My spouse rolls his eyes every time I bring up credit card offers. But then we stay in a hotel for free and suddenly it’s “wow, this is amazing” lol. Does anyone else get flak for being obsessed with points until it actually pays off?

Yep, my husband gives plenty of flack for all my lists and then is amazed at what we’ve accomplished that year. We are about to add a third kid, start a 4th business, and finish our major DIY home improvement project this year, with 2 FT careers. Small actions of value add up to major ROIs.

I financially support my parents. They are both like your spouse until they’re on the flight that was paid fully with points or they have a long delays and my credit card’s insurance covers their dining and lodging expenses. They had gone on a trip 2 years ago and booked their own airfare on their own non-travel card. They had a seven hour delay. I called them and asked what card they booked it on because my cards cover expenses at a six hour delay. That moment was when they both fully gave in and admitted they should’ve had me book their travel.

I used to catch flak, but now she is really into points to the degree that sometimes we argue over who's card to use because of random promotions.

My wife felt this way until we collected over 1M Chase UR points paying for our wedding and honeymoon lol

Is this legal? My spouses company just decided to change their comp structure for account managers. It was base + comm, now it’s commission only but nothing changed, OT commission is the same, didn’t get more points, just took away the base pay and said work harder basically. So now they have to worker harder to get $50k they were already making. (Not a decision based on employee performance, they’ve been crushing it. I think the company is just trying to save money they overspent else where)
