Questions
Guides, explained plainly
How do I get started with credit card rewards in Brazil?
Start by understanding your spending habits and choosing a card that rewards your top categories. The card ledger lists every Brazil card we hold, with fees and welcome offers where they are on record, so you can compare before you apply.
What is travel hacking?
Travel hacking is the practice of strategically earning and redeeming credit card points and miles to book travel at a fraction of the retail cost. This includes leveraging welcome bonuses, optimizing category spending, and transferring points to airline and hotel partners for outsized value.
Are these guides free?
Yes, all guides on PointsExplained are completely free. PointsExplained has no affiliate partnerships and earns nothing from card issuers. If that changes, any link that can earn a commission will be disclosed before it goes live. Nothing here is pay-to-rank.
How do I know when a guide was last changed?
Every published guide carries its last-updated date. Card offers and program rules move quickly, so confirm anything time-sensitive with the issuer or program directly before you act on it.
