Today’s Sunday Someday is Boston.

In honor of my friend Tammy’s daughter getting into Boston University, I’ve chosen Boston.

I confess, I’ve already been to Boston.  I did several mileage runs to Boston in 2009 when American had a triple miles promotion, but I never left the airport.  And I had an overnight layover when I went to Anchorage.  I arrived around midnight and left early the next morning.  So I have yet to do the Freedom Trail or anything else Boston offers.

Spring is the best time to visit Boston.

You can get to Boston using airline miles and points.

A one-way coach ticket on American Airlines or United Airlines costs 12,500 miles.  Or you can use 4,500 British Airways Avios points if you’re within 650 miles from Boston.  You’ll pay 15,000 or 20,000 British Airways Avios points for flights further away.

You can also use your Southwest Companion Pass to visit.

What are the must see’s in Boston?

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.
