This is usually done with restaurants, holidays and hotels. Johnny provides quality reports and literally gets paid to go on holiday or to eat a delicious meal at a restaurant. A new travel hacking technique?2 - Travel rewards and minimum spendingThe problem with many travel reward credit cards is that the minimum spend is pretty high, and that can put off some people, especially since you can't pay bills with a credit card. Johnny and his family use a third party software that allows you to pay bills from your credit card, and if you don't meet the minimum spend that month, you can prepay the bills or use a gift card. This is what allows him, his family and his in-laws to go on holiday to Jamaica at a resort, all for free.Questions? Like or dislike? Leave us a comment!Want to support the podcast?
