This Credit Card Lifehack Saves Me Cash Every Single Day

preview

It’s official: cash is dead. Long live credit cards! Seriously, though, with credit and debit cards making up 75% of all spending, the competition between banks is fierce. Marketing tactics include everything from price drop refunds and airline miles to cash-back rewards. And with all things, when competition is fierce, we, the consumers, win!Like many of you, having multiple cards in my pocket means I often forget which card has the best rewards program. Fed up with me leaving cash on the table day after day, my wife came up with this ingenious lifehack to ensure I always use the right card to maximize savings on each purchase.What about you? What’s your favorite lifehack? Drop a comment below and share it here with our community.We will be selecting the very best and writing up a new series on lifehacks&nbsp;shortly! I would love to get some inspiration from our readers!CAnativeBeen there, done that. Works well except must stay on top of changing rewards programs. This month, Starbucks 5% on BofA Visa; next month no more Starbucks on BofA Visa but yes more on Citi Visa. Etc.Nan DI believe my method’s pretty easy to maintain and use. I use a simple Memo app on my Android phone. I created a category SHOPPING DISCOUNTS and in the text, list all my credit cards (no numbers of course) and stores I frequent. For example:MyCard1 – 3% gas, 2% grocery, 1% all otherMyCard2 – Oct-Dec -5% Home Improvement, RestaurantsMyCard3 -3% Department, 2% Home Improvement, 1% Drug StoresLUNCH X -10% on TuesdaysSEW-STORE -5% 1st Monday ea monthI’m not the kind of person to go to a store or buy an item only because it’s a deal. But if I’m on my way to the register in any store, I check this list on my phone and know which card to present.N ShahI do not like multiple cards with different pay by dates and revolving cash back offers. I prefer to use only one card with fixed 2% cash back on all purchases (and NO annual fee).RichardI use the smallest yellow post-it pad and write the cashback amount and description and stick it to each card. I can see at a glance what each card does. I did not come up with this idea but another Groovy Post reader did.I also love the Memo App idea too!!!Frank DMy system is pretty simple:Use 5% Gas CC for fuel.Use the 2% CB card at all times and 1.5% as backup (sometimes due to travel or new stores, there is a (delayed) security block )Use store cards at their location, which cards we only have if there is a cash back or other benefit that we want.I stopped with the special rotating promos of temporary 5% somewhere on a car, because either we have that store card that gives 5% – or we may not shop there or maybe every so minimally and infrequently.
