Leisure travel is still a bit out of my budget, but I’ve gotten a lot of points from referring friends to my travel credit card by making a post on Facebook. That feels like a once and done opportunity. Does anyone here have tips on getting large amounts of credit card points to use for travel?

Reckless spending

funny

This is the way

You can apply for new cards with a sign up bonus and earn points pretty quickly.

Hot damn! Goals. Do your cards require you to have them open for a period of time after hitting the sign up bonus? Do most of the cards have annual fees?

Manufactured spend

ROI is pretty poor for all the time you have to spend buying and using gift cards IMO

Question about inclusion….

While I see the point of putting them together for convenience, I don’t agree with this at all! To me this is like singling them out by putting them all together instead of INCLUDED amongst peers. What do y’all think?

Took my little dude to Target so he could buy a Xmas gift for his sibling. While browsing, he lost his $42 he’d been saving up. Same kid found a wallet packed with cash and credit cards at Disney a couple months back, and gave the wallet to the Disney employees —cuz it was the right thing to do. Today he learned that not everyone shares the same values and not to keep cash in a ziploc😞
