A card from Fair Play by Eve Rodsky
Points, Miles & Coupons
Do you know if you have enough airline miles to fly free on your next trip? And also bring your partner along for the ride? This cardholder keeps track of miles, credit card points, coupons, and all those big money savers. Thoughtful CPE of this card is a must—getting that awesome “buy one, get three free” deal only happens when you have your coupon stash organized and in hand at the checkout line.
Holding this card means owning all three
Conception
Your family has airline miles and coupons
Planning
- Researching loyalty programs and credit cards
- Sourcing coupons (online/subscription, store flyers, local newspapers, apps, in mail)
Execution
- Creating electronic and/or in-home filing system to manage coupons
Suggested Minimum Standard of Care
Can you use your miles, points, or coupons because you have the accounts handy and before they expire?
A starting point. You and your partner agree the real standard together, and the holder meets it without reminders.
Holding it well
- The holder owns all of it: noticing, planning and doing. No “just tell me what to do.”
- Agree the Minimum Standard of Care together, then let the holder meet it their way.
- Not working? Bring it to the weekly check-in and re-deal it. Don’t take it back mid-week.
