In yet another edition of Credit Card Madness I will once again compare two no fee annual credit cards. This time I am focusing on two cards from Citi Bank. Similar to the previous editions of Credit Card Madness, one of these cards is an entry-level points earning credit card and the other is a cash…
Following yesterday’s Chase Freedom comparison, today I’ll compare two no annual fee options from American Express. In this edition of Credit Card Madness it’s the American Express Everyday vs. the American Express Blue Cash Everyday. As the names imply, these cards are intended to be used on everyday purchases. In years prior, consumers generally only used credit cards for larger purchases and stuck…
In another edition of credit card madness I want to compare two more no annual fee credit cards. As I mentioned previously, I don’t have a formal ranking system to rank cards. I think eliminating similar cards from the same issuer is the best way to start this competition. This time I’ll compare the Chase Freedom…
Kicking off Credit Card madness let’s start by reviewing two cards from Bank of America. Today, the BankAmericard Travel Rewards card faces off against the BankAmericard Cash Rewards card. Both cards share several benefits and come without an annual fee. However, one is a pure cash back card while the other offers a unique travel rewards program. We’ll…

One of the most common questions I receive is “what credit card should I open?” For the past few months the answer was simple; “The Chase Sapphire Reserve” I would say. At the time, the card came with a 100,000 point sign up bonus which was worth a minimum of $1,500 in travel. Sure the card came with…
For whatever reason the United States has been behind the rest of the world when it comes to credit card transactions. For many years now other countries have used a Chip and Pin system when processing credit card transactions. The United States however has stuck to the traditional swipe method. Recently, the US has switched…
One of my favorite frequent traveler perks is TSA PreCheck. Sure shorter lines are nice, but leaving my laptop in my bag is the best part. It is nice to simply put my luggage on the belt and pick it up on the other side. Getting TSA PreCheck is definitely worth the $85 fee for 5…
I have written extensively about the Chase Sapphire Reserve on this site mostly due to the fact that it really is my favorite card in my wallet today.
