I have to say the best thing about credit cards in the U.S. is the massive point bonuses you get for signing up for cards. I have gamed the credit card bonus system for ~6 years and pay for 90%+ of my personal travel including international business and first class flights and high end hotels with points earned from opening multiple cards each year with almost no impact to my credit score (760+). Combined with the fact that points are not taxable it is probably the single most lucrative “side hustle” I have that requires almost no work.
