One way we save money during our travels is by staying in cheaper hotels, hostels and Airbnbs. (Sign up for Airbnb using my referral link to earn a $40 credit towards your first stay. I’ll earn a $20 Airbnb credit after you complete your stay.)

Another way we travel is by utilizing the benefits of credit card sign- up bonuses. Continue reading Miles & Points Earned from Credit Card Bonuses in 2017 →

Over the summer I received a very nice bonus offer from my Wyndham credit card. With the offer I could earn 10,000 bonus points.
