Read the Reviews
As the world becomes more technologically advanced, travel reviews are in abundance. People are now more willing to share their experiences, both good and bad, which can really help you make informed decisions.
This includes: hotels, airlines, excursions, tours, restaurants, and more.
Use a Credit Card That Racks Up Points
Find a card that really reaps in points and benefits and then allocate as much of your spending to that card as you can—especially with points that can be redeemed on flights or travel.
The AmEx Gold is a good card for this. You can save a ton of money on your trip before it has even started.
Take Advantage of Cards That Offer Sign-Up Bonuses
Some credit cards offer you an incentive for signing up—usually in the form of a sign-up bonus in cashback or air miles.
You can potentially earn thousands of points and air miles just by signing up, which you can then use toward your trip.
