This week’s money news

May 21, 2024 By Liz Weston

This week’s top story: The hidden cost of helping friends earn more credit card rewards. In other news: 6 LGBTQ+ celebrations around the world worth a trip, how to use credit cards to save money on gas, and white house extends key student loan forgiveness deadline.

The Hidden Cost of Helping Friends Earn More Credit Card Rewards
Credit card rewards earned with your spending aren’t taxable, but you could owe taxes when you refer friends to a card and get a bonus.

6 LGBTQ+ Celebrations Around the World Worth a Trip
Celebrate Pride worldwide all year round, and see some sights while you’re at it.

How to Use Credit Cards to Save Money on Gas
The best cards for gas earn at least 3x back at the pump, and they don’t feature names of big oil companies or service station brands.

Act Now: White House Extends Key Student Loan Forgiveness Deadline
You now have until June 30 (instead of April 30) to consolidate certain federal student loans — and potentially get loan forgiveness in September (instead of July).
