Collecting credit card signup bonuses
If you are willing to move beyond our simple plan, the most valuable "next step" is to start collecting signup bonuses. You can sign up for one credit card after another, to earn their often lucrative signup bonuses. Contrary to popular belief, it wont' kill your credit rating—it is more likely to improve it.
As long as you don't have a problem handling credit, this is the easiest way to generate hundreds of thousands of reward points that can be used for free airplane tickets and hotel rooms.
Get the most from travel reward programs
Frequent flyer and hotel programs let you travel more often or more luxuriously. But, frequent flyer programs, in particular, can be difficult to take advantage of. Our Step-by-Step Guide to Booking Award Tickets provides the advice you need to actually find available award space and get the most out of your frequent flyer miles. If you don't already understand the basics of frequent flyer miles and airline alliances, read the background information in our Award Tickets 101: The Basics guide first.
Fortunately, taking advantage of hotel reward programs is a lot easier. Award Nights 101: Using Your Hotel Points provides all the details you need to use hotel loyalty programs to book free nights.
Beyond the basics, there are many strategies that can help you get more out of frequent flyer and hotel programs.
