Credit Card Strategy Session

Make sense of the cards you have — and the ones you're considering.

Credit card rewards are the engine of most points strategies — and also where people get overwhelmed. Annual fees stack up, benefits go unused, and it's hard to know whether a card is earning its keep.

A strategy session looks at your existing cards and your goals, and helps you understand how issuers' ecosystems, earning rates, benefits, and fees fit together. The focus is education: understanding the trade-offs so you can make your own informed decisions.

What's included

  • A walkthrough of your current cards, fees, and benefits
  • An explanation of how earning rates and categories work
  • A framework for evaluating whether a card is worth keeping
  • Education about issuer ecosystems and transferable points

This service is a great fit if…

  • People whose annual fees have crept up over the years
  • Anyone unsure which card to use for which purchase
  • Travelers deciding between competing card ecosystems
  • Households coordinating cards across two or more people

Honest boundaries

  • Education only — not financial advice, and never a recommendation to take on debt
  • Card approval decisions are made solely by issuers
  • Opening new cards is not appropriate for everyone; carrying a balance to earn rewards never makes sense
