  • I don't know what credit card to apply for, can you help me choose?
    Certainly! Choosing a travel hacking credit card depends on your specific travel preferences, spending habits, and financial goals. If you would like assistance in choosing your first or maybe next card send me a message. If you could include what cards you currently have, how many points/miles you currently have with each card and/or travel partner along with your upcoming travel goals. I would be happy to advise you on your next credit card move.
  • Can you help me plan my next trip using my points and miles?
    I absolutely can help you plan a trip using your points and miles! We will work together using the following steps to help us make the most of your travel rewards: Assess Your Points and Miles Balance: Review the points and miles you have across different loyalty programs. We will take note of the expiration dates and any specific rules for redeeming them. Define Your Travel Goals: Determine your destination, travel dates, and preferred class of service (economy, business, first class). Having a clear goal will help us narrow down your options. Research Award Charts and Partners: I will check the award charts of the loyalty programs you have points with. Identify partner airlines and hotels to maximize your options. Search for Availability: I will use the airline or hotel's website, or a flexible travel search engine, to check for award seat or room availability. Some programs also have online tools that show available redemption options. Book Flights and Accommodations: Once I find suitable options, I will send you the information you need to book your flights and accommodations. You will want to pay attention to any additional fees, taxes, or surcharges associated with the redemption. Consider Cash + Points Options: Some loyalty programs offer a cash + points option, allowing you to partially pay with money and partially with points. This can be useful if you don't have enough points for the entire trip. This is an option that we can discuss if needed during the planning process. Check for Promotions and Specials: My job is to keep an eye out for promotions or limited-time offers that could enhance your travel experience or provide additional value for your points. I will be sure to pass this offers along to you if they apply to the trip that we are working on planning. Review Travel Policies and Restrictions: It will be up to you to understand the cancellation policies, change fees, and any other restrictions associated with your bookings. Be aware of the terms and conditions to avoid unexpected surprises. Pricing for this service: A non-refundable fee of $50 is required to commence the search. In the event that we are unable to locate flights meeting your specified search criteria, no further charges will be applicable. Round Trip Search: $125/per passenger If you decide to proceed with a reservation, the $50 deposit will be credited toward your total invoice. How it works: Submit a non-refundable deposit of $50. I will send you a questionnaire where you will detail your trip goals and available points. Following this, I will email you a list of flight and hotel options for your selection. Upon choosing an itinerary and making the remaining payment, I will provide you with step-by-step instructions on how to proceed with the booking process. Remember that flexibility is key when using points and miles, as availability may vary. By carefully planning and utilizing your rewards strategically, you can create a memorable travel experience at a fraction of the cost.
  • What about my credit score?
    Effectively managing your credit while engaging in travel hacking can have positive impacts on your creditworthiness. Here are a few reasons why your credit score might have go up once you start travel hacking: Timely Payments: If you've been responsible in making on-time payments for your credit card bills, it can positively influence your payment history, which is a significant factor in determining your credit score. Low Credit Utilization: Maintaining a low credit card balance in relation to your credit limit can contribute to a higher credit score. If you've been using your credit responsibly and keeping your balances low, it reflects positively on your credit utilization ratio Increased Credit Limit: If you've successfully managed your credit accounts, credit card issuers may reward you with increased credit limits. A higher credit limit can improve your credit utilization ratio, which, in turn, positively affects your credit score. Positive Account Activity: Earning and redeeming travel rewards responsibly can contribute to positive account activity. This includes activities such as redeeming points for travel, which can demonstrate responsible credit use. Remember that maintaining a good credit score involves consistent financial responsibility. If you continue to manage your credit accounts wisely, your credit score is likely to remain positive or even improve further over time. Keep monitoring your credit report regularly and stay informed about factors that can impact your credit score.
  • What is an FAQ section?
    An FAQ section can be used to quickly answer common questions about you or your business, such as “Where do you ship to?”, “What are your opening hours?” or “How can I book a service?” It’s a great way to help people navigate your site and can even boost your site’s SEO.
