Published 3 months ago • 1 min read

Hello Reader,

Has summer unofficially started for you yet?

If you have kids, especially in the southern half of the U.S., chances are you have. I'm both jealous of the early start to summer but also happy we don't start out schools in mid-August!

Do you have any fun plans for the summer?

😢 Earning points & miles without a credit card

Earning miles and points to get inexpensive travel is great but most of it relies on getting a welcome bonus from a credit card.

And while that's how you get 90% of those points, there are other ways to earn a few extra miles doing things you're already doing.

👻 Beware mimetic desire

Humans are bad at knowing what we want.

As a result, we tend to look to others for a clue.

That can be dangerous.

👉 Don't fall victim to mimetic desire

🤹 An app maximize your credit card rewards

Good morning Reader, If you're getting a ton of credit card offers and want them to stop, register on OptOutPrescreen.
