You still the boombox. I love it😂
I love the start of new quarters because I love to see what my favorite credit card KZreadrs are using. Since I got the Chase Freedom Flex at the beginning of the year, I’m using it for gas, groceries, dining, and Amazon for this quarter (which is the majority of my spending). Other than that, I’ll be using the Capital One SavorOne for my streaming, the American Express Blue Cash Everyday for non-Amazon online purchases, Walmart, and Sam’s Club, and the Amazon Prime Visa as my catch all card thanks to the Chase checking account bonus I got last year.
Nice video and set up Adam! I just like earlier today got approved for the IHG Premier card from Chase so in my Wallet for 2Q is: IHG card until I hit 3k in 3 months. Other cards in my wallet: CFF(7x at Restaurants), Discover IT(5% gas stations), Capital One Savor One(3% Entertainment), Amex Gold (4x grocery stores) and Venture X might be my catch all card along with the IHG card.
Just got an upgrade for my Blue Cash Everyday for the Preferred ($150 for $1000 spend). Not as great as the standard offer, but im sitting in a holding pattern due to an upcoming vehicle purchase.
I use my Sam mastercard it gets 5% cash back on gas

If trying to hit a sign-up spend requirement & if there is a 0% APR for 12+ months, I just prepay my phone/internet/utilities bills.
If you can get your spend done by overpaying utilities, do it. That’s my go to.

US Bank allows you to charge utilities and get 5% back. You can do this in two categories but you have to sign up each quarter.

Why don't you get the credit one wander card 10 % on hotel and rental cars and 5% on food and gas plus they have a huge restaurant base that will give you 5% cash back
Just wanted to share that Walmart does trigger the 5% grocery category on the AAA daily advantage card.. (At least my local walmart locations) Love all your content!

The neighborhood Walmarts or regular ones? Curious if it covers regular Walmarts and non grocery spend as well
I see you've totally stopped mentioning the Curve card :) Our setups are very similar, one big difference being that I heavily use my Curve card. Yeah, still can't add Visa to it, but it cuts carrying my 6 Mastercards (Savor, Freedom Flex, DC, CC, Rewards+, Premier) and Discover (Discover It) down to carrying 1, and automatically routes purchases based on rules I set up once at the beginning of the quarter. Takes a lot of the guess work out of it for me. Also love the GBIT so I can move purchases around later - for instance, all my dining purchases from the last 30 days only earned 5%, but now I can move them to my Freedom Flex for 7% in this quarter (I don't usually max my categories).

Out of all of these cards that you mentioned, I only have one that is the same which is the Apple credit card lol
I'm running amex blue everyday, chime credit builder and a discover it student, hoping I'll get an 800 in the next year or so
If you have freedom flex, can you transfer your points to your partners sapphire preferred account?
I usually use the AAA daily advantage at Walmart and it gets me 5%

Good to know, thanks!
I already got my airline credit and Annual fee posted but even though I have a 5k balance on my card I still haven't gotten the bonus and also the bonus tracker has disappeared in the app ever since I spent over 4k on the card. I'll be paying off the card later on this month. Hopefully I get the bonus next statement date.
A positive comment for the youtube algorithm.
Citi cards have such low restaurant limits. Five per cent on the first fifteen hundred dollars would not survive the month with my habits.
i think i got an email saying it would be 5x back for booking travel with the CCC (don't remember if it has to be on Citi portal) and that should stack with the travel category on CCC itself making it 9x?

but what is your AAoA? what is your average credit limit? what is your highest CL? it matters more than how much cards you have. Oh what is your fico score? 10 bucks you aren't even over 760.
If you normally get 3% cash back in restaurants on the Chase Freedom Flex, and then get 5% in the 2nd quarter in restaurants in the quarterly rotating categories, and you say it's "stackable," that adds-up to 8%, but you are saying it stacks to 7%. Please explain how you arrived at your 7% calculation for this card at restaurants on this card for the 2nd quarter.

Anything over 1% is considered a "bonus" so in reality you are getting 2 bonus points on the 3% and 4 bonus on the 5%, so it is 1+2+4=7
@suncat9

@@ProudMoney With all due respect, that makes no sense to me whatsoever. First of all, why is anything over 1% a bonus? I don't know where you got that from. Why should that lead to getting 2 bonus points on the 3% (that adds-up to 5%), and why should that lead to 4 bonus points on the 5% (that adds up to 9%)?
@ProudMoney

Read the fine print on Chase and many other reward cards and you will see the reward is often structured as one base point plus bonus points in certain categories. For example, 3 points per dollar is one base point plus two bonus points. When there are two offers stacked, you only get the base point once, not twice. So you get one base point plus the bonus points from each offer. So, a 3% reward stacked with a 5% reward gives you one base point, plus 2 bonus points (from the 3% offer) plus 4 bonus points (from the 5% offer). So, 1 point + 2 points + 4 points = 7 points/7% on those purchases, not 8 points --- because you only get the 1 base point once. I don't know any other way to explain it, but it is well known that this is how it works.

Dave uses a one size fits all approach, once folks understand credit it’s no longer the enemy. Makes more sense to educate folks how finances and credit works so it can be used responsibly I have well over 100K available credit never once go over 1% usage it’s called education and discipline.
