    I really hope Capital One allows us to keep our Walmart card. I only got it a few months ago, but i exclusively shop at Walmart for grocery pick-up and i love the 5% cash-back. If it gets replaced, i hope it's with something that also gives 5% back.

      They could always make their own card that gets high multipliers at Walmart but since they got dumped, I don’t see them in the mood to send business to Wally World

    Thanks for sharing. Things did change with Cap One/Walmart announcement. My WM/CO card was arbitrarily removed from my WalmartPay account. No announcement for the disconnect or anything. Only found out when I got to the register to pay for my groceries. Not a good customer experience.

    If they add a Resy credit to the gold card to compensate for the price hike, I am instantly cancelling.

    • @RJFinancial
      @RJFinancial  Před 3 měsíci

      I think Resy is a lock. Maybe one other thing as well, not that it'll make much difference but they seem to add 2-3 things at once then it's easier to say you don't have to use them all

    I’m hoping for a solid bank replacement for the Walmart card, I’ve held the Walmart card since 2017 with no offer to upgrade to the MC version Capital One while a solid bank has abysmal underwriting. Not sure which bank would make the most sense yet alone want to bother with Walmart after two others split with them. Coastal Community Bank would make the most sense with their One Debit card through them anxious to see what happens!

    • @RJFinancial
      @RJFinancial  Před 3 měsíci +2

      I feel like it's BOA's turn to get one. Not sure why. I always want Chase as they make the best non travel cobranded cards. Likely that Wally World tried to roll it under their fintech division they were talking about. I think that would be worse for everyone

    You were correct RJ, letters are now going out from Capital One to Walmart card holders that they will be product changed to QuickSilver. I’m bummed about this as I liked getting 5% back online, but wish it would have been in store also. A 1.5% card does me no good as I already have a 2% card. Perhaps I’ll try to product change to a Savor.

    • @RJFinancial
      @RJFinancial  Před 25 dny

      Sadly, they'd don't care about an even swap. Simply making it an easy swap as in no annual fee. I've heard the AAA daily advantage gets 5x in Walmart stores. I have it but haven't used it there yet

  • @diamondshard2
    @diamondshard2 Před 3 měsíci

    It would be nice if they reduce the coupon aspect of the Gold card, but add a 5X dining multiplier. For example, I would be ok with a $120 Uber credit, 5X dining credit, 4X groceries @ $325 AF. I would say that's pretty fair. Essentially a $200 effective annual fee but you get a 5X dining, which would have been similar to the Citi Prestige. That way the card would be a 5,4,3 card. 5X dining, 4X groceries, 3X airfare.

    • @RJFinancial
      @RJFinancial  Před 3 měsíci

      We assume Amex doesn't pay for the coupons, or at the least pays minimally. They would have to pay for the points earned so I can't see them wanting to do that. They haven't increased or add multipliers in years... it is my main complaint along with you. Nothing of real value.

      @metalheadami123 Před 3 měsíci

      @@andreeldridge8457 sure, so the savor 1 earns 3x points on the same categories as the gold, and you can transfer those points for travel. Since the savor is free and each point costs around 1 cent per point on average then you’ll need to spend 32.5k on the gold just to offset the annual fee

    • @RJFinancial
      @RJFinancial  Před 3 měsíci

      Depends on how you grade the points when transferring but yes, I agree. The gold is good but it's trickier than it seems to hit the return

      I'll guess that Ami means that in, order to make the Amex Gold (which I've never had) a better option than the Savor One (which I have and find useful frequently), the dining spend on the Amex Gold would have to exceed $32,000.00 per year.
      Amex Gold costs $325 per year. The Savor One has no annual fee and comes with complimentary Uber One membership.

    I have 2 cards with the resy credit and even living in a city with a good selection of restaurants I still find it super annoying and only value it at half of face value for my AF break even calcs. I took an upgrade offer to plat so won’t have to worry about how annoying the gold is for a while anyway. It was a big enough offer to “lose” my chance for a new SUB since im always in pop up jail anyway and trying not to open any non keeper personal cards anyway

    • @RJFinancial

      No. Product changes aren’t a new account and they only give offers for new accounts. You’d have to open before the change. But it’s only a guess on my part. I can’t say you should take action now. They’ll probably be a small window where we know that’s coming and then can decide
