> It is a stupid game that I am forced to play

You are not forced to play it. That is a just story you tell yourself. You can make a different choice.

All loyalty programs are stupid. People waste their time on 1-2% savings. It is insane.

  • 2% savings on all of your consumer spending isn't insignificant, when compounded over time.

  • That's one free round trip international flight per year in a lot of cases. Plus sometimes other benefits like theft insurance, warranty extension, phone insurance, etc.

    You're subsidizing everyone else if you're not trying to get the best loyalty program.
