135 - Is There a Good Way to Use a Credit Card?

In episode 103, we discussed why most people are actually losing money from their credit card points.  Our argument is a combination of psychological and tracking issues, resulting in a net loss even after receiving the benefit of various rewards, miles, and cash back.  We received a lot of questions and feedback about this episode.  The most notable question is whether we believe there's a way to use credit cards (through the lens of building credit) without subjecting ourselves to the negatives.  In today's episode, host Travis Shelton outlines one way it's possible.  We're not a fan of this approach, per se, but since you asked, we shall answer.  Hope you enjoy!
