Sophie, time to go tripping. This one is easy and can be done with 2 cards each, not necessarily at the same time.
Airfare - Barclays Arrive 40K points plus the $3K for meeting the requirement = $430 towards any travel. You earn 2 percent on all purchases and zero percent interest for the first year. Book the flight from any site, use the card to pay for it, then use the points to take care of the cost. You are not stuck with block out dates or seats not being available.
Hotel- Chase Sapphire then covert points to cash. So 45K (each) plus the $3K expenditure required = 48K points. You can sell these points for $600 cash times two = $1,200
Remember Amazon pay allows you to pay someone $1K per month from your card but it counts as a purchase not cash advance. Of course this trusted person return the payment to YOU.
Value of the trip about $2,100 on 176K points earned.....FREE.
It's really as easy as getting the Southwest card and transferring the points to Air tran for a free trip to Jamaica.
Any Questions ???
Rastagirl - Better deal for you.
