      I have a question. I’ve been seeing ur channel for a while and I know it’s all about credit cards. But I wanted to ask if you know anything about credit unions? Could you make a video or something about the benefits or direct me to somewhere that they talk about it. I’ve googled It and I’m just getting mixed answers

      I believe, it's only the higher tiered credit cards like the Chase Sapphire Preferred and Ink Business Preferred that you'll have more perks and can move points to partner merchants like United Miles. But your number of points will stay the same.

    The ability to get multiple bonuses on Chase's cards is one of the biggest pros to these cards that isn't appreciated enough I feel like. The 5/24 rule forces you to keep Chase cards in mind, but the positive side of it is that if you manage your 5/24 status correctly, you could be cycling through Chase card bonuses constantly which isn't something you can do with every lender (I'm looking at you Amex 👀). This was a really valuable video Daniel... great work once again!

    Excellent video Dan. Just as I've cautioned before with downgrading a card, Chase "could" deny that if you're headed into year two with the annual fee card, and if approved, they could reduce your credit limit, which increases your utilization.
    Also, and as you've mentioned a number of times (and I've certainly taken advantage of it), become a Hyatt member as that's often the best point value for redemption, often >$0.03 / point.

    It’s not necessarily a rule but more of a tip, I remember applying to the CFU and got denied because I didn’t have enough credit history. So for those of you struggling to get your foot in the door into chase’s ecosystem, I suggest opening up a checking account to start building that relationship with them. Within 2-3 months you should have a good chance of being accepted. However things may get easier with the new chase freedom rise coming soon.

    After watching a couple of credit card points videos, I am astounded at how many credit cards you guys carry!!! We have a six figure income. Well above six figures, not trying to brag I’m just giving you some context. We only have a chase sapphire preferred (I haven’t been able to convince my husband to upgrade to the reserve because he doesn’t think the added annual fee will benefit pay off) We both use the same account so we can accrue more points and pay everything we can with the card and pay the full balance at the end of the month. Even so I don’t think we have enough points to get ourselves first class seats, so how do you guys do it?
    We have gotten free flights before but always economy. I guess we are playing the game all wrong.

    Daniel, there is a question I have not seen addressed anywhere, and I was hoping you would mention it but did not. You are about to downgrade your Sapphire card and will later apply for a new Sapphire card. During the period in which you have no Sapphire card, what happens to your Ultimate Rewards points? Do you transfer them out of your Sapphire card before the downgrade? Can they be consolidated to an non-Sapphire card while you have no Sapphire card? Is there any danger of losing points that you want to use for future transfer to airlines or hotels?

    • @Daniel_Braun
      @Daniel_Braun  Рік тому +1

      Francis is correct in that comment! If you already have another chase card that earns UR points then your points will be safe there. The only reason you would want to transfer or use the points before downgrading the CSP is if you don’t plan to get it again in the future.
      If you plan to reapply then you will still have those points with other UR point cards and then you’ll have access to redeem them better with the new CSP. This is assuming that Chase will still approve you again though obviously. Hope that helps!

    #6 is not accurate. If you close the acct in good standing, it will not count against you. You might get a slight temporary ding by reducing your available credit. However, having too much unused credit will hurt your chances of being approved for a future card.

    • @Daniel_Braun
      @Daniel_Braun  Рік тому +1

      Hey Denny, that’s correct! That’s why I said that the account will not fall off until 7-10 years, depending on if it was in good standing or not. Like you said, the immediate impact is the drop in available credit which can affect utilization.
      My main takeaway with mistake number 6 is that most Chase credit cards with an annual fee have a no annual fee downgrade option. I think that is better than closing a card with an annual fee in 95% of cases for most people. Hopefully that makes more sense which what I meant there - but great point you made about closing a card!
