[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Points for flights. We charge all our tuitions (3 in college and 1 in private high school). [/quote]

You lie lie lie.

As someone with 4 kids who went to different private schools and 2 in college there is no possible way.  You have to pay through a service which charges a fee by bank transfer.  Unless your kids go to for profit schools - in which case you’re wasting money [/quote]

I do not think they lie... I just think they make poor financial decisions. But it seems that they have excess money anyway, so probably not a big financial hit to them.[/quote]

Yes, there is a CC fee. It’s somewhere between 1.5-3%.

Depending what credit card you use, the points might be worth more than the fee.

We tend to split charges between a card that generates points for an airline and another that accumulates hotel points. I haven’t paid out of pocket for a hotel in years. I also stay loyal to one hotel brand and airline when traveling for business (which is reimbursed by my employer and helps retain status).

But my biggest tip remains building trips around cheap flights, particularly when traveling abroad with kids. [/quote]
