Birch Finance suggests the best credit card for you based off of your spending habits. 2017 saw a lot of new card offerings and deals, but Birch Finance believes the deals are only going to get better in 2018.
Alex Cohen is the CEO of Birch Finance and he joins Cheddar to explain the credit card trends of 2017. The Chase Sapphire Reserve card went viral but also experienced high churn. Uber also launched a credit card that is potentially the best no-fee, cash back card on the market. Cohen believes Lyft might also launch their own credit card to dive into loyalty. He could imagine Air BnB also launching a credit card to expand their offerings.
For 2018, Cohen thinks businesses will launch credit cards that are focused on the millennial shopper. He also anticipates trends toward more co-branded cards and even more competitive premium cards.

American businesses that rely on Chinese goods are reacting with muted relief after the U.S. and China agreed to pause their exorbitant tariffs on each other’s products for 90 days. Many companies delayed or canceled orders after President Donald Trump last month put a 145% tariff on items made in China. Importers still face relatively high tariffs, however, as well as uncertainty over what will happen in the coming weeks and months. The temporary truce was announced as retailers and their suppliers are looking to finalize their plans and orders for the holiday shopping season. They’re concerned a mad scramble to get goods onto ships will lead to bottlenecks and increased shipping costs.
Shopping expert Trae Bodge discusses how talks between the U.S. and China is good news for now, but uncertainty remains for back-to-school and the holidays.
