Introduction to Credit Cards

I want to provide clear, concise, and easy to understand material for those who have little to no experience with credit cards. Growing up and going through school, no one has ever taught me the true benefits of credit cards and how they really can make travel so much cheaper.

Here, you will find introductory material about credit cards and common questions I get asked by those who are new to traveling by using credit card perks, points, and miles. The material will grow in complexity as you learn. Navigate the articles by clicking on the topics.
