[47]
all right so the best online shopping and overall best car has got to be the
[51]
Amazon Prime Rewards Visa Signature card issued by Chase and we'll talk about all
[55]
the gems of this card and then we'll jump into the doo doo so of all of the
[59]
cards we're gonna discuss this card has got quite a few shining gems first off
[63]
you get a whopping 5% back on all Amazon and Whole Foods purchases if you're a
[68]
Prime member and that's unlimited so no caps to worry about no rotating
[72]
categories you'll also get two percent back at restaurants and gas stations and
[76]
drug stores for all other purchases you'll get one percent back now this is
[79]
a zero percent annual fee card but we'll discuss that a little more in a minute
[83]
it's an open loop card meaning you can use it anywhere Visa or MasterCard
[86]
accept it and you also get a little signup bonus you'll get a $50 Amazon
[90]
gift card and if you have a prime account you'll get a $70 gift card
[93]
there's also no foreign transaction fees which I love and you get an extended
[97]
manufacturer's warranty plan which adds on an extra year on to the
[100]
manufacturer's warranty you also do have the option to choose 5% back or special
[105]
financing on purchases over a certain amount and all honesty the 5% back is
[109]
typically the better deal though so let's talk about the doo doo first of
[113]
all it does have a high ongoing APR currently at the time of making this
[116]
video is between sixteen point forty nine percent to twenty four point forty
[120]
nine percent depending on your creditworthiness the other issue is in
[123]
order to get the five percent back on amazon purchases you do need to have an
[127]
Amazon Prime account which can be a little pricey as I'm making this video
[131]
the Amazon Prime membership fee is 109 18 dollars sort of break even on your
[134]
Prime membership you would need to spend about 2,400 annually so who is this card
[139]
for well if you're like us and you love low prices and fast shipping and you
[144]
already have an Amazon Prime membership there's no reason not to have this card
[148]
and reap the rewards benefits most general credit cards offering 5% back
[152]
have quarterly spending caps and rotating categories so you can see how
[156]
good this offer is now when it comes to everyday shopping I think the best
[160]
credit card and one of the toughest to be is honestly the target red card
[165]
it offers target fanatics a 5% discount every day on most things in the store as
[170]
well as online purchases including in-store Starbucks for all you coffee
[174]
addicts out there one thing I love about this card is its simplicity
[178]
there's no rewards or points to accumulate for a reward certificate it's
[182]
simply 5% discount on most purchases you'll also receive free shipping on
[186]
most items online there are a few exclusions like prescriptions
[190]
unfortunately clinic services eye exams gift cards so you'll have to check that
[194]
out for yourself but you also get an extra 30 days to return items so that's
[198]
a nice little buffer if something doesn't work out for you another cool
[202]
thing you can do is stack savings with this card by using the target cartwheel
[206]
app and target subscriptions and gain savings of up to 55% so take advantage
[211]
of the extra savings by the way there is no annual fee so there's no need to try
[215]
and break even with this card the target red card is also offered in a debit card
[219]
version that way you can link straight to your checking account so there's no
[223]
interest to worry about or credit card balance to manage and you get all the
[227]
same benefits as the credit card one of the biggest duties is the hefty
[230]
variable APR and at the time of filming it's 25 point 15% so make sure you're
[235]
not carrying a balance with this card or else it will completely wipe out any of
[239]
the savings you were making it is a closed looped card so you can only use
[243]
it at Target unfortunately but with the capability to shop online get free
[247]
shipping you can pretty much get whatever you need if you don't live
[250]
close to a physical store or they don't have what you need in that exact store
[254]
now the shipping of three to five days can honestly be slow if you do need a
[259]
product immediately and you don't like waiting you'll probably want to check
[261]
out the Amazon card we just mention so who is this card for them it's honestly
[266]
for the everyday but especially for Target loyalists with
[269]
a 5% discount on most purchases in-store and online with free shipping and 30
[274]
extra days for returns it makes for a great card but I would advise anyone who
[278]
can't manage to pay their balances or remain financially responsible stay away
[283]
from this carpet that's hefty 25 point 15% variable APR or move to the debit
[288]
card version of the target red card one of my all-time favorite cards in my
[292]
wallet to use for shopping dining travel and gas is the Costco anywhere visa
[296]
issued by Citibank it's quite literally a Swiss Army knife card if you don't
[300]
want to carry around a whole lot of cards there are a lot of gems with this
[303]
card so hang in there as I explain them all to you guys being a Citibank Card
[307]
you get access to their extended manufacturer's two-year warranty perk
[311]
trip cancellation price protection with city price free wine and worldwide car
[315]
rental insurance it's got a lot of the same person the city double cash card if
[320]
you check out that video right here it's also a cash back card so you can redeem
[324]
that cash to use anywhere which I love but it is an annual cash back system
[329]
unlike the citi double cash card that you can redeem at any time it's four
[333]
percent cashback on gas purchases up to seven thousand dollars annually by the
[337]
way Costco on average is already twenty five cents cheaper than other gas
[340]
stations making Costco membership worth it if you commute a lot you'll also get
[345]
three percent cashback on restaurants and travel which includes bars cafes
[349]
lounges and fast food then you get two percent cash back on all Costco
[354]
purchases it's an open loop card so you'll get one percent anywhere visa is
[358]
accepted as well it also doesn't have a foreign transaction fee or annual fee
[362]
but a Costco membership is required which we'll talk about here in a minute
[366]
out of all the cards we've been discussing this card has the closest
[369]
variable APR to the national average at the time of filming is 17 point forty
[374]
nine percent but as much as I love Costco there is some duty to talk about
[378]
so the card is gonna require a Costco membership which is gonna cost you
[381]
anywhere from 60 to 120 dollars a year but the savings in Kirkland brand items
[385]
and gas alone can pay for itself the other downside is cash back rewards
[390]
are only paid out annually so you'll have to wait to collect on those
[393]
unfortunately so who's this card for if you're already a Costco shopper the card
[397]
is an absolute no-brainer it's
[400]
especially with its massive rewards and when it comes to gas and dining as well
[403]
as great rewards on travel and broad categories guys be sure to click that
[407]
subscribe button right down there so you can get access to all the newly released
[411]
content we have lined up for you guys to help you generate more well best card
[416]
when it comes to purchasing clothing is gonna be the gap Visa credit card issued
[419]
by synchrony it's a zero dollar annual fee card and is an open end loop cart so
[424]
you can use it outside of gap guys now the great thing about this card is it
[427]
covers other stores underneath the gap umbrella so you'll earn five points for
[431]
every dollar you spend that gap gap Factory Old Navy Banana Republic and
[436]
Athleta giving you a wider assortment of clothing to choose from unlike most
[440]
store cards out there so for any purchase outside of this umbrella it's
[444]
one point for every dollar spent I love it because the point system is
[447]
straightforward and easy to use for every 500 points you accumulate you'll
[450]
receive a five dollar reward that can be used at any Gap store and when you apply
[454]
you'll also get 20% off your first purchase within the first 30 days plus
[459]
free shipping if you order online now if you reach the Gap silver status you can
[463]
receive additional benefits such as free three to five day shipping on all online
[466]
shipping a quarterly bonus of 20% choose your own day sell and free basic
[471]
alterations on apparel from Banana Republic but in order to reach that
[475]
silver status you'll need to earn 5,000 reward points in a calendar year this
[479]
card does have some doodoos as well though it has an extremely high variable
[483]
APR of 28.24 percent at the time of filming this so this card could
[488]
essentially wipe out any potential savings if you carry this balance so
[492]
stay financially responsible guys with credit cards as always and points can
[496]
take a while to add up on this card to reach 500 points you would typically
[499]
need to spend $100 at Gap stores in order to get the $5 rewards which can
[504]
only be redeemed at Gap stores but if you have a family you know
[508]
back-to-school shopping can get pricey so you could rack up points fast with
[511]
shopping for your kids spouse and yourself there is a cap on the award
[515]
amount you can receive in a billing cycle and it's set at $250 right now so
[520]
your remaining points will carry over though and your points also have to be
[523]
used within 24 months now one of the biggest warnings with this card that you
[527]
need to pay attention to is the application process you might end up
[531]
with a card you didn't when you apply your consider for the gap
[535]
visa card and the gap card which are different if you don't qualify for the
[539]
gap visa card you could be considered for the gap card which is a closed-loop
[543]
credit card so make sure your credit score is in good standing before
[546]
applying so who's this car for it's best for
[549]
someone who does a lot of clothing shopping at any of the Gap stores
[552]
ideally at least once a month for themselves or their family like I
[556]
mentioned if you have a family you'll be able to rack up points pretty fast
[559]
however if you are the least bit worried about carrying your credit card balance
[563]
do not apply for this card guys now if you do all your shopping at discount
[567]
stores it's gonna be very hard to find a card better the TJX rewards Platinum
[572]
Master Card offered through synchrony Bank now that card is an annual zero
[576]
dollar annual fee there is a sign-up bonus of 10% off your first purchase at
[581]
a TJX stores not less than 10% you'll also receive an unlimited five
[585]
percent back which is equal to five points per dollar spent at any stores
[589]
within the TJX family TJ Maxx Marshalls home goods Sierra Trading Post and home
[594]
since now like the gap cart I love the fact that it includes several stores
[597]
under their umbrella giving you a wider range of products to earn money back
[601]
it's an open loop card so you can receive one point per dollar spent on
[605]
any other purchases where MasterCard is accepted and another thing I like about
[610]
these points is they're unlimited and never expire at TJX after accumulating a
[614]
thousand points you'll receive $10 rewards certificate that you can use at
[618]
any of their stores in their network in terms of the dudas this card ranks very
[621]
high in terms of the variable APR with an ongoing interest rate at the time of
[626]
this filming of 28.9% so this card can get you into some
[630]
serious trouble if you're not careful with it and you do not want to carry a
[634]
balance with it guys please never do that once again with this card you'll
[638]
need to pay attention to the application process because you may end up with the
[641]
cards you didn't want much like the best buy car that I'll talk about now when
[645]
you apply synchrony determines based on your credit score whether to approve you
[649]
for the TJX rewards platinum MasterCard or if you fail to be a proof for that
[654]
you'll be considered for the TGX rewards credit card which leaves you with less
[658]
versatility since its closed ended and I haven't had any trouble with the card
[662]
but many people online have complained about the lack of crappy customer
[666]
service when needed it so who's this cardigan before
[668]
it's gonna be for frequent shoppers of TJ Maxx and its sister stores like other
[673]
retailer cards it requires someone with financial discipline to avoid the high
[676]
interest if the bad reviews of customer service scare you you would be fine with
[680]
just a great cashback card guys now when it comes to those of us who love
[684]
building and home improvement projects the best card is the Lowe's advantage
[688]
card whether you're constantly renovating your home or working on
[691]
projects this is a great card to have with a zero dollar annual fee and
[695]
unlimited 5% off or its promotional financing which you'll have to check at
[700]
the time you apply but that promotional financing can save you a fortune and
[704]
interest if appropriately managed guys so since it's 5% off all purchases
[708]
there's no waiting for points accumulate you get immediate discounts upfront
[713]
which I love and there's also a promotional sign up bonus going on right
[717]
now time of filming which is $30 off your in-store purchase between $30 and
[721]
599 or $100 off your purchase of $600 or more and it doesn't really have that
[727]
many duties to be honest but it does have a high standard APR of 26 point 99
[732]
percent it's also closed-loop card so you won't be able to use it outside of
[736]
Lowe's unfortunately so who's this card for it's gonna be great for those who
[739]
frequent home-improvement stores whether you're renovating your home buying the
[743]
occasional lumber tools Hardware gardening lawn supplies or mulching your
[747]
yard it's hard to beat five percent instant savings now this card hands-down
[752]
beats the home depot offer don't even go look at that car - this sucks compared
[756]
to this and if you run a small home improvement business they offer cards
[760]
better suited to businesses so don't go for this card if you're using for that
[763]
purpose the Amazon card is very strong but when it comes to buying electronics
[767]
you might be better off with the Best Buy Visa credit card issued by Citibank
[771]
now this card is gonna offer 5% back on purchases from Best Buy up to 6% if
[777]
you're an elite Plus member you get 2% back on dining and groceries and 1% back
[781]
on everything else and they also do have rotating limited time offer so you have
[785]
to keep an eye on those at the time of filming you can get 3% back on air and
[790]
ground transportation as well as on gas so rewards are relatively simple for
[795]
every 250 points you get a 5 dollar reward so if you spend $500 you
[800]
get a $25 reward certificate the other thing I like about Best Buy is they
[804]
price match most products so if you do find something from Amazon or another
[808]
retailer you could price match and get the 5% back right there at Best Buy and
[813]
pick up the product that day so there is a sign-up bonus of 10% back on your
[817]
first purchase so you want to make sure the first purchase counts let's get to
[821]
the doodoo of the car depending on your creditworthiness the variable APR can be
[824]
extremely high it's anywhere from twelve point nine percent to thirty point
[828]
twenty four percent as I mentioned the bonus or rotating categories like gas
[832]
and transportation can change creating some unpredictability that I don't like
[836]
and in my honest opinion the rewards rates could be better on this card I'm
[840]
also not a fan of how the application process works and it can be a little
[844]
tricky so you need to pay attention when applying for this card when you apply
[848]
for a my Best Buy Visa card you're actually applying for a my best buy visa
[853]
platinum account if you don't qualify for this account Citibank may consider
[857]
you for several other cards using that same application and they might try to
[862]
qualify you for my Best Buy credit card preferred account which is a closed-loop
[867]
credit card meaning you can only use it at Best Buy and you could also be
[871]
considered for a my best by credit card account this account has the same terms
[875]
as the my best buy credit card preferred and lastly you could be considered for a
[880]
my Best Buy Visa Gold account it's a Visa account so it would be an
[884]
open-end card but a big warning is that that card comes with a fifty to nine
[888]
dollar annual fee which I am NOT a fan of so the application process can be
[892]
super frustrating and tricky if you're not approved with a my best buy visa
[896]
platinum account you could end up with the less effective card like the my best
[899]
buy credit card or the my best buy visa Gold account that comes with a high
[903]
annual fee and no additional benefits if this does happen to you you can always
[908]
call and close the account as soon as you're notified to avoid paying any
[911]
annual fees be aware they'll closing a credit card could negatively impact your
[915]
credit so only apply for this card if you have a good credit score so who's
[919]
this card gonna be for it's gonna be a card for the Best Buy loyalists and
[922]
super spenders if you're the type to spend thousands on electronics each year
[926]
this will fit right in and I would stay away from this card if you have a low
[930]
credit card score and if you only spend a few hundred dollars at that
[934]
