Welcome to Points for Normal People!

Today I’m going to cover some of the best and most underrated ways to use Chase Ultimate Rewards points. The exciting news is that there is a lot of flexibility, allowing you to book all kinds of travel options including, flights, hotels, cruises, Disney tickets, or Airbnb.

If trying to get the most cents per point and navigating your way through content that only promotes using your points for luxury travel feels exhausting, you’ve come to the right place. I’m here to show you how to get the most out of your points for what you value.

ACTION STEPS:

  • Offset a big upcoming travel expense by doing one of the following: 
    • See if the Aeroplan card will fit into your card strategy: https://katiestraveltricks.com/aeroplan-pay-yourself-back/
    • Venture X may also be a good option: https://katiestraveltricks.com/venturex/
    • Consider other Venture cards
  • Take some time to set a few goals:
    • How do you want to use your points in the next one to two years?
    • Would offsetting some more of these general travel expenses help you lower your travel line item on your budget and free up money for other things?

Hi, I’m Katie from Katie’s Travel Tricks! I am here to help you learn the secrets that my family has been using for over a decade, using everyday expenses and welcome offers to supercharge your points earning. When you learn to do this, you can cover entire vacations every year.

Our family has been to Hawaii, Asia, the Caribbean, Europe — and more — all thanks to strategically earning and redeeming points. We've done this on a limited travel budget and now want to help you do it, too.
