The Credit Card Reward Points

Imran proudly told everyone he earned twelve thousand reward points on his credit card. He had spent a lakh and forty thousand rupees to earn them. ‘Spending is earning,’ he explained, ‘if you look at it from the right angle.’ His friend asked what the points could buy. Imran checked and found a steel water bottle, a discount on a cinema snack and a tiny torch. He chose the water bottle. It is a very good bottle. His accountant, when told, did not speak for a full minute and then asked whether the bottle came with a refund for common sense.
