Synopsis: In this fortnightly podcast series on Mondays, The Business Times breaks down actionable financial tips.

We speak with Mark Cheng, media sales lead at financial comparison site MoneySmart.sg, who shares his insights with us:

1. What are some of the basic things you need to consider? (0:31)

2. Things to take note of when redeeming air miles/points (5:07)

3. What if my spending is not consistent enough to maximise the benefits? (6:19)

Produced by: Chris Lim and Lee Kim Siang

Edited by: Adam Azlee
