Maximizing Your Credit Card Rewards for Free Travel
Scott and Nena discuss credit cards and how you can maximize your rewards. Scott shares his strategies for getting free travel, lounge access, and hotel upgrades. He advises you to look beyond your bank’s standard card and use different cards for different spending categories like groceries, gas, or dining to earn more – aim for at least 2% back on your everyday purchases. For groceries, Scott suggests a card like the Amex Blue Cash Preferred for 6% back. If you travel often, the Amex Platinum offers benefits like lounge access and travel credits that can offset its annual fee; the Venture X is a good lower-fee travel alternative.
Nena talks about using her Amex Platinum and getting free hotel nights with a Marriott Bonvoy card. Scott and Nena also cover timing your new card applications to hit sign-up bonuses, the value of status matching between loyalty programs, and using services like Amex concierge. Scott encourages you to choose cards strategically and offers to answer your questions.
