What to do with "Bad" Credit Cards

And the 5% bonus on groceries is back

I’ve shared about what cards not to get, but what if you already have them? Do you keep? Cancel? Forget about it? I'll share some general guidelines in today’s blog post, but if you want a full in-depth analysis, book a time here or email me at [email protected] 

My first ever credit card was a Cabela’s store credit card. Not the smartest move, and even worse, I cancelled it, losing a year out of my credit history. In the long-term though, it’s fine. Read more in the blog post to see how you can do this better.

It’s back…

If you missed it the last few times I promoted this card, don’t fear, the Freedom Flex has 5% on groceries for the first year again. Unfortunately, I don’t have a referral with this bonus, but don’t let it stop you from getting this decent promo.

Credit Card Tier List Summary

  1. Prime Visa and Amazon Visa - Harmful | It’s a trap, you can get 4-6x back on Amazon through gift cards and get valuable points instead of cash back

  2. Delta Gold - Intro | With a $0 annual fee for the first year, it helps check out some of the perks of the other cards. However, Delta Skymiles are nicknamed “Sky Pesos” for a reason, so the points are not that useful
