    The few main things from Chase & AMEX that are missing are the monthly foods credits, hotel credits, airfare credits, lounge access, travel protections & purchase protections.
    But weigh that against quicker points for travel…

    • @CalbyNg
      @CalbyNg  Год назад +1

      You’re 100% correct. One thing I will disagree with is the credits; I feel like those are just on the card to justify the cards in the first place.
      However airport lounge access is definitely lacking. I think the Venture X or Amex Platinum would also make a decent 3rd card.

  • @bfwolf
    @bfwolf Год назад +1

    Is it necessary (or a good idea) to manage the closing date on your dummy MasterCard to do this? I’m gonna try it for the first time this month, but before I did so I changed the closing date on my IHG card to the first of the month, thinking that way no statement will ever close with the restaurant charges still on it before I move it to Bilt. But I guess I have no idea how quickly Curve removes the charge from the dummy MasterCard when you go back in time.

    • @CalbyNg
      @CalbyNg  Год назад

      Yes! I should have mentioned this, but getting your statement date to appear on the 5th of the month, so payment due date on the 1st, should be a long enough time to fully move over the transactions off the dummy card. Usually takes the same amount of time for a return to process (2-5 days).

  • @jacobspurgeon2110
    @jacobspurgeon2110 Год назад +1

    🫡 few questions though, so you say trifecta but you need a card to charge it on? But visa doesn’t work🤔 so your really running a 4 card setup? Or your constantly paying down the curve 500$ limit? And clarification each purchase can be moved once back in time but it’s not limited to how many purchases you move back?

    • @CalbyNg
      @CalbyNg  Год назад

      Yep, you're absolutely correct; I think the Hyatt card clouded my judgment, haha. You can use a Visa debit card though!
      Btw never charge anything to the Curve limit, you can't move that transaction.
      That is correct, at this time the USA version you can move as many transactions as you want from my knowledge.

    Great video, Calby! With the dummy card to be used with the Curve card, isn’t it better to use non point producing card as once you move the charges over to the BILT card the points (on dummy card) will just be deducted once you start the refund?

    Great video but the only issue I see is if you already have a high earning card. I have the sapphire reserve and the Bilt card. I’ve booked through the chase portal and gotten 5x back on flights. I use the chase card in my Bilt wallet for 8x back on Bilt dining all month and I get 3x back on all travel including transit and parking. So the only place this combo would outshine is on other categories, grocery and food by a marginal amount. Very interesting though.

      I’ve been continuing to think about other possible cards for the trifecta, particularly Mastercards so that you could just use Curve and only think about the cards on Rent Day. I’m thinking that Citi Premier could work well as the card that transactions go onto initially, since it has grocery and gas categories. Also Savor One, but that one would require another card to turn it into transferable points.

I don't know that I'd want to put in the work of "moving" all the charges to the Bilt card on the 1st of every month, but I can certainly see some willing to do it. Plus I love not being beholden to one issuer and not dealing with Chase's 5/24 and Amex's increasingly ubiquitous popup jail that almost everyone is landing in recently. Nice outside the box thinking here! The one drawback seems to be that these are weak overall on providing sign-up bonuses.

    For the dummy card, it might be interesting to see if the Robinhood Debit card would work well since it rounds up each purchase you make to the next dollar, then gives you (on average) a 40% match on that round up as true cash back. I have not tried this yet, but I doubt they would do a take-backsies on those roundups when you port them over to Bilt because they do the payout once per week, which if timed correctly, might just be free money.

      It's not bad, it does sound low but AA pts can generally be valued at 2 cents per point. However, if you move your groceries to the bilt card on the 1st it would also earn you 2x points on groceries.
      In my opinion, I would put your groceries on the God trifecta, Bilt card because you'll earn Bilt status and the points are more flexible

    I usually agree with most of your takes Calby but this one I have to respectfully disagree. Your travel category in this set up is very weak. Especially with lounge access, and premium benefits like Purchase protection and many others. I have a rule and that rule is one of your cards in your trifecta cannot be a hotel or airline specific card because it doesn’t have as much synergy and also because of devaluation. In case of devaluation, you’re able to transfer to a hotel or airline that hasn’t had a recent devaluation and able to get more for for points.

      ​@@CalbyNg The question I'm trying to poke at here is what dates work best for credit utilization reports.
      When I charge the dummy card with all of the dummy charges, then shift them all over to the Bilt card, the ideal state is to have my dummy credit statement report 0% utilization to a credit bureau. --And also have the Bilt card do the same 0% report too, ideally.
      Assuming I have full control of when those due dates lie, what's the correct order to time those dates so rent day comes and goes, there is no carried balance that accrues interest, and so that each credit card statement in the trifecta reports a 0% utilization? (Or does utilization only appear as >0% when the statement is not paid by the due date?)

    • @CalbyNg
      @CalbyNg  Год назад

      So, the Curve card wasn’t necessary created to move transactions through time; rather if you charged the incorrect card you would still have a chance to correct your mistake.
      Therefore to move transactions you need to have two cards, one you charge the transaction on, then on the 1st of every month charge it to the Bilt card, to take advantage of the double multipliers.
      Oh and also some people have brought it to my attention, I completely forgot about this, but your second card can be a Discover card too!

      Oh true, sorry team cashback!!
      I guess that’s why the Chase trifecta is so popular 🤔
