How to use a CREDIT Card like the Rich & Smart *Warning* this is not for everyone.

He guys today I wanted to talk about credit cards, these can be bad, for those who purchase items they cannot afford for those who aren't good at sticking to a budget. BUT there are ways that credit cards can be used to receive rewards, the rich and smart know this and use these tools to get free flights, air miles and rewards. So here is some info on this. Again...I'm not a financial advisor but I know a thing or two.

I'm going to hold on to those stocks and earn dividends and hopefully live off the passive income when I retire. When you know how to beat the banks in their own games, it's great.

    I have used this method to build my credit to £5000 in total spread across a few cards. I have only used £230 to buy a tumble dryer and paying off over 3 months so i don't pay interest and i put small subscriptions like netflix on my cards and set a direct debit to pay bill in full. This keeps them active and looking like i manage my credit well. I did this over a course of 18months. I am aiming for £10,000 credit in time for getting my mortgage. That should help cover any major emergencies like needing a new boiler or the roof needs repairing.

Now In my mid twenties I’ve taken the time to learn how to use to use it to my advantage. Using it and paying it off at the end of each month has significantly increased my credit score but always remember to spend within your means! This is something we preach on our channel as well.

    I've done something similar. Get a funds transfer into your current account. The handling fee these days is between 2 and 4 % and the balance is usually interest free for at least 18 months ( more on some cards.) The handling fee is well below the rate of inflation, so as long as you are using the money to buy capital appreciating assets ( eg gold or shares) then you are investing using none of your own money. Pay the minimum payment ( between .5 and 1% of the sum borrowed) on a direct debit. When the interest free period runs out, you need a way of paying it back. Or you can use another card to transfer the balance.

    Hi Patricia, so happy with your financial tips. I've only had my credit card for two years now and in the beginning I only used it for when I was on holiday. Because in alot of countries you cannot use Cirrus anymore. So I got my Mastercard to make my vacationing easier. Now I also use the card for purchases of which I want them to be insured in case something goes wrong with the seller. And I never buy things that I actually cannot afford. I have heard the horror stories of mountain high credit card debts and they scare me immensely. So I use my card wisely and only for money I already have to spend.

    YouTanyaTube I got a credit card just before I reserved my first house to build up my credit score as I’d never had credit before. I got a points credit card so I get vouchers to spend on the high street once I have enough points to redeem. To build up my credit, I used to only use my card for petrol at the beginning of the month and then pay if off straight away. Definitely one of the best things I did as my credit score is amazing. Nowadays I use my credit card for that protection for when I’m booking things for my wedding, for holidays etc. Once again another informative and fun video Patricia :) xxxx

    I have two credit cards and use them regularly. In order to avoid being in credit card debt, I pay off the balances in full every other week.

    Really great tips🙌🏾. I was that irresponsible user who never thought of my credit card as debt since I paid continuously and would sometimes just pay down the entire balance owed like twice a year just because I could. It wasnt until i had used it for an emergency that took my balance way down that i really felt the weight of living under that debt. At the beginning of 2020, I began working at correcting the habits that had lead me to where I was and thankfully I have been able to reverse the damage I did by making more responsible decisions and being proactive about financial planning. Just goes to show that it's never too late to change the course of your finances. You just need the will to do it💞

    Withdrawing money on credit card is an interesting one particularly when abroad. I found out it was a lot cheaper to withdraw money on my credit card in a country like Comoros than when I did on my debit card. I travel a lot but haven't paid attention to this until I was in Comoros. It might be same for many other locations as well.

    Credit card debt-free and loving it. I use (mainly) 2 credit cards for automatic payments for subscriptions like Netflix, gifts, and personal purchases that I pay off right away. I used all the tips and committed the "don't do" as well along the way. Presently, I am paying off my car loan of $8,000. I am in my late 50s and my credit card debt was $25,000 to $30, 000. I had to move out of my rental back home and start over financially. Now I need to let my money make me money. I want to learn about investing to generate income while in retirement.

    Yes girl! I used a secured card for a year as an intermediary between my bank and vendors, so I always paid it off in full every month because I only used it on things I was already going to buy. I built up my previously nonexistent credit score to almost perfect by pretending the really small credit limit was how much I had left in my bank 👀

    I realized that not all credit cards are created equal when it comes to interest rates, rewards, and whether or not you get a charge when you travel abroad. Thanks to my husband I am wiser now. We have travel credit cards and that means that there is no international fee. Also, we compare airfare from different sites then use our credit card apps to purchase flights and hotels and can always call them to match the lowest price not forgetting the benefit of earning travel points. We look at what the rewards are and say if this month they hv. A 5% money back on gas only at shell gas station, We compare gas prices and see if the5% is worth it. If it is, then we will get gas at Shell. Just a few ways we use our credit cards. Thanks Patricia for sharing your wisdom.

    Patricia, this content you are creating on this platform is so incredible. I am watching every video and I even ranged the bell (which i rarely do). You are not only entertaining, but also super knowledgable. I am interested in what do you think one can do with around 13k CAD in savings (I hate spending money xd) and I got a CC with a limit of 1500$ (as a newcomer with no credit score in Canada) and I am do against credit cards but they are so necessary in canada to build credit score and to even rent a car or buy tickets to concerts. I am watching your channel cause I want to know how best to deal with my savings as i don't want to spend them.

    Love this video I didn't know about only using small amount of money on credit card. I've never had one as like you was worried. My credit score is pretty good but I've been recommended to get credit card to make it better. My issue is am scared to apply for one and get rejected as it goes on your credit file and doesn't look good when applying for a mortgage and am looking to buy a house this year. I've been on websites that say the likelyhood of you getting accepted but I did this for a bank account with free overdraft and they refused me (didn't say why I think as id just recently moved) and it now is a mark against my credit score
