☆ With my Costco executive membership and store card, I earn enough rewards to pay for a whole shopping trip — here's how
▼ + stars: | 2024-08-04 | by ( Dawn Levitt | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +4 min

But even so, I think the pricier executive membership is 100% worth it for my family — especially when it's paired with the rewards from my Costco store credit card. Just remember that it's a credit card, and interest will be charged on any balance you carry over. Lindsey Nicholson/UCG/Universal Images Group via Getty ImagesFor my family, our average $300 monthly trip earns us an annual $72 from executive-membership rebates and $72 in Costco credit card rewards. For example, last year, we bought a washer and dryer, tires for the car, and my laptop through our Costco membership. In total, we earned over $400 last year between our executive membership and Costco store credit card.

Shares of Nextracker dropped in extended trading Thursday as questions about the solar technology firm's backlog of projects overshadowed its better-than-expected quarterly results. Scrutiny of Nextracker's revenue backlog came more into focus during Nextracker's conference call with analysts. That, in turn, impacts the pace at which Nextracker's backlog becomes reported revenue. With interest rate cuts on the horizon, the economics of solar projects should get a whole lot better.

Elijah Nouvelage | Afp | Getty ImagesHow the LIFT Act could look todaySince the LIFT Act was first proposed in 2018, the cost of living has only skyrocketed, hitting working-class Americans especially hard. However, funding such a tax credit now could be tough amid growing concerns over the federal budget deficit. The advantage of the LIFT tax credit, said D'Acunto, is that it doesn't create the same market distortions the rent cap would ignite. Child tax credit is a 'huge priority' for DemocratsLIFT was first proposed years before Congress temporarily expanded the child tax credit during the Covid-19 pandemic, which could now be a bigger priority, experts say. Harris described the child tax credit changes as one of the "most important" and "most impactful" parts of the legislation in a 2021 speech.

☆ The Federal Reserve sets the stage for a rate cut — here's what that means for your money

In the wake of the rate hike cycle, the average credit card rate rose from 16.34% in March 2022 to more than 20% today — nearing an all-time high. A recent report from the Philadelphia Federal Reserve showed credit card delinquencies at an all-time high, according to data going back to 2012. The best move for those with credit card debt is to take matters into their own hands, advised Matt Schulz, chief credit analyst at LendingTree. Home loan rates have already started to fall, largely due to the prospect of a Fed-induced economic slowdown. Student loansFederal student loan rates are also fixed, so most borrowers aren't immediately affected by the Fed's moves.

"For too long our government has violated the cardinal rule that every bitcoiner knows by heart: Never sell your bitcoin," Trump said at this year's Bitcoin Conference in Nashville. Kennedy went further than Trump, promising to establish a 4 million bitcoin strategic reserve to match the country's current stake in gold, some of which is held near the military base at Fort Knox. But Trump's reservation speaks to the complications of promising a bitcoin strategic reserve on par with the gold standard. An executive order would not be enough to bring a U.S. bitcoin reserve into existence. That existing bitcoin stockpile could act as the foundation for the bitcoin strategic reserve, which the U.S. government would build on by regularly buying a certain number of bitcoin.

One potential catalyst for the stock is Amazon's annual Prime Day event and its ripple effects. JPMorgan, for one, said Prime Day will help Amazon "rationalize inventory levels" ahead of higher consumer demand in the second half of the year.
