What questions do you have about making the best use of loyalty reward programs: If you've made travel plans for March break, you may have cashed out your loyalty points to help pay for flights and hotels. Reward programs can mean some pretty sweet deals for those who know how to play the game. But for some of us, those cards aren't doing much more than cluttering our wallets. This Saturday on Just Asking, personal finance expert Barry Choi joins host Saroja Coelho to answer your questions about making the best use of loyalty reward programs. Choi is the founder of MoneyWeHave.com, a finance and travel blog. Call us at 1-888-416-8333 with your questions. You can also join the conversation online at cbc.ca/myquestion.  

What questions do you have about your relationship to reality television: The Love Is Blind finale is behind us, and fans of the show are now eagerly awaiting this season's reunion episode. Last year, so many people tuned into the live reunion that it broke the Netflix stream. What is it about reality television that keeps us wanting more? Why do we "hate-watch" some of it? And do you wonder why you're tempted to lie about just how much reality TV you're watching? This week on Just Asking, we're answering your questions about reality TV and our relationship to it.
