"2x points" is advertised front and center, but since I couldn't find information on how they can be used or redeemed, I'm not sure if they are actually worth anything. For me, if you do not have, for example, airline transfer partners, I would not particularly value these points. FYI, optimizing for travel rewards is probably the #1 reason folks with a healthy disposable income use credit cards.
- krisrm 8y agoNoticed the same thing. I have a deep seated distrust for "point" cards. I guess I don't really fly much either, so airmiles are useless towards me. I just don't see the benefit of acquiring points in a corporation's economic fiefdom, where they control the value of both the currency and the products you purchase with them. FWIW, I have a decent amount of disposable income and do use a credit card, but with cashback. I'm ~keeping pace with inflation and providing some sort of cushion between my chequing account and disreputable folk, so it's better than most other payment methods as far as I can tell.
