Why Cashback Is ALWAYS Better Than Points

Hey guys, in this video, I’m putting team cashback and team travel head-to-head with a twist most comparisons skip: what happens when you invest every dollar of cashback instead of spending it? I start with the psychology of cashback vs travel rewards and why this debate gets so tribal. Then, using the same spending profile, I compare an invested cashback setup against a domestic economy traveler at 1.5 cpp and a luxury traveler at 3 cpp to see how compound interest changes the math. From there, I break down the cents-per-point travelers need to keep up with a cashback investor, address the biggest pushback from both sides, and explain why I believe a hybrid credit card setup wins for most people. If you’ve been wondering whether cashback or travel rewards are better, how investing credit card rewards compares to redeeming points, or what the best credit card strategy is, this video is for you.
