Protecting Your Rewards
Many financial institutions that issue “cash back” or “rewards” debit cards and credit cards are in poor financial shape at the moment.
As a precaution you may want to cash in your points now in order to insure that the institutions don’t make a change to the program that greatly diminishes your value. In addition you might want to find another financial institution that isn’t in precarious financial condition with a rewards program to use in the interim until your current institution stabilizes.
The two largest banking institutions that have liberal rewards programs that are in financial trouble are Citi Group and Bank of America.
The largest banking institution that has a liberal rewards program that isn’t in financial trouble is Chase.
