Lesson for Day Four
Now that you’ve seen the range of prices in cash or miles & points, it is time to pick an airline and hotel rewards program to focus on to make your dream vacation a reality.
We recommend that you should join all of the airline and hotel loyalty programs eventually, but your primary goal is to concentrate on the airline and hotel rewards programs that meet your immediate needs.

When evaluating hotels, don’t always pick the lower priced option. When you have status with a hotel, paying a couple bucks more to stay with that hotel brand vs. any others is often well worth it. You’ll be earning points towards a free stay, you have the potential to be upgraded to a nicer room, and you’ll be staying at a hotel that offers certain standards that you’ve become accustomed to.
It doesn’t make sense to have a few miles and points spread across numerous programs. All that does is leave you frustrated because you don’t have enough miles or points in any program to redeem towards free travel.
Instead, concentrate your hotel stays and flights with a single hotel and airline brand to be on the fast track to free travel!
All of these travel loyalty programs are free to sign up. Eventually, you will want to sign up for all of them. However, their emails have a tendency to overwhelm your inbox, so let’s start with the 1 or 2 that best suit your needs for this dream vacation.
