Part 5/7:
6. Ignoring the Value of Credit Card Rewards
Americans enjoy an advantage with travel rewards programs that may not be available in other countries. Maximizing these rewards through strategic planning can immensely reduce travel costs. Focus on credit cards with attractive welcome bonuses and use them for everyday purchases to accumulate points for future travels.
7. Cultivating an Arrogant Attitude
American travelers often fall into the trap of viewing their customs as superior to those of the countries they visit. This mindset can lead to disrespecting local traditions and alienating locals. To enhance your travel experience, approach each destination with humility, openness, and a genuine willingness to embrace local customs.
