Knowing which credit card to swipe when making a purchase is key to maximising the points and miles earned for award travel. If you hold an array of rewards cards in your wallet, the decision is complicated by each card’s earn rate and bonus categories, and whether the rewards earned are fixed-value points, some form of cash back, airline-specific miles, or flexible points that transfer to travel partners.

In "news you might've overlooked," Capital One recently announced one card moving from Visa to Mastercard and another moving from Mastercard to Visa. Mostly, that news doesn't matter for the average person.
