    Fun fact that Amazon card also comes out with a ton of promos that are really helpful.
    The last one I had was from 10/01/2022 to the first of the year and the special was 10% back on all gas purchases

    Good discussion. Just a PSA that's it's possible to be a Financial Mutant™ and have many, many, credit cards...I'd even argue the most extreme Financial Mutants are big in the credit card game. It requires a decent amount of time to track them all but the golden rules are pay off statement balance every month (obviously) and make sure you're getting more value back than the annual fee. Lots of folks think it's bad for your credit score but to the contrary, it helps. The short-term, negligible ding for the hard-credit-pull is more than offset by the lower credit utilization ratio you'll have with the additional lines of credit (assuming your spend stays flat as you open new cards).

    Capital One Venture X is a great one for frequent travelers. 2% base rate on everything, 5% on flights and 10% on hotels. $300 travel credit every year and $100 in anniversary points is equivalent to the annual fee. So as long as you travel at least once per year, you're basically getting a top tier travel card with no annual fee.
    You get a $100 credit for either Global Entry or TSA Pre-Check reimbursement. The Capital One lounges are very nice. And there is no fee for additional users, so adding your spouse is free unlike the Chase Sapphire Reserve.
    I use the COVX as my primary card for 90% of purchases and the Amazon card for anything I buy on Amazon. Thousands of dollars of value every year. Big fan of both!

    The Ramsey team pulls the moral card like “oh don’t use rewards cause they’re funded by people who pay interest” , like they don’t wear Nike products or something made by people in sweat shops. Wish they’d stop the virtue signaling on credit cards.

    • @shaferaustin4068

      I used to think that way as well. But the credit card companies are also making money off of transaction fees. They get a cut of the transaction and so do we with rewards. I consider the ridiculously high interest rates as a deterrent for carrying a balance. If they wanted everyone to go into debt and make money off the interest, they would lower the interest rates to incentivize paying interest. I did all my spending with cash for years and now that I know my budget inside and out, it would just be leaving money on the table by not using a credit card

    In Canada the Prime MasterCard is only 2.5%, wish we had 5% lol. A work around I've seen is buying Amazon (or any stores) gift cards at the grocery store (I get 4% there with Amex), and using that for Amazon and others. Definitely more annoying but still an option.

    Can the Money Guy Show do a video on credit cards and explain actual point values and long term cost basis?
    When are “premium” credit cards worth it?
    How many credit cards are reasonable?
    How much spending (in categories) is needed to make a card worth it?
    Are redeemed travel points worth the equivalent 1¢ value?
    Should you redeem cash value or use the points?
    I understand high net worth individuals and career travelers using premium cards, which may cost $500+ annually. But how much does one need to spend for that to be worth it. I’m 27 and know multiple people who currently maintain multiple “premium” cards, but have they actually used them enough to justify the cost. If someone is only spending 20k annually on their card, rarely travels (always on the cheap), should they have fees of over $600+ ?
    My friends have chase reserve, Amex gold, etc….

    Citi or Barclays American Airlines cards that get major bonus miles. We travel on major international trips every year business class on affiliate airlines ie Japan Air, Qatar Airways, British Air… at no charge. These tickets are $10,000 to $20,000 each. That is what we do and works with our wants and needs… 2-3 miles per $. We charge all utilities, grocery, gas everything…

    Paypal is Synchrony, but it's a 2x card everywhere AND 3x on any purchase through Paypal. That and Amazon Card are my 'store cards'
    I have a Wyndham Business card, 8x on gas, I get Diamond Wyndham status, and It matches with Diamond status at Caesars Resorts.
    Diamond Status with Caesars gets me a $100/year dining credit, which gets spent at Gordon Ramsey which nullifies the yearly fee.

      It's not difficult to have a couple of rewards cards. Set them up for automatic bill presentment and bill pay and you never run a balance and you rarely have to log in to look at them. Use an account integration service and you can see all the transactions in one place even if you're using multiple accounts.
      Also an additional 1-2% is pretty non-trivial over the course of all your spending. I average over 3% cash back and spend about $30,000/year on my cards. That's a savings of around $1,000/year. What could you do with an additional $1,000/year?
      Sure, it's not worth sweating over at check-out, but if you don't have the cards in your wallet, you'll never see those additional savings pile up.
      Turning it around, if we shouldn't worry about 1-2%, why would we worry about paying 1%/year on a mutual fund expense ratio? Or 1-2%/year on financial advisory fees? Maybe because those expenses add up over time?
