Chase Sapphire Preferred
Reasonable $95 annual fee, no foreign transaction fees, flexible points, this is our daily driver on the road. We earn 3x points on dining and 2x on all other travel purchases, and these points are able to be transferred to hotel and airline partners, or used for cash back.
American Express Platinum
Don’t be shocked by the $895 annual fee. You get $600 in hotel credits, $200 in flight credits, and $300 in streaming credits, in addition to airport lounge access and other credits that are much more easily used in the US. We use this to book all of our flights because it earns 5x points on flights.
Rewards from these cards get us free flights, hotels, and other perks that are extremely useful for travelers. If you have any questions about how any of these work, feel free to send us a message on social media and we can help you out. We’ll be publishing a blog post talking more about our credit card strategy and how we use points in the future.
If you sign up for the credit cards through the links above, we earn a small commission that helps keep our travels going, we really appreciate you using them!
