Sunday Someday Pleasanton Traveling Well For Less

Today’s Sunday Someday is Pleasanton.

Late fall and early spring are the best times to visit Pleasanton if you want moderate temperatures.

You can use airline miles and points to fly to Oakland, San Jose or San Francisco. From San Francisco and Oakland you can take BART (Bay Area Rapid Transit) to get to Dublin and then take a bus to Pleasanton. A roundtrip coach ticket cost 25,000 airlines miles.

Southwest Airlines also flies to Oakland, San Jose and San Francisco. If you have the Southwest Companion Pass, you and a companion can fly for free. If you don’t have the Southwest Companion Pass, the bonus from two Southwest credit cards can almost get you there.

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.
