrogance. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve had people scoff at me for paying an annual fee on a card. “Why would you pay a fee to a bank to spend you own money?” When you show them the numbers, the goal posts shift and all of a sudden I’m overvaluing all these benefits I get. Meanwhile, the same people criticizing have memberships to places like Costco, Sam’s Club, or Amazon prime. Zero awareness 😂

    ☕☕Until I recently picked up the Skymiles Reserve card for lounge access, I was in the mindset they outlined in the special. Now I'm wanting to diversify my cards as I primarily have co-branded cards which limit my rewards usage and I want to branch out to the rewards points ecosystems like Amex and/or Chase. I travel frequently for work so I organically build up points with a primary airline, hotel and rental car but want to ability to be able to venture outside of those brands for aspirational travel if necessary. I find your videos informative and would like to see more travel videos to give me ideas of things we need to do.

      I still use it to for utilities because for me the amount of cash back exceeds the processing fee. It’s a flat fee of $1.50 but I get 2% back with the card that I use. I’m considering applying for the US Bank Cash plus just for utilities because you get 5% back.

    I see transfer fees on a lot of the cards that say months of no transfer fees. In the fees and costs side of the paperwork' they claim 3-5% fees for a transfer 0r a 30-50$ charge (whichever is greater). UHHH, you are speaking of "transferring bonus rewards", right?
    I don't recall, but, do they charge for those pts transferred? UH, could you do a review on the Sam's 5% cash back bonus reward card with perks for travel and accommodations?

    • @Mayflower018

      If you know credit cards won't work for you, then don't. If you accumulate credit card debt you'll lose more than you'll gain in rewards. Still you can focus on getting the intro bonuses (20,000-60,000 pts means $200-$600 per card towards travel). So open one card at a time and put your fixed costs (not extra spending, only the money you already are guaranteed to spend every month) just to hit the spending requirement. Now you've got the points, you never have to use the card again if you don't want to (don't cancel cards until a year after opening) and you're free to transfer your fixed expenses onto the next card and get another 20,000-60,000 points or $200-600. The key is you are not overspending here, you are ONLY putting charges you are already making onto the card. Any additional charges do not need to be put on the card if you know you can't trust yourself right now (and good for you for knowing your limits).

    Yeah it sucks that they only give you 1% back but the sign up bonus is good though.
    I have a bunch of other credit cards that give me better returns than 1% already.

    ☕️ My husband and I along with my brother we use our credit cards for spending as much as we can. We like it for security purposes and getting something in return and we each have specific credit card systems which helps us analyze spending. We are new to this but I can say confidently we have benefited and really do enjoy it.
    For the people who are not into credit cards I think after my first few times trying to explain what we do and them not listening I just stop. Leave them be. 🤷🏻‍♀️

      I think a lot of people discount / forget the security aspect. Debit card fraud is so much more annoying to deal with, especially if the bank doesn't side with you. Even if it "typically" doesn't happen, not worth the risk :)

    I don't know the exact value and dollars I've gotten in value from credit card points, particularly chase ultimate reward points, but in the last year I've been able to book flights to Rome, the returning trip being business class, 6 days in a five Star hotel in Rome, two nights at a Hyatt hotel in Orlando, and one night at a Hyatt resort in Orlando. I absolutely would have never had the money to do all of this if it weren't for points. The caveat is, it's mostly from sign up bonuses not earn points. Still, I earn about 12,000 points a month on spend with Chase, so I expect to have enough points to do something decent in the next couple years. Overall the credit card game has been good to me because of the rewards.
    Also I don't consider myself particularly savvy when booking hotels and flights. Hyatt hotels was a no-brainer, but I booked my flights through United, which doesn't really offer any particularly outsized value.

    I do use credit cards to pay for everything but the CNBC video felt like it was product placement and didn't focus on some of the darker side of credit cards and financial stability. Best strategy seems to be to switch every couple of years to get the sign up bonuses and do downgrades on the high end cards.

    ☕ I think the points users tend to be nouveau riche (and primarily thrifty Asians like me because free/discounted is good!😂) where our parents didn't have such things/earned less and we earn a lot more in comparison. Why someone may or may not use credit cards makes a difference. Those that poo-poo others it's more ignorance, but some people don't trust themselves to use credit responsibly or may have past credit problems and might avoid it and that's just smart.
