[00:43] IsambardPrince These little credit card points are something you get for cycling large expenditures through their cards with. [00:44] IsambardPrince It returns some of the money to you, but not a lot. [00:44] IsambardPrince Nobody should view this as "making money", it's "recapturing a tiny percentage of what you spend", if that. [00:45] IsambardPrince It can make sense if you're doing your grocery shopping, or filling the gas tank, or paying the light bill. [00:45] IsambardPrince But remember that these points will never create income. They can minimize the expenditure, but that's it. [00:47] IsambardPrince schestowitz[TR2]: Like, we went to Wendy's today. I separate our orders into two so I can use two coupons on it.
