#103 Are travel credit cards a good idea?

In this session of the Everyday Bucket List Podcast, Lee Huffman of BaldThoughts.com & The We Travel There Podcast sits down with me again. We chat about his top tips on maximizing travel rewards with credit cards. He suggests starting with a couple of cards offering good bonuses and perks, even with annual fees. Lee, with his extensive experience, advises beginners to focus on a few well-chosen cards. He also suggests using cashback and shopping portals to boost rewards. His strategy proves that smart credit card use can enhance travel without overspending. It can also lead to luxurious experiences that you might not do otherwise.

In this episode, we cover: 

  • Leveraging credit cards for travel rewards (including cards with annual fees versus no annual fee)
