I have a confession to make, I rarely check my monthly credit card statement details. Instead I generally check my credit card mobile apps a few times a week to track my spending. I use credit cards in place of debit cards. This leads to a ton of smaller charges in any given month. Some…
As we continue with round one of Credit Card Madness it is time to start comparing low annual fee credit cards. This next set of card comparisons all have annual fees under $100/year. I am continuing to review cards by issuer as it should lead to a fairly interesting round 2 of competition. For the…

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…
It’s hard to believe March is here. March is on of my favorite times of the year. Sure the weather is starting to warm up, but the real reason I love March is college basketball. To be honest, I don’t care about NCAA basketball the other 11 months out of the year, but March madness is…
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.
