Episode Summary
Disney vacations are expensive, but points and miles can make a huge difference. In this episode, we explain how travel rewards programs work and how you can use them to earn free or heavily discounted travel through everyday spending.
We cover the different types of travel rewards credit cards, including those that offer transferable points, airline miles, and hotel rewards. You’ll also learn why sign-up bonuses are key to building your balance quickly and how to use those points for flights, hotels, and even park tickets.
One of the biggest challenges is using points to cover Disney park tickets. We share a little-known trick that can make this possible by purchasing tickets from select third-party sellers that code as travel expenses. This lets you use your points to pay for tickets, which most people don’t realize is even an option.
If you want to visit Disney for less and start using points and miles with confidence, this episode is a great place to begin.
