Yeah, so for the purposes of this episode, when we refer to a travel credit card, we're talking about a card that earns some type of transferable currency that you can redeem with multiple airlines or hotels. And airline or hotel cards will be specific to one brand.

I also want to give a shout out to our boss, Paul. He loves cash back cards and he's going to be so happy to hear about them in this episode.

All right, so let's get started with the draft. I'll let you go first. Some rando comes up to you at a party and asks you what the best travel credit card is.

Yes, no questions allowed. Okay, if I'm just giving a name, Chase Sapphire Preferred. That's probably what I would have gone with, too. Why is that your first pick in the draft? Well, I think it's no surprise that it is our first pick. In fact, I made my parents get this card. Me too. My dad got this one, and we haven't spent any of the points yet, but I'm really excited to get going with him.

Yeah, this one is pretty manageable at $95 a year, which is lower than a lot of the more premium cards that might cost three or four, six times as much.

And you don't have to mess with the transfer partners if you don't want to. Like you mentioned at the top, they do have a portal where it kind of looks like a standard booking site. You put in your dates and your destinations, and then you can apply your points to any of those types of bookings.

So let's say you book a hotel for a few nights and it costs $500 in cash. If you book that with a travel portal or cashback, and those are usually giving you about one cent per point value, you'd have to spend 50,000 points to get that $500 hotel stay. But with the Chase Sapphire Preferred, you'd only spend 40,000 points. That's 10,000 points you saved and that you can use for your next trip.
