Think booking through your credit card travel portal is always a mistake? Not so fast.
Last week, I shared five reasons why you'll want to avoid making travel bookings through your credit card portal. But that's not the whole story. There are also situations where using your card's travel portal can be the smarter move.
In this episode, I'm breaking down the five most compelling reasons to consider booking flights, hotels, or car rentals through your credit card's portal — from points-earning opportunities to unlocking annual credits and even finding better award pricing than transfer partners. I'll share the key tradeoffs, what this means for real-world bookings, and my own approach to when portal bookings actually make sense in my travel strategy.
