Travel hacking. It sounds extreme. Illegal even - but it isn't. It's just a clever way of hacking your way to lots of points which can be redeemed on a flight, hotel stay or even excursions.
Travel hacking involves the use of credit cards and I have to be honest. Credit cards are my least favourite option but still worth a mention. The problem is, if the card you register for doesn't offer any bonus points, then you could find yourself basically paying for air miles or any other travel rewards that are provided.
However, if you're capable of keeping up with credit card payments, this could be a dream come true for you. So what is travel hacking exactly?
Travel Hacking Explained Simply
Step 1 : Find a credit card that offers great bonus points - - for things like flights, hotel stays, luxury upgrades or excursions
Step 2 : Use that card only up to the amount required and for the time period needed to earn bonus points.
Step 3 : Spend your reward points on hotels, flights or excursions.
Step 4 : Cancel your credit card.
Step 5 : Repeat steps 1-4 with other travel rewards cards
* Only register for a credit card if you're confident you can afford to pay back the required amounts on time.
Always read the terms and conditions properly and always make your payments on time.
