I don’t really churn but pic related is a my daily driver. It’s 6% on “grocery stores” but the thing is AMEX considers Walmart and Fred Meyer to be grocery stores and you can buy everything you need there.

Ok biz here goes. Been thinking about debtmaxxing & declaring bankruptcy. Labor fag. Have about 30k saved , about 30k available in current credit cards that hover around 10% use. No debt. 750 credit score. Own 2 bedroom townhouse from non Jewish loan from my parents, payed off. Rent townhouse live elsewhere basically rent free. Make about 60k a year, live extremely frugal. Been thinking about getting as many credit cards as I can, maybe a loan or two as well, maxing them all out and running off with the bags and declaring bankruptcy. Figuring I might do this while I'm still semi youngish and have time to recover from bankruptcy. Bad idea? Tips? Should I maybe get a real mortgage on another property and pay off for a little bit first? Anyone here been through bankruptcy not on purpose because your shiy at managing?

Pay the whole thing off before the due date every month and you're fine. If you spend beyond your means you're either stupid or you should have a very good reason for it.

The real redpill is that credit card companies have increased the cost of everything purchasable through CCs because stores pass the transaction fee onto the consumer. Some mom and pop stores still only deal in cash for this reason (and probably to cheat on taxes I guess) but they're few and far between as everyone loves the convenience of not having to carry cash.

Anon you literally said earlier that you rent the townhouse and it's not your primary residence. Unless you move into it and make your primary residence, it's fair game.

And for the car some of it may be protected, depends on the state. Some allow you to file for an exemption that protects $2500 of its value, some have higher limits like $7500. So if it's worth $20k, that means you're selling it and buying a $7.5k clunker to replace it.

I don't know why anons seem to think personal bankruptcy is a get out of jail free card. You need to prove true hardship and inability to pay in order for debt to just be wiped away. If you have income, assets, and the ability to pay, the court is just going to get you on a payment plan with your creditors or sell your shit to help make them whole. You can't just file some documents and get out of paying what you owe, it's not that simple.

>Churning
First determine what bills can be paid with a CC with no penalty. Me personally it's: gym membership, cell phone, pest control svc, car insurance, internet, and Netflix. careful with rent and utility payments as sometimes processors charge 5% which negates any gains. My water utility charges a flat $2.50 for cc payments, so I can use a 2% rewards card if the bill is over $140. I then assign the highest credit limit cards with the crappiest rewards to autopay one bill each. This keeps them active and it's important since higher limit cards help to build up overall credit. Next select your 'team' of cards to be used for daily expenditures. You should have some that address your highest spending habits. I have a family so I spend unholy amounts on gas and groceries. I use navy fed Amex Max Rewards to get 3% on all that. I use citi custom cash for any big non gas or grocery expense I have that month to get 5% back, and I use Wells Fargo active cash for everything else.

just default and ignore them. only 1 in 5 will bother to sue you most likely. and even if you are sued they will still allow you to default for less than the balance. most companies break several collection laws that are $2,500 per violation. learn the laws and document everything. go to creditboards(dot)c o m.

do not default on everything at once. you give debt buyers a chance to consolidate all the debt, and you make it worthwhile for them to actually pursue you. CC isn't gonna give a fuck over $2500. they will give a fuck when they can consolidate 4 cards into 10k.

anyone here have picrel?
How do I get invited to get one of these?
My dad got invited like a decade ago but he didn't think the benefits were worth $5k a year or whatever it used to be.
I spend about $25k a month. Is that enough for a centurion invite or no?

my dad does manufactured spending. i think his method is as follows:
>every week go to local grocery store or whatever big box store has a special (Lowes, Staples etc) and buy a shit ton of gift certificates. each store usually has a $2k max and he'll go to 2 or 3 weekly
>sell the giftcards to online brokers for 99.5% of their value (so $5k in gift cards turns into $4975 + $5k in points + whatever other perks like gift cards, gas, free groceries, whatever the specials are)
>stay at the same hotels and fly on the same airlines whenever he travels for work
>use the points to pay for flights and hotels so he and my mom and my sister get free trips around the world multiple times per year

it seems to work pretty well for him. i don't know what cards he uses exactly but as i understand it he'll rotate them out in order to take advantage of bonus points and matching, sign-up bonuses etc

it's a bit tricky because tactics have evolved, it seems like 10 years ago there were a lot of semi-shady ways to earn money on it but now the CC companies and points programs have gotten wise to them

I only have 2, I get cash back on both so I have my monthly bills go to them so I get something back and only have the one payment to deal with. Between the 2 cards I have a $20.5k limit but hardly use any of it. What would the benefits be of opening up more cards? I don't feel like I have much of a reason to, other than to churn.

To me cash back is the best since using travel partners is stressful and a huge waste of time. I currently have the best cash back set up, at least for my spending. It’s rather simple as well and I get 5% back most of the time and at least 3.281% on everything I buy.

1. BofA Custom Cash for 5.25% on gas
2. Another BofA Custom Cash for 5.25% on Online Shopping and 3.5% at Costco
3. BofA Premium rewards elite for 3.281% on everything and 4.375% on restaurants and general travel
4. Amex Blue Cash Preferred for effective 4.4% back on groceries ( yes it’s 6% technically but there is a 95$ annual fee and the cash back is capped at 6k). Yes I know the Citi Custom Cash would be better here but I hate Citi bank.
5. Chase Ink Cash for 5% on my phone and internet bill. Also gives 5% at office supply stores.

From here I may add the Bilt card if they add mortgage payments and also get more BofA custom cash cards for all the categories.

Now I realize this set up requires you to have at least $50k in assets with BofA/ Merrill (or $100k in my case) so it doesn’t make sense for everyone. So I will offer two other cash back set ups for those that don’t want to do this. First a no annual fee and second a high annual fee.

No annual fee-
1. PayPal Credit Card gives you 3% back on PayPal and 2% back on everything with no foreign transaction fee. To me this is the best 2% back card because of the no FTF and 3% on anything you buy with PayPal, making it almost a 3% on everything card.
2. Wells Fargo Autograph gives 3% on many categories all with no foreign transaction fee. I believe transit, gas, restaurants, cell phone plan, travel and some other stuff. Very broad categories.
3. Amex blue cash preferred for 6% on groceries and streaming services. Yes this card has a 95$ annual fee, but you can downgrade to the no annual fee version any time and that one gets only 3%. So there’s no reason to not pay the 95$ and just get an effective 4.4%. If you shop at Whole Foods exclusively you may consider using the Chase Amazon Prime card instead here
4. Citi Custom Cash for whatever category you spend the most on that hasn’t been covered for 5% on everything

From here you can go crazy if you want and add the Chase Freedom Flex, Discover IT, and store branded cards to get more 5% back. It depends on how crazy you wanna get and if you can manage so many cards.

High annual fee-
More benefits such as airport lounge access and various insurances.
1. Amex Platinum Charles Schwab edition. This card allows you to cash out MR points at 1.1 cents per point. Use this card for lounge access and to buy flights directly from the airline for 5.5% cash back
2. Amex Gold. Gives 4.4% back on groceries and restaurants
3. Amex Blue Business Plus gives 2.2% on everything up to 50k per year, then because 1.1%

I have a stable of credit cards I don't use on a daily or even an occasional basis any more, Capital One, Chase and Bank of America Visa. Every year, sometimes multiple times a year, at least one of them gives me 0% on a balance transfer or cash advance for 12-15 months. Retention perk or some shit since sometimes, if you don't take them up on it for long enough, they waive the up front transaction fee too.

If I find myself with some money leftover in my monthly budget, assuming I'm already covered on IRA and 401k contributions I'll basically use these cards as a revolving credit facility to shore up on self-directed investments. And since its all cash and no escrow unlike a HELOC or other conventional loan, there's no restrictions on what I do with it.

For example. If I find myself with $120 leftover a month and a 15 month 0% period. I'll take an advance of $1800 and set up autopay to pay a portion of it back every month. That $1800 goes straight into self-directed investments; dividend paying stocks/etfs/mutuals, stable crypto yield farming, soon to be bonds if things keep trajecting the way they are. By the time the promo period is over my balance is zero'd out again and I still have the principal value of the investment plus 0-12%

If you're feeling really saucy, and you're not a forgetful retard, you can leverage yourself by reducing your monthly payment down towards the minimum monthly payment with the assumption you're going to pay off the entire balance in a lump sum as the promo period expires. This lets you take out a larger advance while fitting it into the same budget giving you a multiple on earned yield even though you only get to keep the same amount of principal at the end of it all. Just be sure wherever you're putting it is liquid enough at EOY. You can also use this technique to "catch up" with a low yield product you have kicking around like a 0.01% savings account by paying down the card from that and levering into a higher yield investment.

don't carry a balance. if you truly need to borrow money take out a personal loan

>>54345252
if you do this just remember to pay it back before the 0% period ends because otherwise all of the interest you would have accrued during the intro period will be tacked on at once
