If you’ve been following along on this journey with me, learning
5 Super-Charged secrets to Credit Card Utopia, then you now know 2 very important things:
a)You now know how to take advantage of zero to low interest credit card offers.
b)You now know that there is safety in numbers, and you know
magic “Who’s Who” of
major credit card companies. You know that one of them, in my opinion, stands out for consumers.
With me? Good. These are both essential foundations that you need to follow in order to live in Credit-Card Utopia.
Now, let me flavor it up for you.
What could be better than zero interest credit cards? What could be better than having
best, lowest, guaranteed credit card in your wallet?
1)How about cash? Would that work for you?
How about a big fat check at
end of
year, in
thousands and thousands and thousands of dollars?
Would you like to get PAID thousands of dollars each year, just for spending money that you ALREADY SPEND?
You might realize that I’m not talking DIRECTLY about interest rates. But listen, I can’t get much lower then zero interest. I need you to think creatively with me now.
2)Rewards Cards, otherwise known as incentive-based credit cards. Let’s start there. These are no secret. Many of us have rewards cards. I have several, in fact, and I get many rewards for spending with them. I get airline miles, and I get gas vouchers, and I get discounts at online stores…AND…I get Cash.
But let me talk about a HUGE secret that most people are not yet fully exploiting for their personal and financial gain.
3)My family and I are just now getting into making money with Cash-Back offers:
Cash rebates, Cash-Back cards, those are
ones I want to focus on with you here, for a second.
How do these cash-back cards lower your interest rate? Well, at this stage, it’s a semantics game, but if you have 9% interest for example, and you use a cash-back credit card that pays you 3% on all transactions…Well, that’s like getting a 3% discount on
rate, so your charge is more along
lines of 6%. It’s not EXACTLY like that, but you get
point.
More importantly, let’s dig deeper.
4)I’m going to tell you how to TURBO-CHARGE this mechanism, and EXPLOIT IT FOR EVERYTHING it’s WORTH.
You see, your credit card company wants you to spend as much money as possible with their plastic.
Yes, they’d like to charge you interest on debt. But even if you pay it off every month, did you know that they still make a profit on
transaction from
Merchant fees?
Yes,
credit card charges
merchant a fee for swiping your card. It can range anywhere from 1% to as high as 6%...
It does not impact you
consumer (directly), but it does give you some insight into why you can become business partners with your credit card company.
5)Secret # 3 revealed: Here’s what my family and I are doing:
We use our cash-back credit card for EVERYTHING.
We simply have restructured our spending so that all expenses, or almost all expenses, go through our cash-back credit card.
Grocery stores, restaurants, shopping, dining, gas…Everything. In fact, as of
writing of this article, American Express® has developed a Bill-Pay type system so we are able to actually pay some of our bills using our cash-back credit card.
Can you imagine? A credit card company developing online bill-pay. Now, how SMART is that?
