01 Jun Summer Travel is Magic Time
While June 21 is officially the start of summer, travel planning starts now!
Are you feeling exotic, like a jungle adventure in Nicaragua at Maderas Village? Or, perhaps you’re craving the streets of Spain and checking out the new Soho House Barcelona.
We have 5 tips to cut travel costs and take advantage of summer specials:
- Chose a credit card, like American Express Platinum, which allows you to use points for flights. You’ll still get the miles from your airlines and access to premium airport lounges
- Pick a credit card that accrues points for airlines and put every purchase, every, purchase on that card
- Join a hotel rewards program with international locations, like World of Hyatt. Now through June 30, you’ll earn double points
- Save your airline miles for upgrades to business or first class. Travel isn’t so painful, when you’re riding up front
- Join Global Entry. Not only do you get the perk of TSA PreCheck, but gliding through customs makes coming home a bit easier
