Summary

The points hobby has changed massively over the years. We have more points-earning cards, higher sign-up bonus offers, and rewards programs themselves are becoming more innovative. But on the other hand, we’ve also seen some less positive changes, like more restrictions around acquiring rewards credit cards, stricter eligibility rules, and limitations on how many cards you can hold at once.

Discover the top five questions you simply can’t afford to ignore when you’re considering applying for a new rewards credit card. These questions will save you from getting the right card at the wrong time, ending up with the wrong cards at any time, and making the mistakes that could prevent you from earning the most points possible.
