Credit card companies are in the business of making money, not helping consumers. They lure people in with flashy sign-up bonuses, promising thousands of points, free flights, or cashback. But the reality is that these "rewards" are designed to get you hooked. Once you're in, they count on you making mistakes—missing a payment, carrying a balance, or overspending to chase bonuses.

The result? High-interest debt, fees, and financial stress. The rewards you earned pale in comparison to what you pay back in interest and charges. It's a system rigged against the average consumer.

That's where The Rewards Blueprint comes in. This blog isn't about falling for credit card traps—it's about playing the game strategically.
