Summarize the following:
Every card and program will be different, but knowing the kind of travel you wish to redeem your points or miles for will help you decide on a point earning strategy. An international flight will require a different strategy than one that's domestic. It helps to be specific when thinking about this. You'll want to at least know the class you'd like to fly in, preferred airlines, and whether your flight will be domestic or international. It may help to write out exactly the kind of trip you want to spend your points on. This way you have a clear idea of what you want to get from your points or miles. Most programs award you points or miles based on how much you spend. Cards that pay back a percentage of what you spend will allow you to earn points less expensively. When signing up for a card like this, be sure to check that you'll also be earning points or miles. Some cards may only offer a percentage of cash back on your purchases. Cards that allow you to spend points or miles many different places will give you more freedom when it comes time to redeem those points or miles. Additionally, these kinds of cards frequently allow you to transfer points to loyalty programs or other airline programs. Some cards like this offer point or mile bonuses for using your card more frequently. Check the terms and conditions of your credit card to determine if this is the case for you. When selecting your card, think about your daily and weekly expenses. If you choose a point card that offers bonuses for things you buy frequently, like groceries or gas, you can earn points very quickly. Just because a bank representative or creditor has informed you that you can earn points or miles with a card does not mean you've been signed up for a point or mile program. Be sure to inquire with the agent handling your credit card application, saying something to the effect of: "I just want to verify that I'm signed up for the point or mile rewards program. Is there anything else I should know about the card and these points or miles?"

summary: Determine the kind of travel you'll spend points or miles on. Prioritize cash back cards for domestic travel. Select flexible cards for international flights. Choose a card that allows you earn points or miles daily. Remember to sign up for point or mile programs.

Summarize the following:
Transplant aster seedlings outdoors in early to mid spring after the threat of frost has passed. This is true regardless of whether you are working with seedlings started indoors, seedlings bought from a nursery, or plants divided from previously established asters. Asters thrive in sites receiving full sun to partial shade. The soil can be rich or of average quality, but it must be capable of draining well. Avoid planting asters in heavy clay soils since these tend to drain poorly. Planting asters at the top of a slight incline or hill can improve soil drainage, but it is not strictly necessary to do so. Unless the soil is notably rich already, you should mix a little nutrient dense compost into it before transplanting the asters. Use a garden fork or tiller to loosen the top 12 to 15 inches (30 to 38 cm) of soil at the planting site. Add 2 to 4 inches (5 to 10 cm) of compost. Mix this compost into the loosened soil using the garden fork. Each hole should be twice as wide as the diameter of the seedling compartment or pot currently holding the aster plant. The depth of the hole should be roughly the same depth as the current container. Space individual plants 1 to 3 feet (30 to 90 cm) apart. Miniature varieties may only need to be spaced apart 4 to 6 inches (10 to 15 cm). Gently press on the sides of the plastic compartment holding each seedling. Start from the bottom and slowly work your way up. The seedling, its root ball, and the attached soil should ease out of the compartment. If you have difficulty removing the seedling, dampen the soil with water first. Wet soil is more compact and easier to move. If you cannot press on the sides of the container to remove the seedling, tip the container on its side and carefully insert a trowel down one side. Wiggle the trowel around inside the pot until you can glide it out along with the root ball and attached soil. Place each aster plant in the center of its planting hole so that the top of the root ball is even with the surface of the soil around it. Carefully fill in the rest of the hole around the root ball with some of the soil you previously removed from the planting site. Use your hands to gently pat the soil firmly in place. As soon as the seedlings are in the ground, you should water the soil thoroughly to help settle the soil and encourage the plants to establish themselves. There should not be any major puddles on the surface of the soil, but the soil should be visibly damp.
summary: Wait until spring. Select a sunny spot with well-drained soil. Amend the soil. Dig deep holes for each aster plant. Carefully remove the seedling. Place the seedling in a planting hole. Water well.
