What Card is Right for You? with John from @JohnsFinanceTips | Ep 163

(Disclaimer: Click 'more' to see ad disclosure)


Hey there, points people! Today, I'm chatting with John from @JohnsFinanceTips.


John, gives his story how he went from a college student leveraging 0% APR credit cards to becoming a full-time content creator.  We discuss the nuances of the credit card ladder, starting from secured and student cards for beginners, moving to mid-tier cards like Chase Sapphire Preferred, and scaling up to premium cards offering extensive travel perks. John emphasizes the importance of aligning your credit card choices accordingly to maximize rewards for whatever your situation may be.


John and I also explore the upper echelons of credit card tiers, where annual fees skyrocket, but so do the luxury benefits. We delve into the elusive realm of ultra-premium cards like the American Express Black Card and the JP Morgan Reserve, discussing their high barriers to entry and the exclusivity they offer. John shares his philosophy on credit card points - to earn and burn - stressing on the importance of utilizing points before they devalue. He also sheds light on the importance of being aware of your 5/24 status and strategically planning credit card applications. 


For those diving deeper into the world of points and miles, consider the Chase Sapphire Preferred Card. It's a staple for seasoned and new travelers alike.


Remember, if you decide to apply for the Chase Sapphire Preferred or any other card, never apply directly through Google – always use a friend or creator’s referral link.


If you are interested in supporting this show when you apply for your next card, check out geobreezetravel.com/cards and if you’re not sure what card is right for you, I offer free credit card consultations at geobreezetravel.com/consultations !

Let’s Talk About Cards with Daniel Braun from @_danbraun | Ep 154

(Disclaimer: Click 'more' to see ad disclosure)

Hey there, points people! Today, I’m talking with from Daniel Braun from @_danbraun

Daniel currently runs a YouTube channel that teaches millions of viewers everything from “credit card basics” to “how to get more value out of their points and miles” and has grown the channel to over 100,000 subscribers in 2 years.

In this episode, Daniel and I go through our wallets. We’re letting you in on the cards that we use every day, which ones we have that we don’t use, and which ones we don’t really think are worth having.

Daniel also highlights the Chase Freedom Flex℠ in his trifecta strategy, emphasizing its ability to earn valuable Chase Ultimate Rewards points without any annual fees. If this sounds interesting to you, then check out the Chase Freedom Flex℠ card. You can easily earn 5x on nearly anything this quarter, since one of the special bonus categories is PayPal! All you need to do is link your Chase Freedom Flex to PayPal to earn 5x on any purchase you make with PayPal.

Remember, if you decide to apply for the Chase Freedom Flex℠ or any other card, never apply directly through Google – always use a friend or creator’s referral link.

If you are interested in supporting this show when you apply for your next card, check out geobreezetravel.com/cards and if you’re not sure what card is right for you, I offer free credit card consultations at geobreezetravel.com/consultations !

And we have the links to the Chase Freedom Flex℠ and the free consultation form for you in the show notes as well. And now, on with the show!
