Alice wants you to know

Until she was 33, Alice carried a single credit card in her wallet: a starter card from her credit union that she applied for in college. Since learning more about credit cards, she’s created her own tailored rewards strategy that works for her and her lifestyle. Alice believes that everyone has their own unique approach to credit and what works for some or even most people may not work for you. “I don’t travel, I don’t have kids, and I don’t own a home. What works for me in terms of credit card rewards and perks looks a little different from a lot of credit card aficionados and experts in the industry – and that’s okay, You have to take your time to decide what is going to work best for you.”
