For anyone who travels often enough, a travel credit card can be a valuable tool for booking a trip. The way a cardholder chooses to leverage their travel credit card and its benefits is a personal decision based on factors like travel preferences, location, flexibility and more. One might open a card to save points for a dream trip, while another user may only check their points balance when they’re starting to feel the desire to get away.

A credit card can be more than just another way to make purchases and occupy space in your wallet. More and more credit cards come with incentives that benefit the cardholder, such as points, cash back, miles or other rewards. Taking advantage of those rewards can seem complicated when you’re not an avid user, but learning the ins and outs is worth it. As someone new to the credit card space, I can relate to those who find disclosures, rewards and potential costs intimidating.
