Meet Alex Tran, a finance student at the University of Waterloo who has a keen interest in maximizing rewards and making the most out of their budget. Growing up in a family that emphasized the importance of financial literacy, Alex has developed a knack for strategic spending and credit card rewards. They often engage in spirited debates about student life and university policies on social media while juggling their studies, part-time work at a financial startup, and a growing passion for travel. With a penchant for artisan coffee and quick bites, Alex is frustrated by the limited payment options at on-campus food services, wishing for greater convenience and acceptance of their beloved Amex cards.
