3) Join a Credit Card Reward Program
Credit cards often partner with airlines and hotels, and offer points that can be redeemed later and be used against travel costs. The basic idea is you get rewarded for using your card, so the more you spend, the more reward points you get in return. It’s best to look for programs that reward you anytime you use your account, whether you’re purchasing items, writing credit card checks, or charging travel or accommodation expenses. It’s also important to know if there are any time restrictions on when you can travel. Some programs restrict the windows of time for travel or accommodation, and you might be very limited in terms of when you can go, and for how long. Some programs might offer you additional services, like a complimentary concierge service. These free services might also include bookings for visits to favorite tourist attractions.
