Each week, BusinessDesk and the NZ Herald’s Cooking the Books podcast tackles a different money problem. Today, it’s how to make the most of your credit card and the different deals at the moment. Hosted by Frances Cook.


Credit cards can be a divisive topic

On the one hand, they’re a source of debt that often have high-interest rates and can hold you back. 

But on the other hand, if you use them carefully, you can get rewards and perks for no cost. 

Those rewards and perks can actually vary widely and are often quite different in New Zealand and Australia from the rest of the world. 

For the latest podcast, I talked to Jose George, general manager for Canstar NZ.
