Why does anyone bother with credit cards? 🧐

Is it the cashbacks, the rewards, online offers or just for building credit score?

Because in my experience, they helped only with my credit score which I do not need! 🤔

Cashbacks on large purchases ~ Phone etc is major appeal.

Had ~ 6-8K of cashback due but it never hit my card.

Best guess, I didn't qualify for it due to some obscure clause in the convoluted T&Cs.

Moreover, there is no easy recourse, we all know how horrible support is.

Internet is full of hacks & methods to enhance "work productivity", this can become a case of reductive thinking.

Rarely, you can have so much work, in a team or individually, feel like being underwater; onky wise thing is do just work on anything regardless of priority!

Imagine you are middle of an ocean, no land in sight. The best strategy is not to "think & plan" which direction but to just swim & not drown.

Once you have covered a certain distance & have land in sight, then you can reorient yourself & chart a course to nearest shore.
