Great Overview Of THe Plastic Beast July 19, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I was very impressed with "How you can profit". Arnold seems very well-versed in credit cards and provides a lot of the ins and outs of the multi-billion dollar industry. Arnold goes over everything from why cards target college kids to how granny can be defrauded.
The one criticism I have is that most of the book doesn't tell you how to profit from credit cards as, say Credit Arbitrage does (you can actually have the credit cards make money for you $30~$1000 a month). Mainly it's just a how-to on all aspects of credit card ownership and usage- but highly recommended!
An Excellent Credit Card Book by a top notch industry expert June 24, 2008

I just had the chance to finish this book on my Kindle, and I am very impressed by the depth and richness of content that Mr. Arnold discusses in his book. I had a chance to briefly work with Mr. Arnold when I was at Advanta, and I kept thinking that if he wrote a book on all he knew about the industry, it would be a good one. Now that I have read it, I can tell you that it has exceeded my expectations.
Curtis is a top consumer advocate, so the fact that he actually cares about helping people get out of debt was not surprising. In the first chapter, Curtis talks about how your credit cards is more than just a piece of plastic, and by the fourth and fifth chapter, you get to master concepts such credit card rewards and rebates. There are so many good tips in this book that after you are done with it, you are going to wonder how you have gone without them till now.
My personal favorite section was "Master Advanced Card Techniques To Save and Make Money." I am not going to spoil the book for you here but as it's mentioned in the book, I highly recommend you look at CardRatings.com for more tips and credit card reviews.
I do recommend the Kindle edition if you have the Amazon Kindle device. Not that this book is expensive, but it's more convenient to receive this book in 30 seconds rather than waiting a few days to get it shipped from Amazon.
