    I think it’s important to state that the reason you keep your lower tier cards even after climbing the credit ladder is that closing accounts can hurt your score

    Getting rid of cards with less perks shouldn't make that big of a difference. The credit limit on them are relatively low and it shouldn't affect credit utilization or your overall credit limit on all your debt that much. Credit cards are being handed out like candy to children in the US. It's their problem for not pre-emptively offering to upgrade your card to one of their better offerings if they have any. If you are a good customer with a particular big bank, you'll be getting junk mail from them offering you a better card from time to time. Especially if you have a lot of money tied up in their investment products or sitting in a bank account.

    It really depends on how much personal travel you do. Yes, with points you are taking a little more risk betting your points won't be devalued, but absolute worst case scenario you redeem those points for a 1 cent a piece statement credit (which any reputable credit card offers). In this sense, you always essentially have a 1% cashback card. You also can generally get a lot more value out of many of these cards then comparable cahsback cards if you're studied on the points game and know how to properly leverage points. This is especially true for hotel cards which still offer standard reward redemptions based on tiers rather than dynamic pricing like airlines. As he says in the video, you start factoring two people into a hotel stay, let alone a family, and you are really getting a great return on your money. If you don't like to or prioritize travel, or you don't want to put the work into figuring out how to leverage points, then yes, chashback is probably the best option for you, but if you do like to travel and you don't mind studying up a bit on how best to use your points, then points cards are absolutely a better deal. Just depends on your lifestyle. Points cards are literally the only way I can afford to travel, and I highly value the couple Amex cards I hold which allow me this freedom.

    I'd suggest Discover over the Capital one Platinum for Tier 1. Even the secured Discover card is pretty good since it automatically becomes an unsecured after 6-7 months. They make it easy to product change it to any of the other cards. So I went from the Secured -> Chrome IT -> IT pretty easily under a year. So now my first card is still pretty usable unlike the Platinum which has no rewards.

    Hey Ben it seems you guys run both UR and MR setups. Maybe a video discussing which system people may want to based on goals? From what I’ve read an Amex system may be better for YOLO travel given their partners while Chase setups are good for more frequent routine holidays. What do you think? The new Amex gold has me considering switching my everyday setup to Amex but still not sure. On the end 3x vs 4x on dining is not an ENORMOUS difference I don’t think and probably not enough to switch whole card setups if you’re playing a one player game.

It was the last card I went for in my app spree, I got 13 personal cards (plus a business card) in under a year, and I still was approved for $5k. For reference, the app before that was the PayPal Cash Back MasterCard and I was only approved for $300. I made sure to apply for higher priority cards that were more likely to be declined earlier and saved the easier ones for last.

    Wish I knew about you & the tier breakdown two years ago. Started with my Wells Fargo student card four years ago. It got upgraded to the platinum card- No AF no perks. Then got the Best Buy VISA (needed a new laptop in college & couldn’t afford one in full-they had the 18 month interest free). Graduated & got the Macy’s AMEX for the store rewards points and at the time Plenti Rewards for gas & grocery. And then got the TJMaxx MasterCard for store rewards. Started watching your videos and decided that since I have 4 credit cards with no real perks to just apply for the AMEX Gold. So the AMEX Gold is my only “good perks” card and it’s a tier 3. Should I cancel the store branded cards (2k, 5k, & 7k credit limit on them)? Can I upgrade my WF platinum to the Propel (it has no AF and great perks & make it my tier 2)?

And it has a good sign up bonus too! 30,000 points if you spend 3,000 in the first 3 months.

    Never close accounts in good standing. Regardless of you never use the card; it is still giving you higher AAoA, higher total credit available toward your utilization, and continuous on-time payments to leverage against possible credit difficulties that may arise in the future if you experience financial trouble. The only reason to ever cancel a card is if it is associated with an annual fee you don’t feel like paying any longer; and even then you have to weigh the negative consequences of doing so.

    Dudeee_ Just a by the way; typically credit issuers do not offer “sign up bonuses” if you are upgrading a card. They are bonuses meant to entice new customers to “sign up” (it’s in the name of the bonus). Some issuers may still offer the sign up bonus on upgrade, but the overwhelming majority do not. Contact your issuer and double-check prior to making the switch.

    So I have the chase slate as my first ever credit card because I wanted to play it safe after getting denied from the Costco card. Now after 2 years I built up my credit and just converted from my chase slate to chase freedom unlimited. Does that make my chase slate inactive? Like I can go ahead and cut it up? Also, What is your opinion on the Capital One Savor card. I am starting up school and want to take advantage of a cash back sign up bonus to cover cost of some books and was disappointed when I saw it was decreased to $300 from $500. Are there any other similar cash back cards that offer a $500 sign up bonus at this time?

    Closing a card is a temporary drop. If you use credit responsibly, your credit score will move up again, and it does not take as long as you would think.

    Are you able to pay the 400-550 fees on the top tier cards with another card? If so you could use one of the cards to buy the fee of the top tier card and have the first card reimburse you for opening it, say spend 500 and get 200 back? Can you do that?

    Here's my question: if you can get accepted for a card higher up the list with no fees as your first card, should you still start with a card that has no rewards? Personally I got an Amex British Airways reward card as my first one, and the app I used said I had an 80% chance of being accepted for even an Amex Platinum because my credit score is somehow better than the average for both my area and the UK

    If you’re concerned about how long it’ll take to get a tier 4 card. It took me 1 year and 1 month. I got my first credit card (unsecured) Chase freedom unlimited-> 3 months later Chase Sapphire Preferred -> 4 months later Chase Business Preferred -> 6 months later Amex Platinum. Love these videos they taught me how to get 260,000 in points in my first year of having credit cards.

    Tbh tier 2 is pretty great. I'd take chase freedom over Sapphire preferred any day since I don't travel much. I really wish tier 3s or 4s had options with more cashback, so if an extra 1-2% cashback covered your annual fee you'd be coming out on top.

    Deathnote819 You are partially very incorrect/ don’t know the reasoning behind it Buisness Cards are not factored into or add to your 524 , only because Buisness cards do not get reported to your personal credit report., when and if you get them...... However. The fact that and if you are already sitting at 524 as reflected by your personal credit report , IS VERY MUCH locked at when chase is considering you for an ink card. Given this information, It’s better to first apply for biz cards when first starting out, with huge exception of capital one biz cards. ( not a good strategy at all , as you WILL NOT be approved for a biz card when first starting out). Or , the more sensible route is to fit in and try for a chase biz card app , a few years down the line, in between one of your personal applications ....again though , making sure though that you are below 524 at the time of the application..... otherwise you’ll almost certainly get denied......

    You raise a really good point. I don't know about other companies, but Amex waives fees for all active duty personal on all their cards, including the $550 a year Platinum. You should absolutely shoot for that highest tier card if you have a good history and are planing to stay with the military for awhile. Open all the top tier cards and enjoy the benefits without paying for them. Even if you plan to go inactive, you can always downgrade your product to something more reasonable afterwards.
