Résumé
Earning 2% cash back or flying first-class on accumulated miles feels like a clever financial hack. We are conditioned to view these premium credit card rewards as free perks provided by generous banks. But the math of the financial system dictates that nothing is free; someone is always paying for your luxury flight.
The Rewards Mirage exposes the staggering, invisible wealth transfer embedded in modern consumer finance.
Banks fund these lavish rewards by charging merchants exorbitant swipe fees. To survive, merchants raise the prices of all their goods. Consequently, low-income customers paying with cash or debit cards are forced to pay inflated prices, effectively subsidizing the luxury vacations and cash bonuses of affluent credit card users. This book dissects the predatory architecture of the credit card loyalty industry.
It explains how banks use gamification and status symbols to keep consumers hooked on spending, while quietly taxing the economy from the shadows. Look behind the curtain of your cash back. Understand the deeply regressive economics of credit card rewards, and learn how the illusion of "free money" is actually driving systemic financial inequality.
