Credit Cards are the beating heart of the Travel Hacker. Credit Cards enable Travel Hackers to accumulate hundreds of thousands of points and miles, and use those points and miles to travel around the world, for pennies on the dollar!

I’ve been in this game three years now – I’ve accumulated nearly 700,000 miles, saved $10,000 on flights and accommodation. I consider myself a bonafide travel hacker.

An extension of NomadsNation Credit Card Power Rankings, this series takes a look at my favorite Travel Hacking Cards. I look at each card individually, and isolate each cards’ pros and cons – enabling you to pick which card works for you.

If you are new to Travel Hacking, I would suggest starting here, where I go over the basics.
