To help save money this holiday season, take a look at how many rewards points you’ve accumulated on your credit cards. If you’re not saving them for airline tickets, browse the company’s rewards website to find out what other goods, services and gift cards you may be able to exchange them for.
If you have a substantial accumulation of rewards points that can be used for travel, consider gifting them to friends or family — even using them to help pay for their travel to visit you during the holidays. Check with your specific credit card issuers for instructions on how to redeem or gift rewards points.
