Customer Reviews
The master
The master of simple yet detailed and thorough explanations for all things credit card points, bank and brokerage bonuses, and just deals in general. Thanks to this podcast, our churning work is greatly simplified!
So Much Value!
This is my go to content for anything around credit card points and churning !
Bank bonuses
I am just starting this hobby as a retired individual with no paycheck, social security to deposit as a “ direct deposit” so I am trying to learn techniques to qualify for bonuses that require DD, from an employer, government or pension
