Man I'm so glad, you mentioned taking a MC or Visa as a backup card for travel! For instance in Hungary, you won't pay your highway toll with AmEx and, the last time I was in Albert supermarket, I didn't see on the sticker with card issuers at the cashier's station the AmEx logo, suggesting them, as a supermarket, don't take AmEx.
Yeah, I know Amex is working on improving their coverage, but I know I certainly wouldn't feel confident ONLY bringing Amex cards on an international trip... Even in the US... I was just at Mount Washington, and they didn't accept Amex, lol! Thanks for sharing your experience! 😊
awesome thing with Bilt too is you can use the ACH to pay utility bills that don't allow credit card use as well and get points. Also love their attempts to be and look and feel different with their app and perks and games and what not. Plus when you pay rent via ACH it can be paid via a linked bank account therefore not eating up your credit limit and yet still get the points.
@@joshua.butler- Some see credit union card bottom of the barrow cards, but u’ll find some really gr8 cards with them. And I have several. Lol. Especially with really gr8 limits.
Lots of great cards in your setup here Josh! I've been looking more into US Bank recently as my next target so that Cash+ looks pretty enticing - but dang that's a lot of spend on electricity! If you got that spend though, the Cash+ is great card for that. How else will you see the 💩 when it goes flying!
Great setup here Josh! Definitely looking to add the Venture X later this year, and the Free Authorized Users + Lounge Access is honestly super underrated in comparison to the other benefits like the $300 Travel Credit like you mentioned. Really looking to add the Chase Ink Unlimited at the end of the year for the welcome bonus once I'm out of 5/24 and like you will definitely take advantage of transferring to my CSP and then to travel partners. Great video as always!
Appreciate you Matt! I like to mention the free authorized users as it may not be something people realize when comparing these cards. It's definitely a nice perk.
Great run through the wallet and congrats on your growing family! Have you thought about going for the Redstone FCU card? You could ditch the Amex gold, move the Citi CC to grocery duty, and you’d have 5x dining, gas, groceries covered w/ no AF
hahaha I think it may be a New Jersey thing... our cops up here get union cards that they can give to family/friends which you can then give to a cop if you get pulled over... sometimes the cop will go easy on you if you have a card. They're called PBA or FOP cards up here, which are the main police unions.
Hey Terrel! I don't have the card, but I've spoken about it in the past. It's a great option if you're willing to meet their "Tier One Rewards" criteria. Yeah I can definitely add that topic to the list!
Idea: if you wonder whether you’d use a statement credit, observe how much you’d use the spend in question WITHOUT the card. I tend to like Uber Eats and I like going to Cheesecake Factory every so often (usually once or twice a month), so it would make sense for me.
💩 You have a really solid setup Josh! It's honestly very similar to what I see myself running in the long term. The Abound card is one that definitely seems to be an easy set-it-and-forget-it, and if I ever start to value cash back more than travel, that's definitely one I need to have on my list. Great video as always!!
@@joshua.butler Good point! I'm technically only tying that rn with my Custom Cash and since I don't have the Premier yet, that's the max value I'll get from those points! Soon enough I'll add that card in though.
💩 😂😂😂😂😂, congrats bro! I think i may want the Venture X over the Amex Platinum now 😬. Shoutout to Rose Gold bro!!!!! Team rose gold welcomes you! Take that Anthony Venture 😝! Holy crap! You guys spend $10k/yr in groceries? 😮😮 How was the helicopter flight, i saw you in there? Also liked the clip of you working out 😅.
TBH never heard of the Abound card before and despite the barrier to even applying for this card I think it sounds like you make great use of its categories.👶🏼💩
How often do you think most people could take advantage of that price match with the Venture X via Hopper? I didn’t know about that, seems very valuable! Copious amounts of 💩. It’s only the Gold Standard if it’s in Classic Gold btw. Nice Josh!
I don’t believe there’s a limit on how often you can use the price match. It’s a nice feature! I just called my great great grandfather and he said classic gold is mid. I dk what that means though 🤷♀️ Thanks bro 😍
The flight, hotel or rental car has to be an exact match, including refundable status, and it has to be available to the general public without requiring you to log in or have a special membership.
I use Bilt card to pay my rent via check, smh took them 3 weeks to get the check to my landlord. Good thing my landlord didn't charge me late fee since I have been renting over 7 years now.
What's in YOUR wallet? 🤑

Thanks Sledge, hope you’re feeling ok bro!
Happy that u shout credit unions :) Something outside regular banking credit cards. ❤❤❤

Do you mind sharing how your prepay your electric bill? That sounds like a super smart idea
Nice and useful overview 👍
Thanks 😊 glad it was helpful!
Does the abound card work for gas at place like SAMs Club or Costco?? I’m trying to find a card that gives me cash back on gas only
It does! It’s been a great card. Another one to check out is the Redstone Credit Union Visa Signature.
@@joshua.butler Thank you for the information, this helps a lot.
Curious to see what actual wallet you use to store your cards? Great videos btw🎉
I think I have it listed down in the description. Thank you!!! ☺️

Thank you Ryan 😍
I like where your head is at. The Redstone card looks pretty overpowered. Thanks for the heads up!
Wait a minute, what’s the get out of jail free card? Prepaid lawyer card?

Is the Alliant Visa Signature in your wallet as well?
Also Can you do a review on the best Credit Union Cards on the market?
Hey Terrel! I don't have the card, but I've spoken about it in the past. It's a great option if you're willing to meet their "Tier One Rewards" criteria. Yeah I can definitely add that topic to the list!
🎉 congratulations

This is a great way to look at it!
Congrats on the new addition I’m 4 deep and it’s a whole other world! I have the 9x with the gold card too and it’s crazy. Great video

Really appreciate it Spencer! Yeah, it's tough, because I really like travel points/miles myself... but 5% back is hard to beat!

Thank you CJ 😊
That $10k is gonna turn into $14k pretty soon I bet 👀
I'm petitioning my gym to get a helipad so I can get more workouts in.
Chase flex 💪 I'm gonna have in my wallet 🤝
Always gotta flex the flex!!! So much value!
😂😂😂 awesome video
Thank you so much!!

Not close to CJ’s 1 but still getting a comment in
CJ came out of the woodwork to secure today’s win. It’s unlike him!!! 🤪
@@joshua.butlerunlike me? Ha! I’m always first, even when I let others have the illusion of being first
I watched this video for the cat 😂
Perhaps Lenny will make more appearances in the future 😻
@@joshua.butler He's very cute! Looks like a chill cat lol. I like your videos even without Lenny, but had to comment! ☺
TBH never heard of the Abound card before and despite the barrier to even applying for this card I think it sounds like you make great use of its categories.👶🏼💩
Yeah, I'm really happy I found Abound a few years ago. It's so good! Thanks Chase 😋
Good call on prepaying utilities to minimize the fee for using a card. I use the Cash + for utilities as well.
Yessss! It's really such a nice card. 🤑
Oh man congrats on your most important acquisition👶🏻 plus I almost forgot💩
Woot woot! 🥰 Thanks so much
💩Great cards and video! 👍
Thanks so much César!
I honestly thought it was a helicopter or airplane license. That would have been pretty cool haha. Congrats BTW 🎊💩🎊
Hahaha one day JP!!! Thanks bro 😍
How often do you think most people could take advantage of that price match with the Venture X via Hopper?
I didn’t know about that, seems very valuable!
Copious amounts of 💩.
It’s only the Gold Standard if it’s in Classic Gold btw.
Nice Josh!
I don’t believe there’s a limit on how often you can use the price match. It’s a nice feature!
I just called my great great grandfather and he said classic gold is mid. I dk what that means though 🤷♀️
Thanks bro 😍
@@joshua.butler
What kind of places will they match?
I’m assuming not any of the mobile exclusive reservations.
The flight, hotel or rental car has to be an exact match, including refundable status, and it has to be available to the general public without requiring you to log in or have a special membership.

That sounds really frustrating 😑 Was it this past month? Curious if it took so long because it was your first time using the check service... 🤔
Yeah I think it is probably my first time using it. Hope my next one don't take 3 weeks.
