Reply To: Stoozing vs rewards cards

[Luca M]

Good points on higher taxpayers benefits, but also a lot depend on the return you get on rewards card.

MSE users do not consider using rewards on premium cabin flight as a good return as they would never spend that much money to travel in premium cabin in the first place so the “higher value” claimed through that channel does not stack up for the majority of them.

The same if you try to explain to them the value of the Platinum card by Amex (there it would get confused fits with the cashback card of similar name), when you can argue all you want about £300 credits on high end restaurant spend, £100 at HN and lounge access..

It is a good financial site but I do not think it calls for direct comparison for Frequent Flyers, high earners with a lot of disposable income, or simply HfP readers that enjoy travelling in comfort and love a a way of doing so cheaply.
