Fly Smart, Spend Smarter - Budget your next trip with credit card points


Listen Later

It's summer, and you know what that means: travel plans are heating up… and so are the ridiculous flight prices and hotel markups.

In this episode Ann is breaking down how to use credit cards to travel smarter, not harder. We get into how points actually work, which cards are worth signing up for, and why credit cards aren’t necessarily the evil our parents warned us about. No fluff, no financial jargon – just the stuff we wish someone had told us before we blew money on bad exchange rates.

Credit cards: 

  • Amex Cobalt:  you get 15,000 Membership rewards - 1,250 MR per month if you spend $750 per month for 12 months
  • TD Aeroplan Infinite Card: Sign up and get up to $1,300 in value
  • WISE Card: get ZERO fees on a transfer up to $800
  • Chexy: Sign up and get $15. You can pay rent, bills and taxes on your credit card through Chexy. You can link your Aeroplan membership to Chexy as well.
