Gary’s Q&A

Listener question & Gary’s response · Transcript passage

The final question comes from Sevy, who asks, What are your favorite unorthodox travel hacks?

To be totally honest, I don’t really have any. I’ve never focused on things like travel hacks. I am aware that there is a very large number of people out there who are focused on travel hacks, frequent flyer miles, getting status with airlines, etc. Some of them are downright obsessed about it.

I’ve never really cared about those sorts of things. I’ve always been more interested in what I was seeing and where I was going rather than the minutia of getting discounts on flights and hotels

My travel hacks can be summarized as follows: get a credit card that has travel rewards like the Chase Sapphire Reserve, use it frequently, show loyalty to a particular airline or hotel chain if you want rewards.

That’s about it.
