• OK Chase Ultimate Rewards lovers, this post is for you. If you are under the 5/24 rule and have room to add a card, Chase Freedom Flex may be the card for you, especially when you combine Freedom Flex & PayPal Key! First, what is PayPal Key? PayPal Key is a free virtual credit card from PayPal. You can use PayPal Key at any online retailer that accepts credit cards. Linking your Chase Freedom Flex to your PayPal Key account, codes as 5x points/$1 spent through the end of the year. Think Christmas shopping! This is a great way to pack on the Chase Ultimate Reward points by spending the money you already would have online. Benefits of the Chase Freedom Flex card: no annual fees, 0% APR for the first 15 months, and a great strategy card to add Chase Ultimate Reward points to your Chase Sapphire cards. Chase Freedom Flex offers a two-prong sign-up bonus. You earn $200 cash back after you spend $500 in the first three months and 5% back on the first $12,000 spent at grocery stores in the first year. That sounds great, but you know I'm not a cash back girl! I suggest turning that $200 into 20,000 Chase Ultimate Reward points that are worth $400 in the Chase portal when used for travel. And then over the year, earn $600 in rewards another 60,000 Chase Ultimate Reward points. That's 80,000 Chase Ultimate Reward points. To find out more about this card, head over to Hello Sunny Skies credit card offer page. Credit Card Link: https://bit.ly/35FCiC4

  • Real Client Success Story. Not all travel hacking is created equal. Sometimes, it’s not about an entirely FREE trip, but instead significantly less priced travel. The Goal. During our 1:1 Travel Hacking Coaching call, Our client shared her desire to take their family of six to Hawaii, Costa Rica, and Colorado within the next year. At each destination, she desires luxury accommodations. A hefty goal to do this all for free! So, instead…we mapped out the best way to maximize the points she already has, transfer points, combine points, as well as use the points she’ll earn with multiple credit card sign-up bonuses strategically mapped out for her and her husband over the next year. The Savings. She will be able to roughly pay for 75% of her hotel stays on points. And some of the flights on miles, saving thousands. For this family, the savings allow more vacations, more excursions, and more memories made with her family. More tips & tricks. We also shared tips and tricks to maximize her points during our coaching call, which cards in her wallet to tuck away and which cards to cancel. We also discussed status matching. Her current Diamond Hilton Status equals Marriott’s Platinum status. By status matching, she can stay at a Marriott property and enjoy Platinum status perks, like free room upgrades, breakfast, etc. Lastly, we coached her on flexible travel using Marriott’s off-peak point rates. This way, her points will go further, and she’ll stay for free longer. If you want to learn how to travel hack and earn more vacations per year, reach out. We’d love to coach you!

  • We LOVE to max out your credit card points! Our clients are doing a major remodel to the first floor of their home ($50,000). I suggested they add a Chase Ink Business Preferred Card to their 12-month credit card plan. They will need to spend $15K over three months to earn a sign-on bonus of 100,000 points (they will spend this money anyhow). Once the 100,000 points deposit into their account, they will begin purchasing gift cards to Lowes and Home Depot from an office supply store. Why? Because office supply stores like Office Max and Staples code as 5x points/$1 spent vs. the expected 1-3X points/$1 spent. SCORE! Do you or your spouse own a business? Do you have an eBay store, ETSY store, side hustle, etc.? You may qualify for a business credit card. Perk: Business cards do not fall into the Chase 5/24 rule! Once the renovation is complete and all of their Chase Business Ink points deposit, they will combine their Chase Sapphire Preferred points. Another SCORE! The next decision...where will they travel on all of these points?! Book a consult with us or check out our credit card offers page on www.hellosunnyskies.com Link in bio!

  • Travel hacking isn't always a totally "free" vacation. Successful travel hacking can be a portion of a vacation on points/miles. Read about our latest client's success story on the blog. His goal...to take his wife on vacation for her 50th birthday using Delta miles for the flights and Chase Ultimate Reward points toward the hotel. We found his flights on points and 5 of the 7 hotel nights on Chase Reward points. He will pay out of pocket for 2 hotel nights. He's thrilled. Trip value: $6487.00/he'll pay $1274.00. We helped save him $5213.00! We pride ourselves on making your money go further. If you want to book a vacation combining points + cash (credit card), contact us, we'd love to help!

  • Marriott Bonvoy was my very first travel credit card! We opened it with one goal...to go on spring break every year on points! I started counting "spring breaks" as years left before our children go to college. That was six years ago, and now we only have two "spring breaks" left with our son before he's off to college! What if you could take one trip per year on points? The current Marriott Bonvoy offer is too good to pass up! Spend $5K within three months and earn 5 FREE nights at properties 50,000 or less. That is, Marriott Categories 5-6. Search Marriott's website to see if your desired property is 50,000 points or less. Some category 7 properties are only 50,000 points off-peak. If you are interested in the Marriott Bonvoy Boundless Visa, please visit our link in bio under "credit card offers". You'll see my favorite credit cards and my referral link to sign-up. The offer is expected to end soon, so jump on this!
