- (00:00) - Everybody loves a one-size-fits-all answer, but today we're discussing which cards are best for which kinds of purchases: grocery, dining, gas, travel, Costco... Sure you can just keep one card in your wallet and earn on that card exclusively, but many of us switch it up depending on what we're purchasing. That's what we'll discuss in today's episode.

I can confirm that the wf autograph bonuses cruise charges from the cruiseline. I use it for my onboard spend
In your Hertz profile, be sure to set your preferences accordingly. Go to your profile summary... under Membership Details... be sure to DECLINE - Prepay the Fuel (Fuel Purchase Option). This way when you rent a vehicle electric or otherwise... you will not automatically be charged the fee. It is important you carefully select what you wish to accept at each car rental transaction.
Amex business gold 4x on gas doesn't work at wholesale club gas stations
Tesla is $26 in charging from Aventura Florida to Anna Maria Island (Sarasota) Florida. At home charging in Florida from FPL is $20 a month.
BTW - the Hertz E car rental return issue- the renter returned it with a charged battery to the same level of charge he rented it with. So they could not even argue on that issue.
Wow
You guys are amazing!!
Altitude Reserve remains one of the best 'everywhere' cards for years & even sometimes outpaces bonus categories on other cards.
Meh. No transfer partners and u have to deal with US Bank (and their deficient tech). Also travel protections on card are a joke.
@@newagain9964 No transfer partners is definately a weakness, but the 3x/4.5% offsetting travel is really nice vs other cards likely only giving 2x or 2% on unbonused spend.
Did you have issues with not being able to use the travel protections following issues?
Wyndham Biz works 8x at 7-11 also
Great podcast as always.
Thank you!!
The US bank business altitude Connect card scores 4X the points on gas ⛽️ up to 150,000 dollars per year with only a 95 dollar 💵 AF
Love it guys👍
Thanks for the info + video!
I am a little bit disappointed that the SYW Mastercard was not mentioned. The SYW card beats everyone out of the water, especially if you get the targeted offers that they send twice a month.
SYW?
@@everardoolvera651 Shop Your Way Mastercard. Issued by Citi Retail Services. It used to be the old Sears card.
I would LOVE to be always spending for a SUB, but me and my P2 are getting declined fro Amex, C1 and don't want to take any chances with Chase! Would love to know how to keep chasing SUB though, because I LOVE POINTS.
At a supercharger, you might get to $35... at home from 0% to 100% it costs me $8.80...
If p2 has the savor one only and p1 has the VX only, can p2 transfer the points to the p1? Or does p2 have to have a point cc like the VX in order to transfer?
no mention of discover for cash back?
Speaking of monitizing: what company should i sign up with to get commission on cards, when i refer people?
I wanna have the kind of money where a spending limit of $2500 a quarter is even a consideration 😅
Can’t use my USBAR mobile wallet at Walmart
Yes, they blocked it. It was possible to use it before. But AT&T AM gives 3x via Walmart Pay (online category).
Correct me if I'm wrong, but one of the us bank cards is getting rid of its annual fee, but nerfing the value of its points, i.e something like 1 cent per point to 0.8 cent per point?
Yeah, the Altitude Connect starting in September. But is still has a 500 bonus and 4 free Priority Pass Memberships so may be good for a quick pick up.
Does Amex tell you when you hit the 25k spend on the gold card or do you just have to wait and see until grocery stores start showing up at one times
Hello Greg and Nick , why are my Business credit card applications showing up on my personal credit hard inquiries? I’m bummed because I don’t want to get 5/24 on my personal credit report- Help ! I need to understand please.
Business card inquiries do show up on your credit report, but new accounts do not (except for some exceptions like some Capital One business cards). 5/24 is only concerned with new accounts, not with inquiries. -Greg
There are so many bloggers out there and you guys only mention View From The Wing, seriously?
Is this something specific to this episode? Because they have mentioned lots of other bloggers on various podcasts.
🤣 gas up a Tesla?!?!
Hello Sir,
Are you looking for a professional TH-cam thumbnail designer?
Hertz is dead to me.
