Holly’s thoughts on credit card rewards

“I use credit card rewards to help supplement my family travel budget, and to make travel more comfortable and fun! Flying long haul business class is one of my favorite travel redemptions, and I try to do it as much as possible. If you want to do the same, I recommend focusing your rewards strategy on earning flexible points.”
