Many cards add a ~3% foreign transaction fee on everything you buy abroad. It never shows as its own line, so you never see it. On a $3,000 trip that is ~$90 for nothing. Pack a card with no foreign transaction fees.
Chase Sapphire Reserve just updated its Apple TV Apple Music benefit. Apple One subscribers now get $15/mo off instead of overlapping subscriptions that did nothing. Individual plan drops to $4.95/mo. Activate both credits in the Chase app before 12/31:

Money sent on a payment app to a stranger is gone for good once accepted, and the apps do not reimburse scam payments. For anyone you do not know, pay with a credit card so you can dispute it. Bank-impersonation texts are spiking this year. Slow down.

Your credit card company will pay you to not cancel. It is called a retention offer. Call, say the annual fee is hard to justify, then go quiet. Last year it turned my $95 fee into a $50 credit. One 5-minute call.
Tips:
1️⃣ Call within 30-60 days of your fee posting, that's when offers are most common
2️⃣ Be polite, not threatening. "Hard to justify" beats "cancel my card now"
3️⃣ Never cancel on the spot. You can always close later
✈️ The lounge layer:
4️⃣ Centurion Lounges: unlimited 2 guests (same-flight rule starts July 8!)
5️⃣ Priority Pass: not automatic, enroll now
6️⃣ Delta Sky Club: when flying Delta the same day
7️⃣ Plaza Premium lounges: included, most people miss this
⚠️ The trap: Equinox auto-renews on your card. Not going? Set a reminder to cancel before renewal.
📌 Kudos tracks every credit on your cards, so nothing expires unused.
Go get that $1,000! You've got this.

Fed meets June 16-17. Fed funds rate: 3.65%. Avg credit card APR: ~22%. The 18-point spread is the bank's markup. A 25bp cut moves your variable APR by 25bp → ~$12/yr on a $5,000 balance. A balance transfer cuts more than any Fed move. Comment APRGAP.
If you're carrying a balance, a transfer to a 0% intro APR card cuts way more than any Fed move will:
1️⃣ Check your current APR and balance
2️⃣ Find a card with a 0% intro period (12-21 months)
3️⃣ Calculate your transfer fee vs interest saved. It's almost always worth it
