Common Questions
During the current state, frequent questions that are coming up are:
- Should we even bother with miles and points? -There is a common misconception that miles and points is only tied to travel, but it’s not true!
- Which credit card should I sign up for? What is the best credit card out there right now? -These questions will always be out there regardless of what state we are in.
- What is the best rewards program right now? If we sign up for a lot of them, how do we even manage them all (I do not want so many cards in my wallet)? -All good questions till now.
