How to Create Memorable Luxury Travel Experiences Through Points Redemption
Wanting to travel with credit card points but not sure how? Jay Reno joins us this week to dive into how you can utilize your credit card points to create unforgettable travel experiences!
Using points for travel
Your points can probably get you more than you think! Make sure to look at all the possibilities.
Using the travel portal within your bank will usually NOT give you the best deal. Instead, you should use a company like Pointhound to help you transfer your points to airlines or hotels. This method will get you WAY more out of your points. Pointhound is FREE!
Jay recommends using points for FLIGHTS to get the best value out of your money.

Card recommendations
There is a card that is right for everyone! You just need to figure out where your priorities are.
If you spend a lot on groceries and eating out, the Amex Gold card is great! You get 4x the points on food-related purchases.
It’s also nice to have a card for random purchases (Amazon, clothing, etc.) Jay recommends the Capital One Venture card, which gives you 2x points on everything.

Using credit card points can feel very overwhelming at first. However, all you need to do is spend an hour or so looking around your bank app and websites like Pointhound to figure out the basics! Pointhound will help simplify the process of figuring out how to spend your points.
