What we publish now
Our current publications cover travel, loyalty programs, credit card rewards and everyday money. Our work is published on the web: guides that explain how something works, worked examples that show the arithmetic, and practical questions to help you make a decision.
Our guides help you understand your options. Before booking or applying for a product, check the current terms with the provider.
Start with a question
- "I've never used points. Where do I begin?" Start with TravelTutor, then Points Professor for how card and bank points work.
- "Which card should I use for groceries?" Card Calculator works through the numbers, including caps and costs.
- "My employer is paying for this trip. What am I allowed to do?" Traveler.work covers company-funded travel, policies and reimbursement.
- "What should I check before renting a car?" Rental Car Reviews explains US rental programs, booking terms, fees and card-benefit conditions.

Why you can rely on our guides
We check changeable rules against the provider’s own pages and, where rules change often, say when we checked them. We label invented examples as invented, separate checked facts from our judgment, and say so when official sources disagree. We don’t invent personal experience or reviews. AI tools help with research and drafting; a named editor decides what we publish, and we correct mistakes when we find them.
Where we're heading
Travel and rewards are where we've started. Our longer-term interests include finance and retirement, technology and AI, education and health. We plan to extend our work into video, books and other formats as the portfolio develops.
How we work
Our standards call for traceable sources, clearly labelled examples and corrections when we find mistakes. Read our editorial standards, or contact us about a correction, permission or enquiry.
