Growing up my parents always told us to stay away from credit cards because it was bad for you, but never explained why. When i turned 21 i got my own credit card. Still parents kept saying it was bad. I was able to learn more about credit cards and used it tto my benefit. My parents till this day still believe credit cards are bad. Me on the other hand 10 years later im credit card churning and looking for the next best card to get.
@@yakubpk3483I got one a bit ago and I only got free money out of it and started building my credit score early, just don’t spend what you don’t have and you’ll be good
@@yakubpk3483just makes it so you can finance things. In all reality you don’t absolutely need a credit card but it’s an easy way to build your credit score cause you will eventually need a loan for things such as a house
@@yakubpk3483It should if you use credit correctly. It’ll open you up to a higher credit limit and eventually lower interest rates on loans (including a mortgage).
Brian, I appreciate you man. I've commented before on your videos as well, but after discovering your videos about 8-ish? months ago, I started my journey of credit card churning and was able to rack up a rather significant amount of money as a result. As a 19 year old in college, I was finding some ways that I could earn money, and utilizing credit cards was one of the bigger parts of my success. Thanks to you, I've been able to gather around $10k in credit card bonuses while still maintaining a mid 700 credit score, no late payments, and a 2% utilization rate. My dream car is the Huracan, and I'm on track to getting it in about 5ish years. Hopefully I can come back in 5 years and proudly say that I obtained that goal. Much love, Daniel
If you’re just starting out like 18 or early 20s i don’t recommend a secured card. Discover or Capital One will likely give you a normal card, plus they have pre-approval tools so there’s no risk. Also if you’ve had a long relationship with a bank they may give you a credit card pretty easily too.
No they don’t. This system works because there will always be people who mismanage credit cards the average consumer is not this educated if that were the case, banks would go out of business.
NOTE: if you are placed under your parent as an authorized user, everything THEY do under their account will affect YOUR credit!! So if they default on a personal payment, it will show up on your account even though you did do that.
i got denied from 3 secured credit cards but i got approved for the discover it secured card and it should be here this week been watching you and john liang
thank you for these videos Brian! you have no idea how helpful these are and I hope you realize how much of an impact you make on lives of so many stressed people. wish you and your dog well on your journey :)
How does this change for people who just joined the military? There are so many unique considerations and there’s not much good information out there unless you do it yourself. For example you always assume that amex platinum has a very high annual fee but for military members there is no fee, not to mention that there are a bunch of credit cards from navy federal credit union, penfed, and USAA that are only available to military members.
No point in really adding military cards here if the average person isn't in the military. Better to search for a video specially tailored towards those in military.
@@dms2331more like the average male. Which applies in south Korea and North Korea for “average” males. Whom serve in the military like what? 80% or something yup
Yeah I wouldn’t recommend you getting a credit card till you have a job or more money. Since you just going to want to buy things and be like hey I have a credit card and start spending on it.
How long should i wait before applying for a second card if i was just approved for my first card today? I’m not sure if it would be better to have two cards immediately to build credit or wait a while
19 Years Old. 7 Personal Cards, 2 Business Cards. Discover Student Cash Back, Apple, Chase Freedom Flex, Bank Of America Customized Cash, Amazon, Amex Gold, Capital One Savor. Chase Preferred and Amex Blue Business Plus. 300,000 Chase Points, 100,000 Amex Points. and $1250+ in cash back combined.
I wouldnt close any unless there was an annual fee. And in those cases you can downgrade the card. The ideal is that you keep them open to gain Longevity, availble credit. Closing the card decreases your credit score as well. Just use it sparingly once a month and it will be fine.
So…. You recommend I don’t close my no annual fee credit card… so should I just not use it anymore and apply for another card and use that card instead?
Brian not sure you’ll see this but I’ve had the flex car from chase for about 3/4 months now. My score is 710 at 19. Should I apply for the unlimited freedom next? I’d like to hear your thoughts.
@huntertara6968 You can get a Discover student card. If you aren't a student, you can get a secured card from Discover. Either one is a great starter card.
@@huntertara6968it’s great. They have basic rotating categories offering 5% cashback but for the first year, they double and you can claim 10% if you redeem it after one year of getting the card
Chase has the Freedom Rise for those without a year of credit history. All you need is at least $250 or more in a chase checking account and you are likely to be approved.
Hi, love your videos, but as a european I cannot apply for any of the cards you mention.. Could you make a video on how to start your credit card journey as a European?
What if I never eat out, don't care about traveling, have 800 credit score, 3k in cash, and am only 15 yrs old. What is the best card to get then? I have very low impulses to buy random stuff.
Do you need business credit for amex if you recently just got the gold card im looking to get the amex business plus in the coming months got a good credit score
No, I would not recommend a 13 y/o to have a credit card of any kind as they cannot sign a legally binding contract. You can let them become an authorized user on of your cards, but that is risky. There are options such as child accounts, prepaid cards and green light. Once they turn 18, then they can sign up for a secured or even student card.

Do you have a well paying job to get all these points?

Ever have a dad?

Capital One's a bit stingy
How about a credit union secured card
@jonhoffman10000 I'm 24 but got my first card in may, got the Savor One in July and the Venture X last week
So what do i get then?
@@TheZombaslayayup capitol one denied be but I got the discover it for my first credit card
It’s really nice to have someone who explains life worthy stuff
Yes wish I was freaking told this in middle school!!
Bro is the most hated person by banks fr😂
They started it
No they don’t. This system works because there will always be people who mismanage credit cards the average consumer is not this educated if that were the case, banks would go out of business.
So important to get a good foundation of knowledge while you’re young to build up credit as early as possible!
YES KING 🤴 👑 WILL DO!! indeed obviously most important when you’re young! Because we will remember for the rest of our lives to gain money amen!
stay strong king
Got my first discover student card last month. Hoping that this will be the beginning of a long and successful journey.
Bro i got a credit card ad right when i clicked on the video💀
Same it’s kinda scary
I did too🤣
That's how ads work
I’m 25 and still don’t have one 😭 now I’m finally moving out and need credit history. Definitely need a good start here
Just got recommended this. Perfect timing too, because I am actually looking into starting with credit cards at the moment!
how is it going so far?
im 20 just activated my credit card. been told to never have one. ( i am scared but hella open minded to this)so thank you for this video.
NOTE: if you are placed under your parent as an authorized user, everything THEY do under their account will affect YOUR credit!! So if they default on a personal payment, it will show up on your account even though you did do that.

I'm about to turn 16, no job, not a lot of money, what does ANY of this mean bro 😭😭😭
Same brooo
Idk just do the authorised user thingy
If you have no job or money don’t even bother thinking about credit cards until you have a stable income and at least a few thousand to your name.
Yeah I wouldn’t recommend you getting a credit card till you have a job or more money. Since you just going to want to buy things and be like hey I have a credit card and start spending on it.
Get a job before you get a credit card blud 💀
It’s so funny my parents were the complete opposite the always told be to open up a credit card and finally at 19 I did after their years of begging
Real video starts at 4:50
I personally don’t think I need14/15 credit cards as a beginner. I really just need to find a way to grow/build my credit
If you become an authorized user on ya parents card it helps boost your own score if they are 700+
Not expecting an answer but where’s that brown jacket from? Been trying to up my style as well and that jacket is too clean

How
How much debt tho

You should wright a book about fixing credit
Do you recommend closing credit cards after you use the sign rewards and no longer need the card?
Never close a card unless absolutely necessary
I wouldnt close any unless there was an annual fee. And in those cases you can downgrade the card. The ideal is that you keep them open to gain Longevity, availble credit. Closing the card decreases your credit score as well. Just use it sparingly once a month and it will be fine.
Works in every bank sistem even in other countries
Thanks. Video was helpful
780 at 18🥳‼️
3:30 it’s actually not lol. I had my debit get skimmed and someone cleaned my checking account - bank reversed charges and the overdraft fee obviously
Jesus loves you guys so much. God is with yall through all of your problems
Brian do you ever cancel any of your credit card? If so how many card did you cancel?

Yes ! (I made that mistake already)
@@deeurb916 I see
Don’t forget about the secret route where if you join the army you get the annual fee waived for amex cards
What about discover student cards it that one a good choice
Yes, a great starter card.

Thanks for the knowledge. I’ll be going places in a few years.
Literally got an ad for the Amex gold
Amazing video. Thank you so much for your knowledge and experience.

Is it possible to aquire these cards even if I live outside of America?
Got declined for a secured card because im not a college student…ridiculous
Agreed
Thanks man
Thank you ❤
Youre amazing brian your parents raised an amazing person ❤
Hi, love your videos, but as a european I cannot apply for any of the cards you mention.. Could you make a video on how to start your credit card journey as a European?
Well, you pretty much can't. There's a cap on credit card fees in the EU, and as such the benefits on credit cards here are pretty much non-existent.
@@carsandtools Fantastic to hear that as a European teenager. It looks like my life won't be easy here. At least there are no school shootings...
@@Bartekwis Bruh...
sure it was the card and not the 1.46 MILLION subs channel, of course.
What if the credit card we already have had for about a year does have a fee? Should I close out the card and get a card without fees?
Crazyyyyy thumbnail bro
Can you do this online or do you have to go to the bank ? How did u ?
You should go to the bank in person and ask to see a card provider and ask them all your questions. Hope this reply wasn't too late
what would be an optimal strategy for someone who started with a quicksilver?
You can still follow my optimal sequence I mentioned in this video even with a quicksilver
Yessirr, thanks mannn !!
I got my first credit card is the capital one silver one
If I don’t use the credit card for a few months, will the issuer close the card???
Usually if you use the card atleast once a year you’re safe but maybe use it once every few months
Please wait at least a year before applying for sapphire
What if I never eat out, don't care about traveling, have 800 credit score, 3k in cash, and am only 15 yrs old. What is the best card to get then? I have very low impulses to buy random stuff.
Don’t get a credit card till your 18, just make sure ur on ur parents authorized users list
