WSJ Your Money Briefing · Here’s Why You’re Not Finding the Best Deals on a Travel Credit Card · 31 Jan 2024 podcast

Wall Street Journal travel reporter Jacob Passy looked into these prices and explains what you should know before booking that summer vacay. matched

That's after the break. matched

If you want to get the best deal out of your credit card company's travel website, you might have to do a little more math and shopping around than you think. matched

WSJ travel reporter Jacob Passy looked at what goes into these travel bookings, and he joins me now. matched

So Jacob, as people have been going online to their credit card portal, what are they noticing about these prices? matched

Who sets these prices on the credit card company site? matched

But the prices on the credit card company's website and the prices on the third party that manages those sites are different. matched

Is that what we're seeing? matched

A big thing when someone's going to book their travel is timing. matched

Someone who logs onto their credit card site, they might not see the same prices as they see on Google Flights or the airline site. matched

What if the price changes on those websites? matched

Does it update on the credit card side? matched

And for people who are looking outside of their credit card travel booking website, a benefit of booking through a third party is, like we're talking about, that price can be lower. matched

But what are you missing out on if you do that? matched

This puts travelers in a dilemma where they have to decide if they want to book with their card or if it's cheaper to book directly with an airline or a third party. matched

From the people you spoke to, what kinds of things did they consider when making this decision? matched

A lot of these travel credit cards have an annual fee. matched

So how does that money factor into this equation? matched

What are some of the biggest mistakes that people can make here when they're booking with their travel card? matched

That's WSJ reporter Jacob Passy. matched
