Why I Downgraded From the Amex Gold Card to Amex Green Card
by Kyle Burbank
This week, I did something I'd never actually done before: I canceled a credit card. Well, technically, I did a product change — but that's close enough. That's right, I made good on my threat to ditch the Amex Gold Card after the recent update and, instead, will now be an Amex Green Card customer for the first time. So, why did I decide to make this change, what was the...

Capital One Savor Rewards [SavorOne Rewards] Credit Card Review
by Kyle Burbank
When I looked through my wallet and the credit cards I use most often, I realized a couple of years ago that I had neglected to formally review one of my favorites: the Capital One Savor Rewards card. Sure, I've mentioned it in plenty of previous posts (including my annual "personal credit card strategy" articles), but I've failed to give it its due in terms of a full-fledged guide of...

American Express Platinum Card: Assessing Its Value After 5 Years

During the following months, I continually looked at the American Express Gold card as a potential companion to my newly-acquired card, but eventually disabused myself of that idea because I wasn't sure that I'd be able to make full use of its perks. Eventually, an enhanced welcome bonus...

Is the Bilt Mastercard Worth It for Non-Renters? The Pros and Cons
by Kyle Burbank
When I first heard about the Bilt Mastercard, I was both intrigued and excited. That's because the card's signature feature is the ability to pay rent with the card and earn 1 point per dollar (while also avoiding any fees). Seeing as we lived in an apartment at the time, I decided to apply for the card and was thrilled to find that the platform only got better with time....

PNC Cash Rewards Visa Credit Card Review
by Kyle Burbank
For more than a decade, my wife has been a loyal PNC customer. This includes holding one of their rewards credit cards — which, at one time, was our only credit card. Well, over the years, that's changed a lot as our card mix has evolved. And, now, another change has come as the bank recently moved us over to the PNC Cash Rewards Visa card. So, what does the...

2023 Bilt Rewards Mastercard Review
by Kyle Burbank
A few months back, I was introduced to the Bilt Rewards Mastercard when it was announced that Wells Fargo would be issuing the card. What interested me in the product was that, at long last, it would reward cardholders on one of their largest monthly expenses: rent. Looking more closely at the card, I found that I had a lot of questions — and ones that I likely couldn't answer unless...
