Cards We Use

Capital One Venture X Rewards Credit Card

This is our primary everyday go-to card! It get’s both of us get into Priority Pass and Plaza Premium Lounges while we travel! It has a high annual fee however the lounge access as well as other benefits this card provides makes the annual fee worth it to us.

Chase Sapphire Preferred® Card

If the Capital One Venture X was not our primary card, this would be it! They have great transfer partners for your points as well! **This card currently has an elevated welcome offer!**

IHG One Rewards Premier Credit Card

We got this card to start earning IHG points as well as get status with IHG. Will try to utilize the free night award (valued at 40,000 points) on our account anniversary each year on a hotel that would cost more than $99/night. When we use our points, we try to redeem them for stays of 4 nights as the 4th night is free when using points.

World of Hyatt Credit Card

We got this card to start earning Hyatt points as well as get status with Hyatt. Will try to utilize the free night award (category 1-4) on our account anniversary each year on a hotel that would cost more than $95/night.

Marriott Bonvoy Boundless® Credit Card

We got this card when the Sign Up Offer was 5 free night certificates for meeting the spend requirement. Will try to utilize the free night award (up to 35,000 points) on our account anniversary each year on a hotel that would cost more than $95/night. Will also have status now with Marriott Bonvoy
