Military servicemembers and their spouse can get annual fees waived on personal cards from top banks such as American Express and Chase!

Today's episode covers:

What's the big deal about these cards? Why are they good?
How does this waiver thing work?
What order should I open my cards in?
How far can I take this? Is it going to be complicated?
How can I learn more about credit card strategies?

Remember, NO credit cards if you're already in credit card debt, living paycheck-to-paycheck, or struggling to make ends meet. This is a more advanced personal finance benefit.
