The Amazon Prime Visa
I've had excellent credit for years. I was 750+ ten years ago when I qualified for my mortgage. I've been in the 800 club for at least the last 4 years. But for some reason, Chase wouldn't approve me for the Amazon Prime Visa. Over the last few years I've applied and been rejected three times with no clear indication as to why. Well, 4th time's the charm, I guess, because I finally got approved! 🎉🍾🎉 5% cash back on all Amazon purchases! Woohoo!
Sorry, I'm done. Just wanted to share the exciting news.
This system is abhorrent, but I'm finding it necessary to be part of if I'd even like to get a newer car or buy a house, so thank you for teaching me about it.
I saw already 5 other videos about what credit score is. & this hands down the best video. Broken down super well and so easier to understand Ty
Facts bro
thanks for teaching me!freshly going into adulthood and done have parents who can help me so this is a good start to teaching myself so I can rent a place
This is a great video. Thanks for explaining this.
This was a great detailed breakdown of credit. Awesome content, keep it coming!
Thank you!!! :D
Thanks bc I didn’t know anything about credit loans etc i wish they would teach us this in high school instead of that other stuff, this was very helpful
Great video.thanks
Very informative, thank you

The USA to Chi a be like: 👀👀👀
Tell me your a blood without telling me your a blood
Thanks for the video 😊👍🇺🇲❤️
Great. My mom put me on one of her accounts so she could give me a credit card and have me run errands for her. But she stalls paying off her credit cards because it stresses her out. I had no idea her adding me to the account could impact my credit. Not that she asked first.
Amazing 🎉
Whats the best way to start building my credit if im 18
What if you use all your credit what is going to happen as a student
My credit cards are already backed by my investrd gold, bonds, stock. Do you understand? No limit.
Question I owe you 2 grand to Telus back in 2019 and it’s out for collection should I pay it off or just leave it it till my credit clears?
Talk to a CFA. Many banks give you a certain number of appointments with one for free, and they'll be in a much better position to answer this than some randos in the youtube comments
NOW I KNOW EVERYTHING
You're darn right you do!!! :D
If I have a credit card and never use it, does this contribute to my total number of payments/payment history?
No. If you're not using your credit card then you dont have a payment. If you dont make a payment there is no payment history.
I’m told it’s actually worse for your score if you have an active credit card that isn’t being used
@@linktothepast100 Perhaps.
I don’t really like debts!
The information in this video is misleading. I was on the phone with one of their reps, and I was advised that it only builds the credit of your spouse, not your child or other added users.
My boyfriend added me on his (no legal tie so it's not like the company knew our relationship) and it boosted my credit a lot.
You guysss still leaving in the stone age lol
Who uses accounts procedure to repair credit score this days
Lol f..k credit scores
🤓☝
This is a very stupid way to have to live your life.

25 point disparity in my credit score
Navy Federal and Discover both offer free credit scores based on reporting from TransUnion, however, NFCU is reporting my credit score 25 points lower than Discover. Anyone have any info on why this is? They were both updated within the last week.
