Each week, BusinessDesk and the NZ Herald’s Cooking the Books podcast tackle a different money problem. Today, it’s how to make the most of your credit card, and the different deals at the moment. Hosted by Frances Cook.

For the latest podcast, I talked to Jose George, general manager for Canstar New Zealand.
