Best way to travel for FREE or next to NOTHING

in #travel8 years ago

Have you ever wondered how to travel for free?

It is not as hard as you think. Thousands of people are doing it every day.  The best way is to sign up for credit cards that give you rewards. 

  Join sites like Credit Karma or Credit Sesame to get a feel of what your credit score look likes. From there you will be able to gauge your credit worthiness before attempting to apply for certain cards. The best thing about sites like the ones listed they give you an estimate approval score which is pretty accurate on whether you would be approved. Once on the site and know your credit score search for the best card that you are able to obtain. Make sure the cards are offering good mileage return and a sign on bonus. For example apply for JetBlue Barclaycard that will give you 30,000 miles if you spend $1000 within three months. Those 30,000 miles can be redeemed for a JetBlue plane ticket. The only cost you are responsible for are the taxes which is very cheap. Companies like Chase, Bank of America, American Express, and Citibank all have relationships with airlines which means that you will get bonuses to use towards travel when you use the particular card. Be sure to pay back in a timely manner any card that you use to generate the minimum spending. Reason being is if you carry a balance over all you do is negate your efforts because it was interest paid out your pocket and my equal out the price of the plane ticket. The best part is you can also redeem points for hotel stays as well. Big chain hotels offer their own reward programs that are redeemable for night stays. This information is also present on the websites as well. 

In the last 6 months I have been able to travel to different countries for free or next to nothing all on points. The greatest part is people get jealous with all your travels because they don’t know how you’re doing. All they see is pictures of you in new exotic places. Give it a try and, below to tell me how it worked out or if you have any questions.
