As the month of love unfolds, chocolates and romantic gestures take centre stage, especially as this year’s Valentine’s Day falls on a Saturday. After the One Hundred and Eighty-Five Days (185 days) of January, February is a great time to talk about something else that's often associated with love – spending!

For obvious reasons, the lure of staycations, romantic dinners, gifts, flowers etc. is heightened in this month and credit cards are having a moment. Whether you're planning a romantic getaway, booking a cozy dinner, or simply treating yourself to some well-deserved self-love, credit cards offer a convenient and rewarding way to pay.
