    Got the card from your last video about it. Got the 5X points offer for the first 5 days but couldn’t use it because of hurricane Beryl. Called this morning and they extended my offer an extra 5 days!

    Last rent day I booked a rent day special - $75 per person Michelin tasting menu in the BILT app. x4 courses, x2 cocktails per person. There was a QR code on the table I opened up and after my wife and I left the restaurant the page refreshed and showed the total bill as $298. Basically BILT covered the second half of the meal/tax/tip. Needless to say my wife and I are still talking about that meal and the value we got (we are foodies)

    I would like you to walk through an actual full claim process. Where do you get a quote to repair and replace your phone? What if your phone is valued over $800?[Like the new iphones or virtually and larger flagship phone or foldable?] What do you do if you need to use the car insurance from your card benefit?[what are the limitations] Are these primary insurance?[not where you are required to claim AFTER a primary insurance]

    • @johnsfinancetips
      @johnsfinancetips  23 дня назад +1

      Phone claim: you get a quote and whatever the repairs quote is, is what you submit. The benefit maxes at $800 so if it’s over then you’ll be out of pocket.
      Car: yes it’s primary.

    • @makaeo8085
      @makaeo8085 23 дня назад

      ​Thanks John. I did want to ask for clarification. Where do you get a quote?[Directly from your phone provider? Or any phone repair shop? Is this a piece of paper with line itemization? Or will an email suffice?]
      Specifically how is it determined if you're going to get a repair or replacement? Can you just go to a retail store amd ask them to write you a note that the cost of a new phone is the full retail cost?[Or do you need a repair quote? Then you can pull the new retail phone price off a website?]
      Do you have the full choice of repair or replace?[Or does the insurance decide?(usually the lower cost option)]

    Greetings everyone, I am in a financial wellness reboot !
    So I am just now diving into credit cards and their benefits.
    I had a credit card yeaaaars ago coming out of college but had zero education on how to properly use it.
    I’m looking to establish personal credit then go from there. I’m wandering if anyone who has a bit more experience with credit cards thinks the BILT card is a good choice for a first card ??
    Thanks in advance !

    Hey I’m 19 right now. I’m at a 716 credit score and have a student card with no annual fee I believe. I only have 11 months of credit history. I am however an authorized user on my mother’s credit, although on credit karma it doesn’t show so I don’t have that extra credit age. Now besides fixing that and getting the authorized user card attached as one of my accounts to see if that raises my credit score, what should I do to push towards 800? I am starting to consider getting a new card with USAA or NavyFed since I’m in the army and know what cards I could push for as beginner, intermediate and mastery level cards I guess. Any suggestions?

    Depending on your carrier and lifestyle, cell phone protection shouldn't automatically be used. If you get $10 auto-pay discounts, and say you have 4 lines, that's $480 a year you don't pay.
    If you use cell phone protection on a credit card, you're essentially paying that $480 a year for protection which may or may not be worth it if you don't damage or lose your phones often.

    • @johnsfinancetips
      @johnsfinancetips  25 дней назад +3

      Great tip! It's not ideal but for some carriers you can add in a bank account and a few days before it's due call and switch payment to a credit card. Then switch back to bank account for the monthly discount. PIA but it's a work around for now.

      I think on the other end, if I had only one line and a really expensive phone, losing the $10 auto-pay is probably worth it for the peace of mind protection.
