If someone put out a credit card offer for 40K bonus points for $175 I wouldn't give it the time of day. Therefore I think it's a very poor…

5 churns in a year may not impact your credit score a huge amount but in itself will be a red flag to the credit providers. I do 2-3 a year…

Given the 2016 SE doesn’t even receive updates any more I highly doubt these are still being sold by major retailers.
