Mackenzie from @travelhacksmack prioritizes travel as much as possible while working her 9-5 as an Explosives Engineer. She uses points, miles, credit cards, and other strategies to save money while traveling, whether experiencing a new country, visiting friends or family, or volunteering. In the past year, she's spent $691 on $5,037 worth of economy flights. She loves to create detailed, instructional, and sometimes silly content teaching others how to do the same, regardless of budget, by maximizing point earning opportunities and taking advantage of transfer partners.
One of the keys to being able to book last minute is flexibility, and having cards that earn flexible points definitely helps with that. The Chase Sapphire Preferred’s Ultimate Rewards points transfer to more than a dozen different partners, and it’s the most popular card for people looking to get started with points and miles.
Remember, if you decide to apply for the Chase Sapphire Preferred or any other card, never apply directly through Google – always use a friend or creator’s referral link.
