    So I am terrible with my expenses and am looking to make it worse thanks to this forum. I'm looking for a new credit card and am looking to spend possibly $7000+ on modifications on my truck. Was wondering if anyone know of some good cash back credit cards for high spenders.

    I would strongly recommend not opening a new credit card to mod your Tacoma.

    Anyone seen my wallet?
    Are you going to be able to pay off the 7K before getting charged interest? If not, why bother looking for a cash back card?

    This has got to be the worst idea in the history of bad ideas.

    You’ve already said you’re bad with expenses so what in the bloody hell makes you think this is reasonable?

    Why would you open a credit card to mod a truck? Seems pretty reckless IMO.

    opening with "bad with expenses" and ending with "open credit card to mod my truck" is not a good sentence formation

    I hope this is actually a Friday post. But presumably you need advice? Cash for mods only. They are optional and should only be done with truly after budget disposal income. Then of course if you want to leverage the benefits of the few, put the 7k on something like upromose of Amazon cards so your kids or wife can have a bonus. Just be sure you pay it in full before the 22 day grace period.

    I'm getting rid of a lot of clutter at home such as old hobbies and that should help a little bit to pay it off and will be picking up overtime when available at work too.

    Please tell me you have 7k in cash to immediately pay off the mods once charged to plastic....

    I get doing it for rewards. I take advantage of stacking rewards from time to time. Recently I paid for $1500+ in Airbnb gift cards at a local grocer by using a Rewards CC. I went to the grocery store to gain 4X gas points. I also got rewards from the CC. I immediately paid off the purchase so no interest was charged.

    If you’re just trying to finance the mods, this is a terrible idea.

    OMG, don't do this, it's not worth it. Save your money and build your truck over time. Good luck with whatever you do.

    Hmmmm, what about maybe a little bit at a time? Like maybe a 2k credit line and then keep paying it off right after?
    I needed some leafs and shocks cause mine's about to bust. I used a 4wheelparts card and a summit racing card and I won't have any interest so long as I pay them off within promo period.
