Question

George receives a great money-saving credit card offer in the mail, complete with a rewards program. He reads on to find that the one dollar for every mile spent may not be such a great offer after all because he only receives a $500 airline ticket after he acquires 25,000 miles or spends $25,000. This is a _____ schedule.

Answer 1

Fixed-ratio schedule

Explanation:

A fixed-ratio schedule is a schedule of reinforcement where the reward will be given only after a previously specified amount of responses.

In this case, George will only receive the $500 airline ticket (reward) after he spends a fixed amount of $25,000 or 25,000 miles.
