You'd be surprised how many people either don't know about credit card rewards or just don't bother. The amount of people I've told about it who just shake it off with a confused look is way too ****ing high. It's very simple!

With a caveat that I consider myself an advanced player of the credit card rewards game, my wife and I are flying to Scotland this summer in lie-flat business class both directions (and first class in the U.S.), entirely paid for by credit card rewards. Unless you have trouble controlling yourself from overspending, you're leaving a ton of value on the table if you only use cash.
