Your next best travel strategy

Happy first weekend of JUNE 🤯

The older I get, the more I realize how much I sound like my mom when I say things like, “Gee, time sure does fly.” And then I gripe about how my back aches… because I’m a 30-something senior citizen. 🫠

But anyway, just as time is fleeting, so are the travel deals from this past week — so let’s get to talkin’!

🔢 We launched a new Cents Per Point Calculator this week that will determine the value you’re getting for an award redemption!

👀 Remember this Bilt Rent Day is good for both June 1 AND 2: Get up to a 200% transfer bonus to Accor Live Limitless.

🎥 I love Scandinavia, but it’s expensive! This week’s YouTube video shows us how to travel there with miles and points.

🏆 Our Favorite Pick: This should be your next credit card strategy

I know many of you recently applied for our most popular card, which just offered a mind-blowing 100k-points.

So maybe you’ve spent the last month or so hitting that spending requirement — perhaps you’ve already redeemed a chunk of points for your next trip.

So… now what?

You move on to your next credit card strategy, like the miles and points meister that you are 😎

If I were you and I had just gotten our favorite travel card, I’d consider this no-annual-fee cash-back card. They make a killer combo — a true match made in credit card heaven, really.

And what happens when that cash-back card is paired with our OG favorite? Well, it’s then able to earn UR points, too. 💪

I particularly love this dynamic duo because of their different spending categories — this allows you to maximize the points you earn:

• This card earns 2x points per dollar on travel

• It’s cash-back buddy earns 3% (or 3x UR points) per dollar on dining and drugstores

• And even better, that cash-back card also earns 1.5% (or 1.5x points) per dollar on everything else… 😮

So between these two cards, you will never earn just one measly point per dollar on anything… and that is a HUGE win.

So if you’ve been stumped about what to do next, now that you have the best travel card out there, going for its younger sibling is a no-brainer.
