How to Earn Credit Card Points for Free Travel


So you have your wallet set up, you’ve got your main and supporting player cards, and you’ve mastered the basic travel hack lingo - now what? Today we break down four main ways to maximize your point earning potential and get one step closer to free travel.

If you aren’t sure where to start with travel credit cards- check this out first


I’m not going to lie to you- a lot of travel hackers get the crazy redemptions and amass huge point stacks by what’s called, card churning. That is- getting a bonus from a card, holding it for a year, closing it and reopening it 48 months later (or however long you have to wait to get the bonus again). BUT there are ways you get many points, without churning or with churning only a card or two instead of your full wallet. 


What else we cover in today’s episode 

-How to earn the most credit card points on everyday spend

-Free apps that help you track your credit card multipliers 

-How I accidentally earned points by going out to eat

-What to be careful about when earning credit card points


Make sure to go back and listen to all the episodes on travel hacking during our summer school season!
