Airline Cards: Are they worth it?

Airline cards, these branded cards signal a partnership between a card issuer and some of your favorite travel loyalty programs and today we are going to tackle the principle of these types of cards and if it is in your best interest to apply for one or not. The first thing you need to look at is if you're interested in travel, because if you aren't then obviously you don't even need to look at these options. the second thing you need to look at is if you're loyal enough to a single airline to warrant getting one of these cards, you also have to take in consideration where is it that you want to travel or where is it that you mostly travel to, if you're looking to travel abroad your best bet would be to look at what airline goes to the places that you most want to travel to, if you're looking to travel to Europe then my suggestion would be to pick a card belonging to a airline like Iberia or British Airways, if you're someone that travels a lot domesti...

Introduction to cash-back and rewards through everyday spending and Points Nomads goal

When we talk about credit cards there’s always a common train of thought that correlates them with debt, and while in some cases that may be true it all really comes down to managing your finances correctly, because in the right hands and with the right strategy credit cards can present a amazing opportunity to save some money or grab some very useful rewards points that can be exchanged for flights, hotel stays, experiences and many other things.

There exists a variety of credit cards each with different traits, some offer cashback on any purchase, others offer cashback or rewards on supermarkets, gas stations, travel, dining, etc. Chances are that if you’re spending any amount of money on any of these things and other everyday expenses you’re missing out on the opportunity to capitalize on that daily budget, but on the other hand that also means that you have a clean slate to work with and there’s most likely a card out there for you ready to help you save money on your monthly groceries or rack up points for this years vacation to Paris.

My goal here at Points Nomads is to help people get the most out of their everyday spending, provide info on how to work on your credit so that you may have access to some of the best cards on the market and bring all the information possible so that you can form credit card strategies that fit your budget, keep you updated on the ever changing credit card landscape and help you obtain the financial flexibility to be able to travel luxuriously for free or at a very low cost.

Best Amex Card Pairings: Which combination is best for you

Hello my fellow travel enthusiasts, today I am going to be talking about the different card combinations you can make with amex cards to help you save on your daily expenses and get you ever closer to those long awaited vacations you've been wanting. The first thing you need to do is look at your expenses, what is it that you're spending more money on and what expenses aren't worth taking advantage of, let's say that you're more of a cook at home person than a dine out person, if this is the case then you're not gonna get a card that saves you on restaurants, you're gonna look for a card that saves you on groceries, makes sense doesn't it? This same approach you're going to take with all your other expenses until you have the math down, after you've gotten all your expenses straightened out it's finally time to go credit card hunting. Now, American Express has a wide array of credit cards to choose from that cover a wide range of expens...
