🟩 Welcome to the "Retirement Red Zone" of 2026. If you have checked your credit card statements recently, you have likely noticed a disturbing trend: the banks are quietly "nuking" your rewards. The golden era of swiping for easy miles on insurance premiums, property taxes, and medical bills is officially dead. For retirees and investors over 50, this isn't just an annoyance; it is a massive leak in your lifestyle portfolio that is costing you thousands in lost travel value while inflation eats away at your cash.
In this episode, we are conducting a full 2026 Retiree Mile Audit. We are moving beyond the simple "swipe and hope" strategy to deploy institutional-grade arbitrage tactics. I will break down exactly how to bypass the new "MCC Nukes" using specific tools like CardUp and Citi PayAll. We will also audit the "Comfort Hierarchy" to see which cards—like the HSBC Visa Infinite or UOB Lady’s Solitaire—are still worth the annual fees in this new devaluation regime, and which "fallen soldiers" need to be cut from your wallet immediately.
