Does the amount of credit card offers out there make your head spin? We have been there too! When you first start the process of Travel Hacking, it can feel a little overwhelming, and you can start to question what cards work best for you.  In this episode, we go through our top cards and what makes them our favorites. There are a lot of great credit cards out there that can help you travel for nearly free. However, just because some cards work for us, doesn’t mean they will work for you.  Every Travel Hacking journey is as unique as the traveler themselves! We encourage you to get clear about your travel goals, where you want or need to go, when you want to go, and who is coming along for the ride.  You’ll be amazed how a little intentional planning and goal-setting can make your card selection a breeze! Even though we all have different situations, there are a few rules we follow and standards a card needs to have before it makes the cut and lands in our wallets.  Hit play to learn our card criteria, when and why we are willing to pay an annual fee, what makes a card our favorite, plus more. If you have ever wondered about the benefits of having different cards for hotels, business, and airlines, we will explain the difference and how to leverage all three! We will also let you in on the perks and incentives that our favorite cards have to offer such as discounts at our favorite stores, exclusive access to travel lounges around the country, TSA pre-check, and bonus luggage for the whole family, just to name a few.  To learn more about the cards we mentioned today, connect with us for questions or to receive a Free Credit Card Consultation, follow the links below!  More Of What’s Inside: A look into our luxury Airport lounge access Why we love The Chase Sapphire Preferred card Our favorite airline cards and why The difference between the United Quest and the Explorer What you need to know about The American Express Gold Card Cards that give us the most points How some cards benefits outway the annual fees One card most people don’t use for Travel Hacking And much more!
