“As a small business owner, she has a number of expenses she wants to keep separate on different credit cards. From random gym equipment to lots of food to stock her gym.”
“She is currently paying about $534 in annual fees for all her cards. So I think there might be a case to dump some of these because that is a lot of money to pay for annual fees.”
“So, so people who are wondering what these cards are, the Costco card gets 5% on gas at Costco, which does not apply to you because you're just hacking other people's expenses. But it's okay. Yeah. So yeah, so you so you have the City Strada, the Chase Freedom Unlimited and the Costco card. Are you using those on a regular basis?”
