Herb Weisbaum: Credit card rewards programs are under scrutiny

16 minutes

Your host, the legendary John Landecker, is joined by Herb Weisbaum, The ConsumerMan, an Emmy-award-winning broadcaster and one of America’s top consumer experts. He’s been protecting us for more than 40 years, having covered the consumer beat for CBS News, NBC News, and The TODAY Show, among others.

He is currently a contributing editor at Checkbook.org, a nonprofit organization that helps consumers get good service at low prices. He also hosts their Consumerpedia podcast.

Together they discuss the various loyalty programs for credit card users to cash in on… or can they? Herb gives us a look at the business model that can hurt consumers more than help them!
