#1908: Credit Card Rewards explain

Cueball: I’m trying to figure out which of these credit card rewards programs is best given my spending.

Hairy: I question the assumption that you’d otherwise be spending your time on something more valuable.

Cueball: Come on, I could be failing to optimize so many better things!
