The best things in life are free...

We all want something for free right?

I know I carry around points cards to about 30 different places.

I also have a credit card that gives me points on every purchase I make.

Groceries, cosmetics, gas, every once in awhile you end up with a little extra from the places you regularly shop at.

It's like a mini shopping spree!

So, why not apply this to your wedding planning?

If you have saved 60% or more of your wedding budget, why not get a consumer credit card that gives you points towards vacations, furniture, a home renovation store etc.?

You can even get a points card that you can use towards RRSP's, RESP's or even your mortgage!

If you are budget conscience and have a good portion of the wedding saved for, then this is a great opportunity to add to your new life together!

Just make sure you pay your balance every month and close the card once you have collected/used the points you acquire!

So, whether it's a new couch or a few hundred dollars towards your retirement, or tickets to that tropical honeymoon you've been dreaming of, reward cards are a great consideration to work into your planning.

Happy Spending!
