Bryce shares that his grandfather, who worked in banking, was skeptical of opening multiple credit cards, believing it was detrimental. Bryce himself harbored anxieties about the points and miles hobby for years, fearing a negative consequence. He found that comparing the hobby to "extreme couponing" helped alleviate these concerns.
“my, my grandfather worked in banking his entire career and he even pulled my side and was like, you know, son, you can't, like, all opening all these credit cards and you know, those are, that's not good for you.”
“The thing that Bryce told me that helped incredibly was, think of this as extreme couponing because I love that show. I love that show on TLC, extreme couponers. And that clicked in my brain.”
