Which Credit Card Should We Get?
Points and Miles have allowed us to travel in a way we couldn’t do on our own. Many of these points have been earned through credit cards. Our travel plans have been put on hold during the last year, so we’ve pivoted to earning cash back for our credit card spending. We’re looking to sign up for a new cash back credit card and we’ve narrowed it down to two options. Card Number #1 – This card earns a sign-up bonus of 40,000 points for spending $3000 in the first 90 days. The 40,000 points can be cashed in for […]

Points, Miles and the Waldorf Astoria Versailles, France
Our upcoming trip to Europe will include a stay at the Waldorf Astoria Versailles – Trianon Palace. The hotel is located right next to the Palace of Versailles, about a 30-minute train ride to the west of Paris. In order to minimize our out of pocket expenses, we are looking to maximize points and miles on our journey. Mixing Points and Miles into the Equation Travel has been limited over the past year and a half.

As we found out, the Hyatt Zilara offers a Covid-19 nose swab test free of charge for their guests. The test meets the requirement for re-entry into the […]

Frequent Miler Goes the Extra Mile
Our respect for the team at Frequent Miler just went up. A Quick Background In the points and miles space, it’s not unusual for blogs to make money from readers who apply for credit cards using links on their website. When the reader is approved for the card, the blog/blogger receives compensation. In light of this, it would make sense for bloggers to post credit card links that directed the money into their pockets. In some cases, the links posted, benefit the blogger, but are not for the best available credit card offers. Readers Come First Philosophy Frequent Miler has a […]
