There’s a popular credit card offering a limited-time 75k welcome bonus—worth $1,500 or more when transferring to its airline and hotel partners.
It’s the first card I recommend when a friend or family member asks how they can do the stuff I do—namely, book free airfare. They always think there’s a catch until they do it themselves and realize how easy it is. Take flying to Hawaii, for example.
Singapore Airlines partners with United Airlines to give you an uncommonly cheap way to reach the Aloha State.
When flying United Airlines to Hawaii from anywhere in the US, you’ll typically need 19,500 Singapore Airlines miles each way in economy class. With 78,000 points (which you’ll have after earning the welcome bonus and from the points you earned from spending), you would have enough for two roundtrip flights to Hawaii.
This means you can still enjoy a significant discount on your airfare, particularly if you’re flying from the East Coast.
