Insurance ( auto, homeowners, renter’s ) and pet care ( veterinary, food ) are just 2 categories that are not commonly covered under the 5% categories. Discover has mobile payment this quarter and does help a lot
@TheCreditFrog
@TheCreditFrog Год назад
Yeah, you're totally right! A lot of the service based industries are harder to cover at the 5% level as well as insurance and taxes so, of course, we have to try to supplement them with a catch-all, or like you mentioned, those rotating category cards can sometimes catch them as well!

This is one of my favorite video topics and I thoroughly enjoyed this one. The beauty of a cashback setup is you really don't have to be tied down to 1 or 2 lenders to get value from your cards which is what makes these videos so fun. I'd say you came up with a pretty great list Stan! Nice work!
@TheCreditFrog
@TheCreditFrog Год назад
Thanks Spencer!! Yes, I think it's such a fun activity to see if you can make a 5% cash back setup to cover all of your major categories. I agree that having the freedom to move between issuers to maximize that multiplier is super liberating, and I (kind of) miss the days when all I had were no annual fee cards - looking back, I think I ran a no annual fee setup for the first 7-8 years I had credit cards - which is crazy looking at me now - probably just making up for lost time. Or having a mid-life crisis 🤣

This is a thoughtful and well-researched strategy here Stan! I really like how you were able to build out an all-purpose 5% cash back setup without leaning on the BofA CCR and/or a bunch of Citi Custom Cash cards 😂 (while still showing their potential closer to the end). I think the setup you created is more accessible to those who can’t reach that Platinum Elite status or just wouldn’t want to move assets around to BofA/Merrill. Well done sir!
@TheCreditFrog
@TheCreditFrog Год назад
Thanks Josh! Yeah, I definitely didn't want to focus on the CCC and BofA CCR because that would make things a little too easy. Accessibility is key, especially for these no annual fee setups. Having said that, the CCC is pretty accessible to everyone and should be one of the first cards to get in a 5% cash back strategy. Appreciate you, bro!!

Thanks Tony! Yeah, I tried to make this more fun an interactive, so I'm glad you were able to play along. I think the easiest way to get 5% cash back on everything would be as many CCC and BofA CCR cards you can get, but it's not as interesting if I just said that like you mentioned! But multiple CCCs + BofA CCRs can be an effective strategy if you want to go that route!!

Awesome video! I believe you can't have two AAA cards, but if you have a player two, you could get one each. If not, probably best to get whatever card has the category you spend more on. For EV charging, you could add the Citi Costco Anywhere Visa card as it gets 4% back up to $7k/year.

be careful with CITI, they calculate due dates and late fees extremely strictly, unlike every other credit card company. you are basically late if you dont pay the cc charge immediately on the last day of the 30 day billing cycle the transaction was made. no one else does this. also their online portal will count your scheduled payment as a day late if its made after 5pm eastern time. they also increased their late fee from 30$ to 40$ this year. so draconian. i have 15 credit cards, i pay every single one of them by hand every month on the same day, and CITI's draconian rules has caused me to get a couple late fees. they even invented a difference between the statement ending day and the payment due date. so basically your payment is due like 2-3 days (depending on if its a business day or not) before the end of your statement end date. this is so bizarre to me.... gives me scammy 2010 wells fargo overdraft fee vibes. I would never do auto pays with how high interest rates are, ide rather keep an extra $2000 in my synchrony savings account @4.5% until the last week of the month.... but CITI is costing me a lot of lost interest because i have to keep more money in my 0% apr checking than i normally would to pay their dumb bill 4 times a month. what a nightmare.

An honorable mention for gas is the Marcus GM rewards card. With the card if you spend $1,500 in a calendar year you get $100 back as a statement credit on top of the 1% you're earning (works out to roughly 7.65% back). Anything over that $1,500 doesn't get you anything substantial so I switch to a 3% gas card after. You'd have to break down the math for yourself on if a flat 5% would end up earning you more but in my case spending $150 a month on gas the GM card works great.
@TheCreditFrog
@TheCreditFrog 11 месяцев назад
Great suggestion! Yeah $1,500 in gas at that multiplier rate can really go a long way! I think if you’re willing to do the math and switch out cards as needed, this is another great gas card to add to the portfolio!

EXTREME 5X Sweet video. I'm loving the Custom Cash Card and the Customized Cash Rewards card. Question: I know you can get a second CCC but how would you go about getting a 3rd one, the same with the CCR ? Would an additional one be the Susan Kormen one? Is the a video on how to get multiples of the same? Thanks for the video.
@TheCreditFrog
@TheCreditFrog Год назад
Of course man! Yeah, so when it comes to the BofA CCR cards. You can product change ANY BofA family cards to the CCR (UR, TR, PR, PR Elite). Probably best to wait 1 year before the product change so that will slow you down a little. That strategy, plus the Susan G Komen card, like you mentioned, can help you get an ARMY of CCR cards. Then add Player 2 and double that, or you can run simultaneously to save time. With Platinum Honors, you could have like 6-8 CCR cards with 5.25% on your choice 3% category which is insane! Then add the Citi Custom Cash with P2, and maybe have 2 of those as well 🤯. That's why I didn't focus on those cards in this video because I feel like that's cheating 🤣

Great video. Biggest holes from this that I see are (i) kids expenses (if you have them), (ii) rent/mortgages (common Bilt for the latter for even 1x!!), (iii) home services other than utilities (think Ring/ADT or your lawn guy), (iv) medical expenses, (v) pets, and (vi) insurance expenses. Anyone have any strategies with any of these? Understand there’s going to be holes of course but figure I’d ask just in case. I’d also be interested in seeing this list with small annual fee cards included too (i.e. Blue Cash Preferred or US Bank Shopper Cash Rewards). Finally, can you product change to get multiple US Bank Cash+, Citi Custom Cash, or BofA Customized Cash Rewards cards? I’m guessing yes with some work?
@TheCreditFrog
@TheCreditFrog Год назад
Thanks Jordan! Yes, you bring up some very good points about expenses that are unlikely to be covered by the 5% category. It comes down to breaking down each category into it's own respective goods and services. For example, kids goods and items can be purchased using retail/online shopping, but services such as childcare can't be bought on Amazon (yet). LIkewise, medical and insurance expenses are more service-based expenses and so they fall out of that "goods" category that could be purchased retail or online. I will say that one loophole I've found that has been pretty effective is the BofA business customized cash rewards card with its computer services and business consulting services category. When paired with Business Preferred Rewards, this category can get up to 5.25% in those categories, which are a lot more expansive then I realized. For example, I use Adobe to make YT stuff, and this subscription falls under the computer services category. I've also used Fiverr to do some freelance jobs, and that codes under business services. I think that card is a card that could help in those service-type of expenses, but it'd depend on the merchant category code. When you get the card, you get a pamphlet with all the MCCs and if your interested, I show that pamphlet in my unboxing video on that card. I think it would be awesome to see what kind of setup that could be built with mid-tier cards ($95 annual fee cards, etc)! I'll add that idea to my list. And yes, you can product change to multiple Citi Custom Cash and BofA CCR cards. Essentially wait for 1 year and do the PC (DC and Premier for CCC and UR/TR/PR/PR Elite for the CCR). It's not that much work, but you do have to wait at least 1 year. This could go faster with a P2 👍!

Thanks Nick! That's so interesting. I've never used the Chase Travel portal myself, so I didn't realize that you overspend when using the portal itself. The only bank travel portal I'm familiar with really is with BofA, and that one matches the airline websites 1:1. In that case, you may have to use a second CCC card, another BofA CCR w/ PH, and figure out a new strategy for that dining category! That travel/dining dichotomy is tricky to deal with without using either of those two cards so all I was left with was 5X Chase Travel portal 😕

Loved how you covered this topic! I'm not too familiar with citi yet and am wondering, can you transfer points earned from a p2's CCC to p1's portal and then transfer to external partners if p1 has the citi premier?
@TheCreditFrog
@TheCreditFrog Год назад
Thanks so much! Yes, so Citi does have this "points sharing" feature when you can enter a family/friend's Citi ThankYou points account number and you can transfer your points from your account that other person's account to get the rewards benefits associated with the person with the Citi Premier card!

This might seem like an obvious question but in the same way one has to have an Abound Credit Union bank & savings account to get their gas card, does one have to be AAA member to get the AAA cards talked about?
@TheCreditFrog

Nope, you can get the AAA cards whether or not you’re a member of AAA! It’s quite nice in that regard.

Anybody tried getting both and *if so how long did you wait between applications between the two AAA cards?* Haven't heard much feedback Stan awhile ago (though the card was newer) and have been that wondering myself.
@TheCreditFrog
@TheCreditFrog 11 месяцев назад
I think the general consensus was that you actually can't get both cards, although, if you have a P2, you could definitely get one, and your P2 can get another.

How about Costco, Sam's club, and bjs?
@TheCreditFrog
@TheCreditFrog Год назад
I think Sam’s Club has a credit card that gets you 5% back at Sams club so if you’re looking for a warehouse 5% category, that would be a great option! Don’t think there’s one for Costco, and I’m not familiar with BJs but maybe they have a card with some good cash back!

This is the ideal setup! One caveat though, I don't think you can have both of the Triple A cards, you have to choose one or the other; which sucks.
@TheCreditFrog
@TheCreditFrog Год назад
Yes, that's what I heard as well! One way around this is to do a P1/P2 setup, or that Abound credit card for gas would work great if you got the AAA daily advantage card. Also, someone brought up the Sam's club card which gets 5% on gas, which is pretty good too!

Stan The "Rose Gold" Credit Frog, are you team Eric or team Luke when it comes to the Chase World of Hyatt credit card? Is it a God mode card or a junk card?
@TheCreditFrog
@TheCreditFrog Год назад
First of all, love your name! Not sure where you came up with "Rose Gold" Credit Frog, because I am forever on Team Classic Gold!! But on to your question. I'm actually on Luke's side when it comes to the WOH card. I think that the FNA is pretty good, especially given the $95 AF on the card, but the multipliers do suck, so if you stay at a lot of Hyatt properties, and want to make Hyatt your main transfer partner strategy using Chase UR or Bilt, then I could see the draw, and from that perspective it's a great card. Otherwise, cards like the Chase Ink Preferred, in my opinion, are better.

Yes! I did this two months ago. I held my Double Cash for more than a year, and product switched to another CCC with no problem at all. I use Custom Cash # 1 for gas exclusively, and the other one I leave it unused for a miscellaneous category that might pop up randomly. It actually worked for me this month because I had some purchases to make at Home Depot that were just under the $500 cap. I always leave it open for a decent sized purchase on a monthly basis.
