We’ve been having a little fun lately here at Bankaholic playing around with YouTube videos.
In our pilot production, our very own “Bankaholic Bankerette” Alicia Lagan shares her tips on how to improve our credit score.

Wow wow wee waa she hot
She is hot! I wasn’t paying attention to what she was saying.
1) Keep your balance less than 1/3 of your limit.
example: Credit limit 6000. Balance shouldn’t go over 2000.
2) Pay the full amount each month and don’t carry balance.
3) Limit your cards to 2.
4) Pick a good card and stick with it. Don’t jump card to card. Recommend a cash or reward card if paying full each month. 0% interest for 12+ month card for paying of large balance.
By following these rules, I have moved my credit score from 555 to 788 in 1 year and continue to be in 750 to 790 bracket for this year.
This is great but what about the card hoppers who want to take advantage of the great offers Bankaholic keeps telling us about. My own score is 790 and I’d like to keep it like that or make it higher, but I sure do like free money!
GORGEOUS girl!! I think I’m in love……
Nice summary but nothing new to learn here. Thanks.
What kind of videos would you guys like to see next? We are already working on brainstorming our next clip.
I think a video on what I asked would be great!
How to card hop smarter maybe?
That girl is Alicia, the daughter of the guy who runs the bankaholic.com site.
Well, you definitely have the guys’ attention! 
That was a good video with good info. I agree with jacmac about the cardhopping 101 course. I’d like to see that too.
Thanks!
In addition to the freebees we get i.e. a 100$/50$ promotion, you can also give us an idea on how much it will go towards tax as we will know the exact money we make in the freebees.
Have ‘er do ‘em topless!
i have been hopping for years in portrush
frog and card hopping!
blah blah blah hot blonde blah blah blah credit blah blah blah hot blonde
Let’s keep it civil! This is family site!
I thought the video was great. I unfortunetly stumbled upon it after hearing you’re not supposed to check your credit score online because it lowers your score. O well, this was a great help. How about a good clip of mortgages, loans, and stuff pertaining to buying houses, or the difference on IRA’s, ect… They both still relate to banking! Great site, btw, and keep up the good work!
Lame how you direct them to freecreditreport.com which is a for-profit site and not mentioning this fact, instead of pointing them to the government-appointed annualcreditreport.com. If this is supposed to be an instructional not promotional video, you shouldn’t be misleading people into thinking it is a free service. Especially people who have and are likely to be prone to make poor financial decisions.
How can checking your FICO on the internet lower the FICO score? That sounds wrong to me.
Matt,
You can’t check your credit score at annualcreditreport.com, only your report.
Only freecreditreport lets you see your actual score. Do your homework.
Matt is right – and that is exactly what I was going to say. Warren is right that you can’t get a free score, but it is just as important to check your report – that is what generates the score. And you will have the option to purchase your score at a lower price than normal when going through annualcreditreport.com. Let’s put it this way, freecreditreport.com has a disclaimer on the left hand side stating that they are not the site to receive your free legal credit report, and have a link to annualcreditreport.com.
On second watch, she actually says to check your score and says it’s about $15. Then she says to check your credit history (credit report) at freecreditreport.com. I’m sure there were dollars exchanged for that one. Or, in the words of Warren, someone didn’t do their homework. And I think it’s time that one of the three of us point out the fact that she is allowed to say whatever-the-heck she wants to.
Gorgeous girl!!! Have her do the next video too!
That girl is not the daughter of the bankaholic guy…. Her father owns a car dealership in Ireland actually…. She has only been living in the U.S for 4 years. I know her.
And in case you were wondering… yes, they’re real and they’re spectacular. I know because I did her in the airport bathroom the day she arrived.
Good for you Johnny-boy.
The little chick needs to improvise instead of reading off of a piece of paper to remember what to talk about.
Learn everything you’re going to talk about, then memorize the topics and sub-topics. This wasn’t professional.
To those of you complaining about a possibility of affiliation with freecreditreport.com, does it really matter? Every other legitimate website is going to give you the same information, maybe for a buck or two more or less monthly. I use freecreditreport.com and it’s pretty decent.
Beware: with freecreditreport.com you pay $15/month and you only get credit reports from Experien, you have to pay $30 more to get reports from all three bureaus.
