On today's show, a trick for getting great value with Delta Miles has returned.

Sadly, a trick for Flying Emirates first class with Miles has departed.

And we have too many credit cards.

So we'll discuss how we're thinking about which ones to keep and which ones to cancel.

Frequent Miller on the air starts now.

Today's main event, discarding our card collections.

Nick and I over time have signed up for lots of credit cards, and

when it comes time for the second year annual fee to come due, we tend to look at the card

benefits and say, you know what, the benefits just barely outweigh the annual fee, so I guess I'll keep it another year.

And that's fine, one by one, but as the cards accumulate and accumulate and accumulate,

it becomes a problem, and that's where we're at. And we're both at the same point, I think,

of like looking at our card collections and saying,

what can we do to trim them way, way back? And that's what we'll discuss in today's main event. Yeah, you know, it's funny. I was just, it was at the, the Hyatt Regency Grand Cyprus recently. I ran into a reader named Lenny. Hi, Lenny, if you're out there listening to the podcast. And he was talking to me about cards and how many he has and how his wife thought he was crazy. But then, you know, when we talked about how many we all had on and ask us anything, he was like, look, see, see, they have more. And that's not what I want, Lenny, for the record. I don't want to encourage you to have more cards than what you should have for you. So this is important and an important episode, and I look forward to talking about it. Remember, if you want to jump forward to that, where you want to come back to something else later on, you can always find the timestamps in the show notes. So just expand the show description box to find that wherever you're watching or listening. Don't forget to like this. Give us a review. Leave us some stars, all those things. We appreciate that wherever it is you're watching or listening. All right. Let's drag out this week's giant mail bag. All right. Today's giant mail comes from G.H. G.H. wrote in with some tips from a trip to South America that they took. And I just want to pull out one specific thing that G.H. wrote about. JetSmart flights.

So in Argentina, G.H. took a domestic flight and said, I used advantage miles to book JetSmart.

This is a new feature that JetSmart only brought online mid year of last year.

The pricing is dynamic, but if you pay attention, there's value to be had.

To redeem AA Miles, simply log into JetSmart website using your American Airlines credentials,

and then you can redeem your miles. It's not possible to do it via the American

Airlines site. Very interesting. That's a great little tip to have in mind. I did not realize,

or I guess I had forgotten. I sort of remember hearing about this whole partnership at some point,
