Thank you for that fabulous disclaimer, Elizabeth.

But at the same time, there are so many other types of credit cards.

Like you can walk into a Gap and they're going to say, hey, do you want this credit card?

I used to work at Gap and had to shield these credit cards and felt guilty every time I did it.

You should.

There are also gas credit cards.

So you can get a credit card from pretty much any company nowadays, it seems.

I like to think of them as debt traps.

Because these companies just want you to be making them money off of the interest that you'd be paying them.

Right, because the cashiers, they probably don't want to be shilling it too, but they're told to.

So just say no and move on with the conversation.

Otherwise, you're going to be filling out a form for who knows how long.

And no one wants to do that when they're checking out at the store.

OK, well, let's focus specifically on airline cards versus other cards, because that's what our listener Liz asked about.

So, Sarah, what are the pros and cons of airline cards?

Yeah, I recently got my first airline specific credit card.

It's the Alaska Atmos card.

I got this in August, I want to say.

It's like you've been holding out on me.

I know.
