We could talk forever about that. Okay, cool. So we talked about budgeting for flights. Now, I imagine you budget for rental cars and hotels the same exact way.

Yes. Now, these are fun so often in the financial space here at NerdWallet. Everyone is like, save, save, save. And yes, that's true. But with points... We generally say the opposite.

Yes, and generally if Marriott's raising award prices, you can guess all the other hotel brands will too, which is why, yes, I do like the idea of having some future trips in mind when you're coming up with your travel reward strategy.
