Happy Birthday, Traveling Well For Less!

Nothing like a little self-promotion.

Last year I started the Traveling Well For Less blog with the intention of creating a place to write about travel and showcase my freelance travel writing, similar to an online resume.

Well, it didn’t quite work out that way…my published work never made it to the blog.

Instead Traveling Well For Less became a little bit of this, a little bit of that (to steal a line from Michelle Branch’s A Game of Love with Santana), an amalgamation of travel deals, frequent flyer miles and points tricks, contests, and travel tips.

The clear focus I had for this site became blurred.  But in the process it’s allowed me to fill my need to write.  Even if it was just writing about the latest bonus mile offer.

I hope you’ve been enjoying the journey. I promise to start posting more destinations and travel tips.  All in good time.

But how about that tasty looking cake?  While searching for the perfect image to represent Traveling Well For Less’s birthday I found this gorgeous travel themed birthday cake by master sugarcrafter Fiona Brook of No More Tiers.

It’s probably a good thing for my waistline that they are across the pond. Or course, there’s always FedEx…

Traveling Well For Less has partnered with Your Best Credit Cards for our coverage of credit card products. Traveling Well For Less and YBCC may receive a commission from card issuers.


Chase Sapphire Preferred® Card

The Chase Sapphire Preferred® Card is the best card to get started in the world of miles and points. It is the first card you should get to start traveling for free because the welcome offer is 60,000 points after spending $4,000 in the first three months.
 
My favorite perks about this card are earning 5X points on travel when booked through the Chase portal (2X if direct purchase), 3X points on dining, $50 yearly credit on hotels booked through the Chase portal, no foreign transaction fees, and transferring points to 13 airline and hotel partners like Hyatt, United, and Southwest.
 

Chase Freedom Unlimited®

The Chase Freedom Unlimited® is one of my favorite cards for earning cash back card and travel rewards. It offers a welcome offer of an additional 1.5% cash back on all your purchases up to $20,000 your first year.
 
My favorite perks about this card are earning 5% cash back on travel booked through the Chase Travel Portal, 3% cash back at drugstores and restaurants (including delivery and takeout), 1.5% cash back on all other purchases and no annual fee. When paired with cards like the Chase Sapphire Reserve® Card or Ink Business Cash® Credit Card, you can use your points to travel for free.
