Does it factor people who pay everything on CC and pay it off each month to get points? If so that’s pretty misleading. Everyone I know nowadays is doing this, it’s stupid not to.

Yeah, is this past due or is that just a snapshot at a random time of the month? I’m one of the weirdos who puts everything on my card and pays it off each month, so if my debt is considered in this figure, it could be very misleading.

This. Also if it includes business credit cards, that's a whole other thing

With this in mind, I bet you purchase 1.5% (or whatever %) more than you would otherwise.

I bet most of that debt is on cards that don't have many if any reward options.

I'm sitting on almost a million points and have never paid interest. CC companies would never offer that shite if everyone was as responsible as you, me and our respectable friends.
