Go Somewhere: Volume 9

Friends. I’m writing this at 10pm, exhausted, dealing with an ingrown toenail, and getting my family ready for our first international trip together.

We go to Rome on Saturday. We’re taking our toddler on a 12-hour flight.

And I’M HYPE. I couldn’t be happier - there’s never a good time to go. But you have to go.

You can’t miss out on travel because “It’s just not a good time right now”.

Just go somewhere. You won’t regret it.

▶️ I’m here to help you go places.

Let’s get into the tips for this week!

Friends pay for other friend’s vacations.

No, seriously.

I had a crazy week last week and earned 55k points from referral bonuses.

Referral bonuses are large chunks of points given out by credit card companies when someone is approved for a card using your referral link.

I had two friends get the Capital One card with my link, and one of my subscribers get a Chase card with my link.

It’s a beautiful thing, really.

For the big trip I’ve been planning for sometime in January that I have not yet shared about, these bonuses alone will get us to FL (our starting point), and pay for hotels on both ends of the trip.

If I’m frugal, they might cover a little more.

➡️ Here’s the thing.

If you’re traveling for free, the people around you will also want to.

Don’t be shy about sharing how you’re doing it. But also don’t be annoying.

Most people are scared to sell. Don’t be. You’re benefiting them!

It’s the holiday season, you’re going to see lots of friends and family.

You have the opportunity to earn thousands of dollars in travel from your friends and family. Don’t pass it up!

These cards are the real deal…

You probably hear me talking about the same cards a lot.

You haven’t heard me talk about these.

Both cards have seriously elevated offers.

Hilton Honors Amex Card & Southwest Rapid Rewards Plus Card.

I got these recommendations from the Daily Drop, one of my favorite travel newsletters.

People. There are plenty of great Hilton properties for less than 50k points per night. You could easily do a 4-night stay and covered airfare for a family of 4 on Southwest with these SOBs.

Don’t sleep on Southwest. This airline and this card have a lot to offer.

If you already have the best bank cards and are looking to add something to your wallet before the holiday season, you can’t go wrong with either of these cards.

That’s it for this week. I don’t have a success story to share, unfortunately!

Next week, I’ll be coming to you live from Rome!

Now, for the memes.
