Podcast: Profit With Plastic

By Kimberly Palmer

Posted: June 19, 2008

Curtis Arnold, author of How You Can Profit From Credit Cards and founder of CardRatings.com, recently joined me on the Alpha Consumer Podcast to talk about how to make your credit cards work for you. Arnold knows what he's talking about—at one point, he had $45,000 in credit card debt, but he has since learned to be much savvier with his plastic, even using it to cleverly fund his wedding and car purchase. You can also pick up the Alpha Consumer Tip of the Week on setting financial goals. Listen now or download iTunes and RSS.
