Prioritize Credit Card Spending Categories or Welcome Bonuses? #70

Learn how to get your annual fees waived on premium credit cards from American Express and Chase in the Ultimate Military Credit Cards Course at militarymoneymanual.com/umc3.

The Platinum Card® from American Express and the American Express® Gold Card waive the annual fee for active duty military servicemembers, including Guard and Reserve on active orders over 30 days. The annual fees on all personal Amex cards are also waived for military spouses married to active duty troops.

In this episode, Jamie and Spencer Reese discuss how much welcome bonuses are worth, how to maximize spending categories on credit cards, and how you can earn 18%, 27%, or even 54% effective cash back by earning the welcome bonuses on the best travel rewards credit cards available.

Remember: military spouses and active duty military pay no annual fees on the cards!
