    Take the credit line increases. I've worked in finance for 13 years and the amount of available credit helps your credit score.

      Derek Jackson Absolutely correct ... credit utilization (amount owed or balance / available credit) makes up roughly 30-35% of your score.

      But how often do they apply those increases?

    I had the Delta Platinum Amex. When the Annual fee went from $150 to $195. I cancelled one month before my anniversary to avoid $195. Then I got the Chase Sapphire Preferred. I'm also in Atlanta. So with Southwest being one of many transfer partners. You can go on Southwest to a lot of the US major cities from Atlanta(Hub city) for less miles than Delta.

      Is there a transfer fee when transferring from Chase to Delta?

    I too live in ATL(@Perimeter) and I thought about getting a Delta card but I'm with Chase for now. I have the Reserve. My very first travel card was the Venture. Now I just use the Chase cards and I also have an Amex PRG card for diversity as well. THINKING about getting the Platinum card next year for the perks. So, we'll see! LOL Nice video though. I MAY get a Delta card but like you said, it just takes SOOOO long to build up miles with them! Honestly, you may be better off switching to the 3 card system with Chase and really racking up points quickly off everyday purchases. And you can still transfer those points to Skyteam or just use the Chase portal (like Orbitz) to book ANY flight using points! For example, I recently used points & booked a FREE flight to JAPAN via DELTA thru Chase and STILL earned Skymiles! That's a win-win!

    I just applied for this card and got a 10k limit! They were running special promo for 50k miles after $1000 spend too. Can't wait to travel!

    Such a great video! I love delta. I can’t wait to travel more once the country opens up. I highly recommend watching this movie called up in the air with George Clooney. It’s awesome.

    @dannyrod1980 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Thank you for the detailed explanation, and including Venture card. I travel maybe twice annually with Delta, so I am guessing gold will suffice, although silver is doable with both needing $1000 for achieving bonus miles. Venture card seem harmless to pursue with no annual fees.

    Hi Kimmy👋🏾
    Some videos ideas that I would love to see you film include trips you take literally anywhere, I find those videos really interesting. Also how you budgeted all your expenses from college to now, I'm coming up to that point in my life and would love some tips! Any tips or advice you have really about anything! I think you give great advice especially in this video, so I would like to see that!💖

      Hi Aria! I usually do vlog most of my trips so I will continue to do some short mini vlogs here and there of any interesting trips. I may come up with a budgeting travel video. I appreciate the suggestions. Thanks for watching

    I’m confused! Why are they called “miles” if it takes 25,000 for a domestic flight???? Lol

    • @NikkyElso
      @NikkyElso 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Think of them more as a currency. Usually they are worth 1 cent a piece but they can sometimes go further if you spend them right.

    Great entry level video, but show us how to use the card when your ready to fly somewhere. I too have a Delta AMX card with 162K miles on it, but can never find a flight over seas. I search Delta's website but always I get a sorry does not apply.

  • @falcoperegrinus2292
    @falcoperegrinus2292 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Venture One card is so wack. 1.25% cash back is such a low rate. Better off getting the Capital One Venture (NOT Venture ONE, but just Venture). Get 2% back and annual fee waived first year. I would apply for that one first then downgrade to Venture One to avoid annual fee. Also, you should look into Chase cards. Chase Sapphire Preferred (or Reserve even more), plus Chase Freedom and Freedom Unlimited will BLOW YOU AWAY if you think this current line up is good!

  • @JustGladys68
    @JustGladys68 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    You should correct the "Captial One Venture Card" there's 2 types. There's one that you have, Capital one Venture one, that has no annual fee and 1.5 miles per $. The capital one Venture, the one I had is 2 miles per $ and I believe is $95 an aural fee.

    Thanks for this video! Easy for you to have them as a favorite since you're based in Atlanta.
    I ended up getting both the personal and the business on the gold card. I didn't like the Platinium as the annual fee is huge and I don't use Delta enough to justify it.
    Like you mentioned it's difficult to know how much each point is worth as it really depends with the awards. I originally thought the points were valued pretty low but then found some great fares on Upgraded Points. There was a good run down of the program as well. I've still got quite a few points, now it's just a matter of finding a good flight to book.

    I 'm confused. 30,000 flyer miles means you travel to let's say to California from Atlanta for free? since it doesn't take 30,000 miles to get to California. How much would your flight be if you had 30,000 flyer miles? I'm talking dollars?

    Are the ventures miles worth more then regular money back? Asking cuz it sounds like a quick silver card just miles instead of cash.

      I tried to get hired with Delta before, they don't want me but I still love them. I've always had bad service with American and United. They're mean!!

      @@Kimmyonaquest11 I have been travelling every week for past 3 years - mostly on Spirit and American. Believe it or not, service on Spirit has been pretty decent. And, I can honestly say that American's service has consistently been one or two notches less impressive than Spirit.

    I just received another offer from delta:70,000 miles/spend $2000 1st 3 mos.
    I received this offer twice through my email. I’m a truck driver and my plans are to use this card to buy diesel fuel($1000-$1200 per week) and truck maintenance. I will pay it off every week after using it to use it the following week. So basically I spend $52,000-$60,000 per year. Do you think 🤔 this would be a good idea??

    • @lohengrinknight
      @lohengrinknight 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      What did you do in the end? The Amex blue gives a better return on gas purchases than any of the delta cards. You can use the points from the blue card to buy plane tickets at a better miles rate than delta cards offer. In reality, the delta cards aren't really a good deal after you've used the welcome bonus.

    Why would you have both Gold and Platinum card at the same time? I don't see the point since they both have annual fees. Do you represent Amex or Delta?
