Nothing quite gets you in the holiday spirit like a trip to NYC. 🗽

🎄Our recent trip to NYC was one for the books. From ice skating to checking out movie scenes in Central Park to eating at the most incredible restaurants… this will forever be one of my favorite holiday trips!

👉🏼 Comment “Magical”
and I’ll send you the link to my post detailing everything we did in NYC, where we ate & stayed and my tips for a magical holiday visit!

🫶Be sure to SHARE with your friends headed to NYC this winter!

Make sure you are earning LOTS of points on those Disney vacations!

Disney vacations can be annoyingly expensive.
That’s why I am super strategic about how I pay for these vacations!

Let’s say you are spending $2,000 on a Disney Park vacation or a Disney Cruise vacation, booked with Disney.

And you earned 5 – 6x points per dollar on that vacation.
Those points earned would be enough for 2 nights at a Hyatt, category 1 hotel.

Can you imagine paying $1800 a night for a hotel room?
Nope! Me either!

I have a fancy hotel addiction. And this stay at the Park Hyatt New York was super swanky!

But luckily, I also know how to stay at luxury hotels for $0.

The absolute, 100% key is earning flexible credit card points.

And it is SO easy to do this if you just do this one thing…

➡️ Let me give show you a small example.
I was speaking with a good friend recently. She was asking about how to get free stays using credit card points.

BUT then she told me, they put ALL of their spend on ONE card… and it’s an airline card! 😳
And the thing is… she isn’t alone! I’ve had at least 5 friends tell me this!
And they are putting SIGNIFICANT spend on this card.

The issue here is, if you are putting everything on an airline card… HOW do you use that for hotel stays? YOU DON’T.

So, here’s a better way… if you are just starting to use credit card points, and don’t want to juggle a million cards, the BEST thing you can do is use a card that has flexible/transferable points.

My favorite card I always have in my wallet earns points I can transfer to Hyatt OR Southwest OR United Or… many more. So instead of getting locked into 1 program. I have the choice of where and how to use my points when booking travel.

That $1800/night hotel stay? Yep, I transferred points to Hyatt to book it. For TWO nights! What a dream!

Want to start earning flexible points that will give you tons of flexibility and has amazing transfer partners?

👇🏼Want to know something crazy though?

Even though we’ve traveled insane amounts this year, we’ve been able to save more than ever. We’ve also been able to give back more this year! 🎉

How are we traveling more than ever AND saving more than ever?

It’s all because we learned to leverage our every day spend to earn credit card points and miles. Then we use those points to take TONS of vacations!

😳SEVEN FAMILY vacations so far this year! That is crazy!

Visiting Japan as a family – only spending $1200 on hotels and airfare INSTEAD of $35K still amazes me!

And our recent trip to NYC… the hotels and airfare would have cost over $5K!

➡️ Comment GO
And I’ll send you my 29 page guide showing you EXACTLY how you can start leveraging your every day spend, exactly how to earn points, the best points for family hotel stays and more!

The best thing about all of this? It’s rinse & repeat. We’ve already got lots of family vacations planned for 2024! And we won’t be paying tens of thousands of dollars out of pocket for them!

Capital One has done it again! Their lounge at the

Capital One has done it again! Their lounge at the Denver airport is absolutely stunning. But even better, it easily saved my family $150+ with just ONE visit!

✈️Share this with friends who love travel deals!

Capital One now has their own branded airport lounges in Denver (DEN), Dallas (DFW) and Washington, DC (IAD).

My family and I visited the Denver one last week and were wowed by the thoughtfully designed space and all of the amenities provided. Full bar, large dinner and sweets option, flavored sodas, comfortable seating with plenty of charging stations.

One of the best and most surprising benefit of this lounge is the grab and go section. Filled will sandwiches, salads, snack mixes and sparkling water. They even give you a cute little Capital One bag to put it all in.

This is a GAME CHANGER for families about to board a long flight!

How did we have access to this lounge? We have the Capital One Venture X card. This card allows you PLUS 2 guests access to their lounges.

If you don’t live in one of the cities with its own Capital One lounge, the Venture X card also gives you access to Priority Pass lounges and the Plaza Premium lounge network.

And want to know the BEST way to get your entire family into these lounges? If you have the Capital One Venture X card, you can add up to four authorized users for FREE!! So you would add your spouse as an authorized user, then they get access + 2 guests. Now, between the 2 of you, you have access for 6 to the lounge while only paying 1 annual credit card fee!

⭐️⭐️Comment LOUNGE⭐️⭐️
And I’ll send you a link to search Capital One’s partner lounge network to see if there’s one at your airport. I’ll also send you a direct link to the Venture X card so you can apply & start getting airport lounge access for your family asap!

Even though the Capital One Venture X has a $395 annual fee, it comes with a $300 annual travel credit (when booking in the Capital One travel portal), $100 credit for TSA PreCheck/Global Entry, PLUS fantastic lounge access. It is definitely the card you want to have to elevate your airport experience!

What a MAGICAL vacation! NYC was such a perfect way to kick off the holiday season! 🎄

⭐️Comment NYC⭐️

And I’ll send you all the details of how I booked this trip, what points I used, all the fun things we did and of course… the incredible places we ate!

Getting to spend 4 nights in New York City over Thanksgiving break was the perfect family get away. Is there any better way to get in the holiday spirit then spending a night at Radio City Music Hall with the phenomenal Rockettes!!??

We were able to use points for our Southwest flights to and from New York City, plus we used points for all 4 hotel nights! We saved over $5K doing this!

🗽And a quick NYC tip for you…. Sit on the left side (window on left) of the plane for the best city views! You’ll even see Lady Liberty welcoming you to her city!
