Greetings!
I'm new to posting on the Dis, yet have been reading for a long time. I'm fascinated by the concept of better utilizing credit cards to earn free or greatly reduced travel. I've read this thread from time to time, and am amazed at how knowledgeable and welcoming you are!
I'd appreciate any help you can give to help get me started.
Here's my info - feel free to ask for clarification if helpful:
Credit cards approved in last 24 months: none (spouse and I have had all of our cards for quite a while)
Amount we could put monthly on cards: $2k
We pay off every month
Fly out of Minneapolis St Paul airport
Prefer Delta or Southwest Airlines due to their service at MSP. Not opposed to other airlines, though
Hotel preference: slight preference to Marriott and Hilton
Rewards programs: Enrolled with low balances in Delta, Southwest, Marriott, Hilton
Goals: Travel! We travel annually to Ft Myers, FL in March, and try for at least one or two additional trips each year. We are considering Canada this summer. Also -- DS may study abroad in Europe either Fall 2020 or Spring 2021, so will plan a trip to visit him. A river cruise in Europe is also on the near-term list.
