I learned to play the credit card rewards game when I was 19.
Over the years, I’ve enjoyed countless free flights, hotel stays & rental cars simply by paying off my cards every month.
When Gemini launched its Bitcoin rewards card in 2022, I jumped in early & used it exclusively throughout the 2022–2023 bear market.
Meanwhile, my Marriott, Delta, & Capital One reward points continued facing inflation & devaluations. My Bitcoin rewards went in the opposite direction.
$2,272 in Bitcoin rewards is now worth $3,919. A 72% gain on money I was going to spend anyway.
Same spending habits, but very different outcomes.
Just another part of the game of trying to accumulate wealth & enjoying free experiences along the way. Play the game wisely!
