The new credit card I am getting (and why) - YouTube

Channel: SeedTime Money

[3]
all right so I've been getting some questions about the credit card that I
[6]
used since I created that video about how we travel for free using the credit
[9]
card points and over the last five years I feel like we've developed a pretty
[13]
good system that helps us to get a whole bunch of points without having to do
[17]
much work we don't have to open tons and tons of credit cards and do all the
[20]
bonuses to get points although you can do that and really get more points but
[25]
we just haven't done much of that the last five years and we've really found
[28]
the two cards that worked best for us and I'm just kind of stuck with them I
[32]
haven't really done much else but there's a new credit card offer out now
[34]
that I'm really excited about and I'm going to be applying for and so I just
[37]
want to let you know about this as well just in case you are kind of tracking
[40]
along with me and all this so now I'm just gonna assume that you watch the
[44]
other video I'll have a link to it up above so if you haven't done that check
[47]
that out first because some of us might not make sense to you if you haven't
[50]
seen that but this Chase Sapphire Preferred has been our go-to card this
[53]
has been the main one they've been using that has been generating most of the
[56]
points for us so we've been traveling with and it's a fantastic card it's a
[60]
really really good card it wins all kinds of awards and it's just really
[64]
great all the perks that it has and everything else like that you know with
[66]
the Chase Sapphire Preferred we get one point for every dollar that we spend and
[70]
so that's pretty good and that helps us out and got a good amount of points but
[74]
this new offer on the Chase Freedom Unlimited which is a different Chase
[78]
card it's three points for every dollar so they advertise this as a cashback
[82]
card rather than a travel card in which you can do that with either one you can
[86]
get cash back on either one or you could use the points or travel on either one
[89]
but what I'm excited about is this 3% so this means we're going to get three
[93]
points for every dollar that we spend instead of one so we're basically
[96]
tripling our earning power and this is just for the first year up to 20,000
[101]
dollars spent but that's a lot of points that we're gonna be able do a lot with
[106]
and I'm really excited about that and then even after that first year is done
[109]
you're still getting 1.5 points which is a little bit better than the Sapphire
[113]
which is one point now the Sapphire has some other perks with it that make it a
[116]
little bit better of a travel card but this one the Freedom Unlimited has no
[121]
annual fee which is nice most Chase cards have like a ninety five dollar
[124]
annual fee and this one doesn't have any which is great and it also has a 0%
[128]
intro rate as well so you can get 0% for a while
[133]
that's something you are looking to do but bottom line with this car this is an
[137]
offer that you do not see very often we didn't get three three times points for
[141]
every dollar spent that's just a really really good deal so I'm gonna be jumping
[145]
on it and taking advantage of it and and I've also gotten a good amount of
[148]
questions about the business card that we use and I'll go ahead and tell you
[151]
just a little bit about that as well just in case you have a business and the
[154]
card that we use is the Ink Business Preferred credit card and again this was
[158]
one where you can earn three points for every dollar spent on online advertising
[163]
so if in your business you're doing any online advertising so Google ads Amazon
[167]
ad Facebook Ads whatever any of that all that's gonna qualify for three points
[172]
for every dollar spent and again you're tripling your point generation speed
[177]
which you know that if you haven't done this before that might not mean much to
[182]
you but point is is that you can get three hotel nights for the price of one
[186]
you can think of it that way and this is a card that was recommended to me by a
[189]
friend a couple years ago and I immediately opened it and I'm really
[193]
glad that I have because we've earned a whole bunch of points just by having
[195]
this card to open because we don't do tons and tons of advertising but we do
[200]
enough that having this triple kind of point thing makes a big difference for
[204]
us we'll have links to both of these cards down below in the description
[207]
below and if you use those links it helps support our channel so appreciate
[210]
that in advance if you decide to get either these cards and just because I
[213]
want to make sure that you are winning and benefiting by getting either one of
[217]
these cards do not do this if you're carrying a balance on your credit cards
[220]
this is not for people who are carrying the balances for people who pay them off
[223]
every single month because again the points it just it doesn't matter you're
[228]
going to lose out on any benefits you would get from the points if you're
[231]
paying interest charges each month so if you're carrying your balance this just
[235]
isn't for you right now wait till you get your cards paid off wait till you
[238]
can regularly pay them off every single month before you do this for the first
[241]
few years our marriage we had to get rid of all of our credit cards because we
[244]
were carrying a balance and it wasn't helping us was hurting our financial
[247]
situation so you need to know yourself and know if this is something that you
[250]
actually can do and use responsibly and if that's the case you can benefit from
[254]
it but if not just skip it and wait till you can alright so if you have any
[259]
questions hit me up in the comments down below I'm happy to answer any that I can
[262]
and have a great day be blessed to be a blessing and I'll see you soon
