They can be super helpful, but you have to remember to do that. There are also honestly endless combinations of stacks. Probably the most obvious ones are airline or hotel credit cards or elite status. I do want to call out, though, that you might have some other types of travel benefits, too, on those cards.

Like some come with rental car elite status, which is a great way to skip the line at the rental car counter and also maybe get a slightly better vehicle. So we can link to the list of those cards in the episode description. All right. We've got lots more to say about points transfers. Stay with us. We're back in a moment.

Whenever the price alert tells me. Yeah. kidding, but like not really. It depends where you're going, of course, right?

And another good reminder right here is set those price alerts and keep an eye out for a price that you'd be willing to pay and then buy it. If you purchase main cabin fares, you'll be able to rebook if the price drops any further. What about for international flights, Sally?

I'm stressed. I'm behind. Okay, get going. The good thing is, though, that I usually don't worry about which day of the week I'm buying the flight. I'm more worried about the day that I'm actually flying. So generally, Sunday is the most expensive day to fly. And most crowded. And most crowded. Thursday and Saturday are the cheapest days to fly.

And that's all according to Expedia's 2025 air travel hacks report. Domestic flights on Saturday average about 17% less than Sunday flights. So flying home on Saturday is nice because you have that day to vacation from your vacation, aka do your laundry, do the meal prepping, get your life in order before you go back to work. I'm a big fan actually of coming home on Saturdays now.

And let's talk about 4th of July this year. This one is really tricky because 4th of July moves around on the day of the week it is. This year, 4th of July falls on a Friday. And many people will have that Friday off. So you can expect Thursday evening to be very busy at the airports and on the roads.
