3 paths available to catch them all.. - Go full Yolo and hunt SUBs highest wins. - Get the first few Chase cards while under 5/24 and then full LOL/24 and return later when velocity cools down - or just start with Chase 5/24 and hover there gardening forever getting other cards when possible while also rotating Chase SUBs maintaining 5/24

@@coreyw5981 if they don't cost you anything, there's no reason to get rid of them. Shove them in a drawer somewhere and forget about them, and maybe they'll cancel themselves after so many years of inactivity, or maybe they wont. I have a credit account from a card I lost well over 10 years ago that is totally inactive and unusable, but it still shows up on my report and counts towards my number of revolving accounts for some reason.

​@@coreyw5981If they have no annual fee, why not keep them on your credit report by buying something small on them every year or so? Seems like a waste just to drop cards that help your credit history that much.

The way I see it, 1) One decent cash back card with at least 2% for catch-all, 2) a max cash back card that gives you 5% in one category and maybe >2% in another category, 3) A travel card that has no foreign transaction fee. It's all about balance. Thanks for the video Dan, and for sharing as you always do.

Great video. That's quite a bit of credit cards.

Great video! As a CFP I LOVE that you acknowledge that different people have different financial goals/relationships with money and trying to reach outside of that could be more harmful than good. It may be easy to just say "everyone should have 20 credit cards" but you know that's not the case and still empower people to reap all the benefits they can within a system logical/comfortable for them! Keep up the great videos!

Thank you for this excellent educational video! The information you covered was exactly what I was needing to find out. Carry On Sir!

Great video sir! I think for lots of people it can get overwhelming having a bunch of cards from different lenders. That’s another reason why getting a setup like the Chase trifecta is great, and even adding on the capital one duo after isn’t so bad either. With that you have 5 cards, but only 2 different apps to manage them.

Great video 📹 👍

I hope you pay your editor well because these video edits are SICK! Goes very well with the content, makes it more digestible without being obnoxious. This is definitely the best credit card breakdown I've seen. I've never considered surpassing 3 credit cards, but this got me thinking. If I find cards with no annual fees and use them tastefully, I can get a nice travel stack and some meaty signup bonuses with no substantial loss to myself. I'm Canadian so can't use the stacks shown here persay, but I'll do some research and consider nabbing a couple more cards. I like the idea of the 5-8 card "sweet spot", makes sense if you can manage it.

I am always baffled when people say they only use debit cards. Either they are financially irresponsible or don't trust themselves. Currently at (8) credit cards and last years cash back equated to just shy of $4,000.

I currently have 4 CC and my wife gave full control of her Amex preferred so technically 5 and I think I’m done. I’ll just upgrade my venture one to a VX within time and call it after that

I only use 4. Autograph, gold, bilt and platinum

Most average Americans I think should have it least 2-4 credit cards. The people who have 10+ or 20+ like Daniel are credit card experts who know a lot about the industry. Best thing to do is have a bonus category card that matches your highest spend categories and a flat rate 2% card that is your catch all card if you are looking for a simple 2 card setup. Good luck everyone!

6 to 8 is the sweet spot. Got my core then added hotel cards

I got 2 and I going to close one next year. I’m not putting myself back into debt. I just hoping I get to upgrade my Cap one quicksilver one card.. To the regular quicksilver.

Thank you Daniel!

Having more than 10 cc's sounds insane to me. Like you can cover just about all the normal budget categories with 5-7 cc's for sure with maybe 1 or 2 niche ones.

Daniel, what do you think of having Wells Fargo active cash + autograph cards? Being able to transfer points from active cash to autograph and then from autograph to travel partners seems like a great deal considering both these cards are free. Better combo than chase due to the $95 annual fee?

I think the real question should be something like. What is your purpose or goal with getting a credit card or cards. Also how many can you manage.

I have the Capital One duo for travel, and I was thinking about potentially getting into the Chase trifecta sometime early next year for more benefits. What is the best 5 card strategy for using those two ecosystems together, and how do I optimize spending between all of the cards?

@faizpkmn129

Ай бұрын

Its a little harder to say to get the chase trifecta but I would def get the freedom flex. You can capture the 5% categories and later on get the CSP to transfer out your points. Wouldn’t necessarily recommend the CFU since your VX is a better catch all.

@faizpkmn129

Ай бұрын

Card 5 really can be whatever you think would pick up some slack in your setup. You could think about a hotel or airline card if you think it would help or if willing, consider the amex gold and the uber benefits you can stack with the savor one. Your gold card is the better food/grocery card and it provides 3x on travel which would be the highest you can get when booking flights outside the chase and CO travel portals

Gotta max them all out 😂

Any comment on the bill being put forth in congress which would stop all of us of our cash back points?

Why would you choose to combine the chase trifecta with the capital one duo in a 5 card rotation considering many of their benefits / spending multipliers overlap each other? (Really curious to know, i have the 4 cards myself & i was considering considering getting the venture x)

U can loop and cycle the sign up bonuses for all the cards if u create a 2 year schedule for it. This means every year you should be receiving sign up bonuses that contribute to a total travel or cashback fund. Easily can get to $2k cash back by doing this for 2 years

Just optimize for Travel. Most of the supplementary-ecosystem cards like the Capital One Savor One to the Venture X or the Chase Freedom Flex to the Sapphire Preferred offer cash back that you can choose to convert to travel points if you also have the more expensive travel card. But if you'd rather have cash back for whatever reason just don't convert it into miles

Not seeing the need for the freedom unlimited if you have capitol 1 venture x. Is there a good reason?

@nostalgiakid100

Ай бұрын

Yeah I was thinking the same thing. My guess is that he’s assuming you started with the chase trifecta (which includes the unlimited as the catch all option) then moved on to add the venture x and savor rewards cards. At that point the unlimited is redundant since the capital one cards have better catch all rewards, but you shouldn’t close it because credit history. It can also still be useful as a secondary catch all if you need to save up chase points to use on one of their travel partners that doesn’t overlap with capital one

Robinhood gold also gives you $1,000 at no margin which you could probably invest to cover that annual fee

Would you count line of credits from credit unions and Paypal (Credit & Smart Connect) as a credit card for my total?
