Free Vacation with Kids

We love traveling! We love traveling with our family! But that can get expensive quick! That is why we choose to wisely use credit card points to go on as many vacations for free with our kids as we can! We are currently signed up for the Marriott Bonvoy Card from Chase.

We are aiming to have a fun Getaway at the Gaylord in Dallas. Staying 3 nights for Free with our Family this summer!

Last summer we enjoyed a Free 4 day stay at the Hyatt in San Antonio by using credit card points and sign up bonuses.

Saving Money by Using Credit Cards

A must visit for any family traveling to Denver is the Aquarium! One of our family favorites for sure!

One of the things we love is traveling. We also like spending the least amount of money on travel so that we can travel more. Isn’t that what everyone wants to do? One of the things we’ll feature in our blog posts is some of our travels and how we have been able to travel as cheaply as we can by using points from credit cards.

Today, one of the cards I’d like to highlight is the Capital One Venture Card (Check It Out Here). We have used this card in the past to get 75,000 points after spending $4,000 on it in the first 3 months of opening it. The $4,000 in spending also added another 8,000 points as you get 2 points per dollar spent. So after 3 months we had around 83,000 points ready for us to use.

We used these miles for a quick trip to Denver recently for our family to go to a wedding and have some fun in the mountains. In future blog posts we’ll cover lots of questions we get around using credit cards for points and traveling with your family. Here are some upcoming topics we hope to cover.

  1. How to Travel for Free
    • Teaser: We’ve flown basically for free our whole marriage because of credit card points. (You could too!)
  2. What Credit Cards do we recommend
    • Also what credit cards do we currently use
  3. How to use credit cards wisely
    • Teaser: Don’t get into debt. Pay your card off automatically and on-time

That’s what we have set out to do!

We start work this week! We have all the demo work done. Now it’s time to start framing!

Stay tuned to see some floor plans to be released soon! Until then enjoy a few of these most recent pictures.
