Beyond Free Flights
There is a thing known as Travel hacking, do you do it? It’s not illegal or a bad thing, it’s simply learning how to take full advantage of your frequent flyer and credit card programs.
I’ve been doing it for years and we almost always fly to Kenya for free! Not to mention all the free hotel stays.
It’s much too long to get into full details of all the programs here (but if people are interested maybe I do a little class about it? Let me know…)
Here is the short lowdown on how to use them on a Nunu’s safari –
1. Gather all your credit cards and frequent flyer programs and see where you are now, if you have AMEX, Capital One Venture, Chase Sapphire or Ink or many others, you may already have benes you didn’t know about (like free TSA PreCheck or Lounge access)
2. Focus on just 1 or 2 programs at a time and put everything on the card, paying it off every month – I’m not trying to get anyone to go into debt for this. When you open a new card they typically have a sign-up bonus, that is often more than enough for airfare!
3. Pay for your safari with the credit card- at once or in monthly payments, then, during the next billing cycle, they may offer points for the purchase that you can cash out or pay against your bill.
Of course you need to look at the specifics of each card, there are many websites and groups that will help you with it.
My goal is simply to let you know it’s possible that you can go on your dream trip!
