Sorry for the scary under-lighting! It was getting progressively darker as I took this video and I guess I thought it would be a good idea to shine my computer right at my face.

And I am not in any way being paid by Capital One or anything similar. I highly recommend doing your own research before making any decisions about money! This is just the way I do it! :)
