A newsletter for the reward-minded traveler

You're sitting on a
goldmine of points.
Let's use them.

Every week, Rewardist breaks down the best credit card strategies, award travel opportunities, and points hacks worth knowing — without the jargon, the 4,000-word blog posts, or the paid-for recommendations.

What lands in your inbox

Points strategy

Which cards to get, when to get them, and how to stack them. Based on real math, not affiliate commissions.

Award travel deals

Transfer bonuses, sweet spots, and mistake fares — curated by someone who's actually booked them.

Straight talk

If a card isn't worth the annual fee, we'll say so. No gatekeeping. No email-gated "exclusive" content. Just clarity.

Why this exists

Most travel rewards content is written for people who already know everything — or paid for by the companies being recommended.

Rewardist is for everyone else. The person who knows they're leaving money on the table but doesn't have 10 hours to figure out the system. The one who wants to travel more but thinks points are too complicated.

They're not. You just need someone to cut through the noise.

That's what we do. Every week. In about 5 minutes.
