Inspired Budget

My FAVORITE credit card for travel hacking just increased their sign on bonus and you better believe I had my husband sign up for it! So today, I'm answering ALL your questions about travel hacking do's & don'ts. 

This is the same card that allowed us to:

1. Fly free to Canada (round trip) for a family of 4
2. Pay for a 5-day car rental on vacation
3. Pay for our hotel stay in downtown Vancouver
4.  Book our flights home from Hawaii (for 4 people) this summer

It's the perfect credit card for anyone who wants to try out travel hacking!
