Loyalty programs? Don’t fall for the hype. Points are inflating faster than the dollar. What used to get you a flight to Hawaii now barely buys you a carry-on. I sign up for every program—but I cash out the second I get the points. That’s how smart consumers win....

You’re so right. Just look at the sign on bonuses. They keep getting higher and higher which really means the value is going down lower and lower

This is true. Just look at Aeroplan. The point hit is 3x what it was 10 years ago. I would have been far better off to have used them.

Same thing with taxes, figure out how much you’ll owe based on your income and set your exemptions so you owe as close to $0 as possible Don’t give the government free money to earn interest on throughout the year just to get a bigger “refund”

And be sure to get your 2% (minimum) on CC charges, BUT, if you're not paying the CC balance off every month you're throwing your $$ in the garbage and points become meaningless.

I've seen this points devaluation happen with my hotel program. Used to get a free night for 15K points, now it's 25K. Makes more sense to use them right away instead of hoarding them, doesn't it?

Kevin, I don't think you collect points maybe gold bars but not points.

An angry caller confronts Dave Ramsey for calling “Infinite Banking” a scam only to walk directly into a brutal financial reality check. ​Caller: “I am calling in response to a video I saw recently that you claimed infinite banking concept was a scam and actually got quite pissed off about it. I do not agree with that, and certain points that you made in that video. And I have set up a policy for my son when he was 1 years old, he's 5 now. Has a 500 thousand dollar face value. We pay 5,373 dollars a year for 13 years, and it's paid up at that point. There's a few points that I wanted to discuss that I just didn't agree with. One of the main things was that... so you claim that the cash value dies with you, and you only get the face value paid out.” ​Dave: “That's true. That is.” ​Caller: “Well, it's not true if you reinvest the dividends back into the policy.” ​Dave: “Dividend reinvestment is not cash value. Dividend reinvestment is because you have a mutual company, and the policyholders are the owners of the company. And so the profits from the company come to the policyholder, and they use that to buy paid up additions. That is not the same as keeping your cash value. That's buying extra insurance with your overpayment.” ​Caller: “But it still works out to be having a cash value much greater than the $69,849 we put into it.” ​Dave: “But the actual cash value, not the paid up additions... the actual cash value dies with you.” ​Caller: “No, because—” ​Dave: “Yes it does. I think... oh, OK.” ​Caller: “But your death benefit is larger than your cash value, so for me, I looked at it—” ​Dave: “Because you bought more insurance! You know what a paid up addition is? A paid up addition is buying additional insurance. I understand that's why you're getting more at death. Not because you got your cash value, but because you used your policy dividends to buy additional insurance. Right? But that's different than getting your cash value. If you took those policy dividends and went and bought a term insurance policy for 100,000, well, you'd get 100,000. But that's not your cash value.” ​Caller: “Well, I have a term policy.” ​Dave: “I know, but you missed my point. You're talking about... you use the policy dividends. You use the money they send to you because you're in a mutual company to buy additional insurance.” ​Caller: “Yes, paid up additions, yeah.” ​Dave: “Yeah, if you'd buy a term policy on the side for $100,000 instead, with that same money, you would get $100,000 more than your face value. But that's not your cash value, that's additional insurance. They're different.” ​Caller: “But right... they are different. In term, you don't have cash value to borrow again.” ​Dave: “I'm aware of that. But your point was that you don't lose the cash value, and my point is 100% of the time, by definition, you lose the cash value.”
