Credit Fundamentals
➢ “What is credit?”
○ Credit is an agreement with an individual and the bank to borrow money
for a certain period under certain conditions. Both the positive and
negative outcome of that agreement is reflected on your credit report.
○ If you haven't realized this already, Credit is the most critical piece of
knowledge you DIDN'T learn in school, yet you use it just about every day
when using your credit card, getting a car loan, and even getting a
mortgage. Credit is something you NEED to know- knowing credit puts
you and your business in a much better financial position.
➢ “What is considered a ‘strong’ credit profile?”
○ A strong credit profile has a 720+ credit score, 0 to very minimal hard
inquiries, 2+ years of credit age, no derogatory marks, and has 2 - 3
primary accounts reporting.
○ Checking your credit report for free can be done on
www.annualcreditreport.com once or www.identityIQ.com for a fee, which
will get you the report and FICO. Otherwise, you can use Credit Karma &
Experian to monitor your credit for free.
Credit Repair
Before you’re able to do ANYTHING with your credit, the first step is to
build a solid foundation (multiple credit cards, lots of positive payments
reported, a 720+ score, and never have high utilization). Along with this,
you should be building relationships with multiple banks by opening a
simple checking account and showing some activity. I recommend starting
with top banks like Chase, Citi, Wells Fargo, etc.
➢ “Which credit card do you recommend starting with?”
○ DiscoverIT Student or Chase Freedom are great starter cards. However, if
you don't get approval, then go for a “secured” Capital One credit card,
which will be a guaranteed approval with a small deposit.
➢ “Anything I can do to better my credit from the start?”
○ Get added as an authorized user to someone's good-standing account
and adopt their account’s credit history.
○ Add a primary tradeline like MyJewlersClub as one example.
○ Use every one of your cards monthly to maximize reported positive
payments.
Travel Hacking in the basic term is leveraging credit card rewards and
points. To maximize being able to get free flights, hotels, car rentals, and
upgrades on all of the above anytime you travel, you must get very familiar
with the following:
➢ Establishing your credit correctly (allowing you to get the best cards, lots of them,
and maximize the bonuses at the same time)
➢ Credit card sequencing - understanding how and when to apply for credit cards
to obtain 6-10 cards in one application with maximum bonuses and rewards
➢ You should also know that there are methods to travel hack that don’t require
credit at ALL, and even with bad credit, you’re still able to implement these
hacks. HOWEVER, when you have both excellent credit and the knowledge on
travel-hacking without using any credit, that’s when you can get the $15,000
flights for only a few hundred dollars or stay at the Ritz Carlton for next to nothing
instead of paying $1400 for a suite.
➢ “How do points work? How do I make the most of them?”
○ Points are either received from sign-up bonuses or simple spending (this
is why when we apply for cards, we ideally go for 6-8 in one time).
○ “Manufactured Spending” is a method to get points without having to
spend a single dollar (the basic methods like gift cards are risky and not
worth the effort) - this is where you need to start learning the advanced
teachings.
○ Points + having airline, hotel, car rental status is the best way to
maximize points where you use less and get more (meaning free
upgrades).
