Most of us are signed up for airline reward programs but are you benefitting from hotel and car rental points as well?
Airline Programs: Try to stick to as few as possible. While it might not always be the most convenient flight, I try to use the same airline so I get a least one free ticket each year. The only exception? If the only flight available includes a layover.
Hotel Programs: I am not as good about using these but I am trying. The best options are hotel franchises where you can gain and earn points across various hotel groups.
Car Rental Programs: This has been the most surprising benefit of all. National offers free rental days in exchange for a certain amount of paid days.
Be sure that you input your membership credentials when traveling on business too. This way you can personally benefit from all of that business travel!
