Saying Goodbye

For the last three years, I’ve been blogging here on Traveling Well For Less. Over the past few months, after hours of going over the pros and cons, I’ve come to the realization that it’s time for a change.

But don’t worry. We’re not leaving, just changing our Twitter handle. I’m excited to announce that as of today, we’ll be tweeting with the handle TravelWell4Less.

Table of Contents

Why the Name Change

We’re making the change for several reasons:

1. 15 Characters or Less

Twitter only allows you to have a 15 character user name (unless it’s your actual name). As you may have noticed Traveling Well For Less is more than 15 characters (5 more to be exact). Because TravelingWell was already taken I chose TravelingWellfl.

2. Too Many Accounts

I picked TravelingWellfl because in my mind “fl” stands for “for less”. However, not everyone thinks the same way I do (Jeff tells me that a lot…).

Plus some of my friends have a hard time remembering the blog’s twitter so they just tweet to use my personal Twitter account debbieschroeder. This is all fine and dandy because (eventually) I’ll see the Tweet.

But I don’t check my personal Twitter as often as I should. And it was a stark reminder that if my friends forgot my Twitter handle, then other people would too.

3. Ran Out of Cards

I travel a lot. Like two weeks of every month a lot.

Yeah, I can hear you now saying, “What? You travel a lot? Where’s all your trip reports and hotels reviews, etc.?” Yeah, yeah, I know. I need to write more. It’s coming. You’ll be able to enjoy lots of posts on travel adventures soon.

As I was saying, I travel a lot. People often ask for your business card when traveling. Add that to the conferences I’ve been to this year and I’m out of business cards.

Making the Twitter change now means the new business cards will have the new Twitter name instead of the old name.

Other Changes

Changing our Twitter handle from TravelingWellfl to TravelWell4Less is just one of the changes we’re making. Here are the rest:

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.
