He's not doing all this out of the kindness of his heart; he's doing it because he wants the credit-card rewards.
In a recent poll from Ipsos, 71% of Americans surveyed said they had some sort of rewards, points, or cash-back card, and 80% of those with such a card said they valued their rewards.
But maybe we love our credit-card rewards too much, to the point that it's making us act in less-than-ideal ways toward those we hold near and dear.
But credit-card rewards are, indeed, making things uncomfortable.
I recently booked a fight with a friend who remarked she'd gotten some $300 in travel credit from her rewards card.
