FREE TRAVEL
Heyyyy Cousins,
Ever wondered how to #travel for free (or at least super cheap)? 💳✈️ Let me put you on to my credit card rewards strategy! This is how I’ve been turning everyday spending into unforgettable family vacations. Here’s a quick guide to get you started:
💼 Basic Travel Rewards Tips
✔️ Apply for cards that reward YOU. Look for ones offering cashback, travel miles, or points. Some cards give 5x rewards on things like groceries, gas, or dining.
✔️ Shift your recurring expenses. Put your Netflix, groceries, phone bill, and other monthly expenses on your rewards cards. You’re spending the money anyway—why not earn miles or points for it?
✈️ Airline Credit Cards
If you’re loyal to a specific airline (or just fly from a hub they dominate), consider their branded card. Benefits often include:
💎 Free first-class upgrades & lounge access
👜 Free checked bags + priority boarding
🏨 Hotel Credit Cards
Loyal to a hotel chain? Grab their card! You’ll rack up free stays, complimentary upgrades, and sometimes even elite status perks (hello, late checkouts!).
💳 General Travel Cards
Not sure where to start? Check out the Amex Platinum, Chase Sapphire, or Capital One Venture cards. These cards are amazing for flexibility and benefits. Here’s what to look for:
1️⃣ Big Signing Bonus. Always go for a card offering 50,000+ miles/points for signing up.
2️⃣ Everyday Rewards. Your card should reward ALL purchases, not just travel. Bonus points for dining, groceries, or shopping are a must.
3️⃣ Travel Perks. Look for credits for Global Entry, TSA PreCheck, Uber, Lyft, or even food delivery apps like DoorDash.
💡 Pro Tip: Combine your travel and hotel cards for double rewards! Book your flight with an airline card, then use your hotel card for lodging.
