If you’re looking for a new credit card, you should consider these bad boys. They offer good financing, reasonable fees, and excellent reward points. Let’s expand our buying power by taking a look at the 5 best U.S. credit cards for 2020. 

Chase Sapphire Preferred

With a $95 annual fee and an APR of 15.99-22.99%, the Sapphire Preferred card is the best you can get in 2020. You’ll get 60,000 reward points if you spend $4,000 in the first three months -- the equivalent of $750 toward your next vacation.

Wells Fargo Propel American Express

The Propel is probably the most accessible card on the list, with a $0 annual fee and an APR from 13.99%-25.99%. There’s also no fee for converting to a foreign currency. You will earn triple the points for: travel expenses (airfare, hotels, car rentals), dining out or ordering in, and transportation costs.

Chase Sapphire Reserve

This one is less accessible, but still excellent. For an annual fee of $550, the Sapphire Reserve gives you access to thousands of airport lounges around the world. You’ll get triple the points on travel expenses, and you can transfer those points to hotel and airline loyalty programs.

United Explorer Card

The first year is free, but it’s $95 a year thereafter. You’ll get priority boarding on United flights, and even access to special airport lounges. You’ll also get to check your first bag for free, and enjoy a 25% rebate on any in-flight purchases.

Marriott Bonvoy Boundless

If you stay in hotels a lot, this is a card for you. The Bonvoy Boundless card costs $95 annually. For that price, you’ll get 6 times the points for staying at any hotel participating in the program (over 7,000), one free night a year, no foreign transaction fees, and 15 Elite Night credits every year.

I received a password reset email that looked real, but after clicking it, I lost access to several accounts. What should I do?

You got a password reset email that looked completely legit, so you clicked the link, followed the steps…and now you’re locked out of multiple accounts. This is one of the most common ways people get hacked, and it’s designed to feel convincing in the moment. The good news is that even if you’ve already clicked the link, there’s still a lot you can do to stop things from getting worse and regain control.

AI-generated image of a woman worried about rent increase.

My landlord raised the rent, but my friend says he raised it more than he legally can. How do I fight this?

You open the notice and see your rent is going up. Then your friend chimes in saying it might not even be legal. Now you’re stuck wondering if your landlord is pushing their luck or if this is just how renting works. The truth is, it depends, but here’s the encouraging part: there are real rules around rent increases, and if something’s off, you absolutely have ways to push back instead of just accepting it.
