I have not been a newbie in a long, long time so it is hard for me to look at blogs from that perspective.

But I would imagine that were I newbie, I would be reading blogs to become an expert at generating maximum points (churning cards). Not because I only wanted a few more points (earning from cards).

Then again, maybe lots of newbies don't know there there is a difference.
