I Think Manufactured Spending Is Dumb – God Save the Points

I can’t say I agree with this take. I think it focuses on the extreme worst case scenario which doesn’t happen to 99% of people. And with bank rules getting tougher and tougher I don’t think a healthy diet of welcome offers is possible like it once was.  Some of these options are an actual business too like reselling gift cards, buyers groups, coin deals where profit is made on top of points.

This hero saved thousands by eating every meal at Six Flags—and he’s not the only one [Updated] – The Takeout 

We love travel hacking, how about food hacking! I noticed this plan when I had a membership for Six Flags when my parents lived in Georgia. I thought it would be a great option if you lived or worked nearby but I never would have done it every day.  That is taking it way too far lol.

Sorry about the paywall but an interesting look behind the scenes. Maybe you can find someone else picking up the story on Google etc. Let us know if you do.
