How To Use Credit Cards To Fund Your Travel

This post is an example of the content I share every Friday in my Living by Experience Magazine. If you’d like your free copy, just click here.

I go for credit and charge cards that give me travel points for every single dollar I spend on them. When I first learned about this I signed up for every program that’s out there. I gained some points, but nothing really happened – I was a long way away from getting any actual “reward”. Sure, I could get some nice gadgets for my points and miles, but not the actual travel I was after. The key, as with many things in life, lies in focus and dedication. I researched the amount of points or miles required for long haul as well as short haul flights, and selected only a few programs that provided the most value for my points. I’m simply not interested in those programs where I need 50,000 points for a one-way flight just to get across to another city in North America. If I’m lucky enough to get one point for every dollar spent that means I would need to spend 100,000 dollars to get a “free” return flight. I might as well just buy the ticket at that rate – and sometimes that is indeed the best option.

Being Picky

I ended up selecting only two programs to participate in – one that provides me with easy access to short-haul flight to the next city, province or state, but doesn’t score very well on long-haul flights. For the long-haul flights across North America, or even to Europe, I picked another rewards program. In my Travel Revolution class I share in detail how I now fly across North America to New York for about 25,000 points round trip. I can get a return ticket to Hawaii for about 45,000 points.

Since I charge things I have to pay for anyway, like my cellphone bill, to the same card, that amount is not limited to spendable income only – which brings flying for free within reach for pretty much anyone. The question no longer is if I will be able to travel, it’s just a matter of when I’ll get there (and where I’ll decide to go next).
