[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Would someone please elaborate on the points being mentioned here? Are they credit card points? Any recommendations for cards, especially if you don't travel often?[/quote]

do a search for best travel rewards cards.

but PPs are ignoring the point that you can just get cash back from certain credit cards instead of travel points and use it for whatever you want (whether it be a trip or a 529).[/quote]

[b]Yeah, we've looked at this pretty extensively and if you get a good cash back card, it's way better than getting mileage points.  [/b]

We have 5 in our family and have to travel at peak times (school breaks) so even a "cheap" vacation to stay with family runs about $4K for the week (usually $3k for flights cross country for five, plus car rental, parking at airport, a few outings to museums or whatever, and taking relatives out to dinner a few times during the week as a thank you).  Trips where we have to pay for lodging run closer to $10K, because we need a suite or two hotel rooms.  I've been trying to talk the family into driving vacations but they all hate driving/riding so that's been an uphill battle. [/quote]

Disagree. The value I have gotten from applying points to a variety of airlines and hotels FAR outweighs the cash back cards I've seen. I've redeemed mileage points for plane tickets to ASia, Caribbean, West Coast, Florida, as well as hotel nights in Paris, Napa, etc. It must add up to 10k in flights and hotel.[/quote]
