This is another one that I am SO excited about! Did you know that you can use many credit cards to cover travel expenses? Did you know that you can also earn those travel rewards on ALL of your everyday purchases (not just by paying for travel!)?? I had always thought that an airline credit card was just for airlines, or a hotel card was just for hotels. Well here is a great example of one that you can use to get a free week long paid stay at thousands of locations worldwide; here are our last couple of stays with Marriott (YUP; always get the larger rooms + free breakfast!!)

Marriott credit cards are issued by Chase bank. These are Visa’s that can be used anywhere that accepts Visa (INCLUDING ONLINE BILL PAYMENTS!), and you will earn Marriotts Reward points. In fact, just for making $5,000 in purchases in the next 3 months ($1,667 per month; WOW!), you will earn a bonus 125,000, which is roughly FIVE FREE NIGHTS. You also get a free night for every 5th night booked, meaning that between the 5 free nights, 5th free night, and points you earn in your everyday spending, you can take a full 6+ day trip for FREE. Click below to apply and get an answer in under 5 minutes, and you will then want to also sign up for the Marriotts Reward club online as well so that you can book through there. Points will become available when the statement closes for that month, so you could literally start traveling next month.

Another GREAT way to get points is with an Authorized User. You will get 5,000 points for adding an Authorized User to your account. Marriott will send you a card with their name on it, and you can give it to them, or better yet throw it in a file somewhere and not use it. This will help them to build their credit as well; think kids, family members, etc. Make sure not to use your spouse, as your spouse can get this card and ALSO GET THE 5 night + 5,000 point bonus, making for some insane points and free hotel stay possibilities!!!

IN ADDITION, Marriott will give you a FREE night’s stay every year on your card’s anniversary, so this is a great bonus that could be a couple hundred bucks! You will earn 6% at the hotels, and 2% everything else. That’s an awesome benefit package, on top of the initial bonus that they are offering. They also give away elite credits based on your spending, and you get tons of additional member benefits like late checkout, free Wi-Fi, mobile check-in, discounted rates, and more (we just got a free upgrade on our last stay with this automatic status as well).
