How I've been traveling for (nearly) FREE since 2023!

These 115 FREE nights + flights have a cash value at just under $36,000! I don't know about you, but I don't have that kind of money to spend on travel. So that's why I love travel hacking! One thing that everyone is worried about is credit score, but mine and Nick's have increased, and I've heard from others that their score has increased, so don't worry about that. If you're interested in getting started, here's how I did it...

I suggest you start with this personal credit card like I did. I love this one because you can transfer to Travel Partners like World of Hyatt and a handful of airlines.

Once you've hit the minimum spend with that personal card, stop using the card and move on to their business cards. This business credit card has an elevated offer right now of 100,000 rewards points! 

Even if you don't own a business, you can still probably get a business card. Have you sold something on Marketplace? Count that as your business! Think of some way you've earned cash, even a side hustle, and use that to your advantage to sign up for some amazing business cards.

Finally, download the Travel Freely app to keep track of your credit cards and points earned and the World of Hyatt app to dream and plan how to spend your points!

Have fun crossing off that Bucket List!
