Welcome to Points for Normal People!

If you’re wondering where to begin when it comes to picking the right credit cards for travel points, I am here to be your guide. In this episode, I help show you how to choose the right cards, tune out the marketing noise, and let you know exactly where to start. 

Choosing the right credit cards and following a proven plan will help you get the most out of travel points! 

ACTION STEPS:

• Pick one new card to open. This is the easiest way to earn points quickly. 
• My top recommendation is the Chase Sapphire Preferred® Card: If you already have one, refer your partner or spouse: More here (and my affiliate link if you decide to apply) https://katiestraveltricks.com/sapphirepreferred/
• Three Year Plan: If you have already completed the steps above, read my three year plan: https://katiestraveltricks.com/easy-three-year-plan-for-points/

Hi, I’m Katie from Katie’s Travel Tricks! I am here to help you learn the secrets that my family has been using for over a decade, using everyday expenses and welcome offers to supercharge your points earning. When you learn to do this, you can cover entire vacations every year.

Our family has been to Hawaii, Asia, the Caribbean, Europe — and more — all thanks to strategically earning and redeeming points. We've done this on a limited travel budget and now want to help you do it, too.
