If that’s the case, you aren’t alone. While most of our favorite cards come with more than enough valuable benefits to justify their annual fees, sometimes you just need to keep your costs lower. When I first got into the points and miles game, I was a penny-pinching first-year teacher. I got into credit card rewards because I couldn’t afford to travel without them, so my focus was on limiting my out-of-pocket costs as much as possible. Getting [more than $1,500 of value]( from a credit card didn’t interest me if it also meant shelling out $695 that I needed to spend on groceries and pencils for my classroom. I mastered the art of creating a card strategy without paying many annual fees.
