Looking for advice...need to purchase 2 round trip tickets (most likely AA or United but possibly delta). Is it worth it to open a new card (tickets look to be about $700-$850 total)? We don’t fly often (next flight will be thanksgiving 2019).
I currently have freedom, Disney Visa, Discover, and BestBuy credit cards. My husband has discover,Disney, and a basic Amex.
The tickets need to be purchased very soon as the trip is next month.
Open to any suggestions! Thanks!
If you open up a new credit card, what do you want out of it? Travel rewards, free bags, cash back?
Very few of the more rewarding cards have a low minimum spending requirement of $500 or $1k; you'd be asked to put $3k-$5k to qualify for the signup bonus. Do you typically put everything on credit cards (and of course, pay them off every month) or do you do cash, checks, and debit?
Is signing up for credit cards for travel rewards towards future trips or trips you might not otherwise take, or cash back something you're interested in pursuing going forward, or is this a one-off thing for the plane tickets?
