Does the Apple Card Belong In Your Wallet? (2023 Review)

In 2019, Apple announced what many had suspected: it was releasing its own credit card. While Goldman Sachs would be the ones actually issuing the product, the card would combine the user-friendly tech and stylish aesthetic that the company’s many raving fans have grown accustomed to. Then the Apple Card arrived — and so, naturally, I had to get one for myself. I’ll admit that my interest in Apple Card...

Money at 30: M1 Finance Owner's Rewards Credit Card Overview

For a time, it seemed as though every FinTech was rolling out its own debit card — including some that broke the mold with some interesting features. Since then, some neobanks have moved on to creating unique credit card products instead. Among them is M1 Finance, which originally launched its Owner's Rewards Card in 2021. Since then, the card has undergone some tweaks, but the idea remains largely the same:...

Cash App Cash Card Review (2023)

Have you ever owned something for years before one day you suddenly discovered a super useful function you never knew it had?

This led me to start researching various cards before ultimately landing on my final choice: the Discover It card.

Money at 30: Barclays View Credit Card Review

From time to time, credit card issuers are forced to make changes to their product line-up. For example, while a bank may have previously partnered with another company for a co-branded card, the rights to that portfolio may have been sold to another issuer — or the brand just gets out of the credit card game altogether. That was the case in 2021 as the Barclays Apple Rewards card (which...

Money at 30: When the Fee Hits - The Platinum Card 3 Years Later

All year long, I write about the various awesome things I get to do and ways I get to save with my American Express Platinum card. Nevertheless, when the annual fee hit my account earlier this month, it reminded me that holding the card does require a commitment. What's more, this was the first time I was assessed the new annual fee of $695, which increased from $550 last year....

Money at 30: Bilt Rewards Mastercard Review

A few months back, I was introduced to the Bilt Rewards Mastercard when it was announced that Wells Fargo would be issuing the card. What interested me in the product was that, at long last, it would reward cardholders on one of their largest monthly expenses: rent.
