Episode 228, Oct 14, 2021, 08:18 PM
After a year and a half of not traveling, many people are starting to feel "Revenge Travel," a term describing the need to go BIG or SPLURGE on your next trip. Here are some tips to help you do it right.
First, consider where you want to go. But don’t stress about trying to pack everything in. Vacations are supposed to be relaxing. Just have fun. Next, whether you’re planning to head out in the coming weeks or a year from now, start taking advantage of good deals and make sure you’re saving up your travel points. That’s the best way to save big on travel. Check out what companies are doing to offer protection plans for your trip. With so many changes to travel restrictions, you want to make sure you will be protected.
Right now, Marriott Bonvoy and Chase are offering some cool things. Through November 3rd, new Marriott Bonvoy Boundless® cardmembers can earn 125,000 bonus points + 1 free night (valued up to 50,000 points) after spending $5,000 in the first three months from opening an account. That’s a total point value of up to 175,000.
Marriott Bonvoy Bold® cardmembers can also take advantage of a new sign-up bonus offer and earn 60,000 bonus points after spending $2,000 in the first three months.
Marriott Bonvoy has more than 7,000 properties and 30 brands worldwide, including The Ritz-Carlton, Renaissance, and Marriott Vacation Club. They’ve also added protection benefits for lost luggage and trip delays, as well as an emergency services hotline to help you get back on track if this happens, so that’s another benefit.
