I believe you got the name wrong. It's not called Deans Deals. It called Dave Ramsey.  They both start with a "D" but they're not at all alike. Dave Ramsey has the best deals for you.

A word of warning:
It’s important to note that the credit card points system is subsidized by the millions of Americans who fall into the trap of debt, buying things they can’t afford, and paying huge amounts of interest to the banks.

If you’re susceptible to that behavior, then don’t start in the first place. Pay for things in cash and be happy not being in debt. Any gain from the points system will be obliterated by interest payments.

You remind me of two people I tried to help. Both have good businesses, both were paying high interest rates, and both had multiple OVERDRAFT PAID fees every month on their bank accounts.

One of them was stubborn and wouldn't follow any of my suggestion (one of them was to temporarily default on his mortgage) and I believe remained in his same financial situation.

The other, who seems to know how to run his business, but lacked some financial literacy (not basics, but more slightly more advanced balance sheet and inventory management). He followed many of my suggestions, changed a few things in the way his business operates, and ended up savings many thousands of dollars per year.
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

Please explain.

Going back to Making Home Affordable days. He applied for a modification and should have qualified (and if I recall correctly he had a Fannie or Freddie owned loan with an interest rate from the time he purchased, probably north of 8%), but was declined because he wasn't delinquent and "lack of financial hardship" (never mind that his housing expense was more than 50% of his gross income.

I suggested going 90 days past due and reapplying, which is a strategy that worked for others, but he wouldn't hear of it.

A HAMP modification would have slashed his housing expense by at least 50%.

I hear this a lot but is it true?
Only on DDF does 24/6 mean 24/5/half/half

Got it. Thanks!
