Who doesn’t want FREE TRAVEL?
Seriously stop using your debit card. ( Unless you do not have good spending habits and discipline….if this is you, you should stop reading and probably take a Dave Ramsey course. )
I don’t know how many times I’m at lunch or something with a colleague and they are doing this. OMG it kills me.
Because I have not paid for a plane ticket in YEARS. And we travel for free alot, or at least for a very low cost.
We spent 7 days in Hawaii this year for FREE. Well at least our flights and lodging. Haven’t figured out the free food part yet but working on it….
We have definitely learned over the years how to hack the system and it does take time to research and keep track of things but so worth it!
Currently we have these cards:
Southwest Airlines (we have several for different businesses)
What we love about this one:
Sign on bonus is great
Multiple types of cards you can stack
Companion status (you pick one person to fly for free with you entire year when you qualify)
Tons of sales where you can score flights for next to nothing in point value
