Credit card general. What cards are you stacking, bros?

I have an AMEX gold card and recently acquired the Hilton surpass card. After I get the welcome bonus on this one, I’m thinking about getting the no fee delta card because I live near a delta hub

I got the normal Hilton card last month. Just got my 100,000 honors point bonus. Basically enough for 2 hotel stays. Might open up a Marriot card next if there are any good bonuses.

points. but most importantly, something poor fags here wont get, credit cards have limits. a discover with a 10k limit is no help, espeicallly if you wanna keep your utilization below 10%. That is only 1k a month in spending power to be conservative. Amex is a charge card, so however high my balance is at the end of the month has no negative effects on my goyscore.

>>53825807
This. Retards max out their cards easily. If you make a big purchase on your card, pay off the balance ASAP. Leaving a balance usually isn’t bad if it’s under 30% though. Under 10% is always the best obviously.

*yawn* credit cards are a scam. i don't care about 1% cash back. would rather save my $100 than spend $100 just to earn a measly $1. all cc companies are run by kikes so there is your other reason. intro bonuses are great and all but you still need to forcefully spend money to get the bonus. why not try to not spend at all?

If you don’t spend money you don’t have, you won’t have an issue. It’s nice to earn extra shit/points/whatever by spending $1000 in a month and paying it off in time instead of spending $1000 on a debit card. And I agree they’re overall scammy as fuck but they help my goyscore so whatever.

l use it for travel and maintenance. I open a cc every 2 years to get a free money.

Have all of your mobile bank apps all grouped in a folder accessible by faceid, solves the issue of staying on top of it. I manage all this when i take a shit. I also have a wallethub account to keep track of all my credit cards and my credit score. You can literally have 10 credit cards, all with 0 balance and never pay a dime. 810 credit score btw.

I have a total credit limit above 100k and a couple cards with limits above 30k. My utilization is below 1% and I pay my full balance every month. My credit score is above 800.

I have a few cards I use to optimize my cash back.

NFCU black card: 2% on everything and 3% on travel
Amex blue cash: 3% on gas and groceries
Amazon card : 5% on Amazon
Chase freedom: 5% on rotating categories
Discover it: 5% on rotating categories.

All told I probably average 3/4% on all purchases. I also have little labels on my cards which show what they're good for.

Best ones are the Amex Hilton Honors Aspire for hotels & whatever is your airport's main airline card if you fly a lot. I use United Club Infinite.

Can also get Amex Platinum for status but it's gotten worse over the years.

The best card is the Hilton one. Free nights in 5 star resorts, save hundreds/thousands on room upgrades & discounts on rooms, etc...

you wont get charged interest if you pay your balance every month.

the only way it's a "risk" for anyone is if they're too stupid to keep track of their spending.

You can use any credit card as a charge card, retard. If you spend $10k on a card with a $10k limit and pay it off before the closing date, it won't affect your goy score. At least you have the option of not paying it in full at the end of the month if you really needed the extra money.

get a secured credit card and use it for a year while keeping utilization below 25% and pay off your balance every month. after a year you will probably have enough established credit to go for a real card and get your deposit back on the secured card.

You should at least have a checking account with a bank at this point, right? Walk into your branch and talk to one of the advisors and they will tell you which one of their cards you qualify for so you can start building credit on it. Or call them on the phone if you’re autismal.

If anything a debit card is more risky because your bank is not obligated to cover you in the case of fraud. Also if the vendor fucks you the credit card company can get your money back and your bank can't.

Got the Gemini card recently for their 10% back on gas promo for the first year.

I'm not going to get into details but I have a couple of small, unknown crypto-to-fiat/CEX credit cards from foreign countries. Of course only from countries where the banks are obliged to report all transactions to the EU and the US so I can file my taxes correctly. Definitely not from the few countries outside of those jurisdictions. It's important to pay your part.
