The Credit Card Industry is built on sexism (surprise, surprise, another industry that benefits the patriarchy) –– and not understanding how credit cards, credit scores, and things like reward points benefit men more than women is how it continues to go unchecked. Today’s guest is lifting the veil and taking us on a deep dive into the credit card industry –– how it works, why you might not be getting approved for that credit card even though you have a great salary, and how women are losing out when it comes to rewards. Vrinda Gupta is a former Visa Credit expert, who was denied for a card she helped create and is now on a mission to make sure women can build credit and have access to all the perks of credit cards with her company Sequin. Pre-Order “Financial Feminist: Overcome the Patriarchy’s Bullsh*t to Master Your Money and Build a Life You Love”: https://bit.ly/3PpHvlCOur HYSA recommendation [affiliate]:http://sofi.com/herfirst100kEpisode show notes:https://herfirst100k.com/financial-feminist-show-notes/ The Badass Budget Spreadsheet:https://herfirst100k.com/shop/badass-budget-spreadsheetOur Credit Card Recommendations:https://herfirst100k.com/recommended-credit-cardsFollow us on YouTube for behind the scenes and extras:https://www.youtube.com/c/HerFirst100K/featuredSkip the line for the Sequin Rewards Card:http://tiny.cc/hfk Follow Vrinda on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/vrinda.gupta/ Follow Sequin on Instagram:www.instagram.com/sequin_card  Follow Financial Feminist on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/financialfeministpodcast/  Follow Her First $100K on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/herfirst100k/ Looking for more actionable money advice?
