American Express Platinum Card: Assessing Its Value After 5 Years

by Kyle Burbank
It's that time of year again. No, I'm not talking about Halloween — although it is nearly as scary. October is when I have to pay the piper and pony up the $695 annual fee that comes with the American Express Platinum Card. This is always a sobering moment as, during the rest of the year, I get to enjoy all sorts of perks and credits that I conveniently begin...

American Express Gold Card Review

by Kyle Burbank
In September of 2019, I leaped into the world of premium rewards cards when I applied for the American Express Platinum card. 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...

American Express Green Card Credit Card Overview

by Kyle Burbank
In the past, I've talked a lot about American Express cards such as the Platinum and Gold cards. However, there's a third option in this line-up that isn't as discussed these days: The American Express Green Card. Ironically, once you see the card, you may realize that it's actually what you envision when you think about what an iconic Amex looks like. What's more, the Green card has plenty of...

Curve Review: Can it Merge All of Your Credit Cards into One?

by Kyle Burbank
UPDATE: Curve has now been discontinued in the United States. Below is my initial review. Credit card rewards are great, but working to maximize those rewards can be daunting at times. Not only might your quest require you to carry around multiple cards wherever you go but you'll also need to remember to use the "right" card for any given transaction. Given this reality, wouldn't it be nice if you...

Does the Apple Card Belong In Your Wallet? (2023 Review)

by Kyle Burbank
In 2019, Apple announced what many had suspected: it was releasing its own credit card. While Goldman Sachs would be the ones actually issuing the product, the card would combine the user-friendly tech and stylish aesthetic that the company’s many raving fans have grown accustomed to. Then the Apple Card arrived — and so, naturally, I had to get one for myself. I’ll admit that my interest in Apple Card...

Money at 30: M1 Finance Owner's Rewards Credit Card Overview

by Kyle Burbank
For a time, it seemed as though every FinTech was rolling out its own debit card — including some that broke the mold with some interesting features. Since then, some neobanks have moved on to creating unique credit card products instead. Among them is M1 Finance, which originally launched its Owner's Rewards Card in 2021. Since then, the card has undergone some tweaks, but the idea remains largely the same:...

2025 SoFi Checking and Savings Review

by Kyle Burbank
 Ever since I started taking an interest in the FinTech sector, one company whose name I’ve seen pop up over and over again is SoFi. That was later sent into overdrive as the company has not only become a household name thanks to its stadium naming rights deal but also because of the company’s continued product expansions. The most interesting development in my mind is SoFi’s acquisition of Golden Pacific...
