Having travel benefits is only the first step. Getting value from them depends on how you use them. These five habits are the ones we repeat most with the people who travel with us.
The five habits
Plan ahead: the best options in exchange networks and in high season are requested months in advance.
Combine categories: lodging, flight, car and activities managed together usually beat booking them separately.
Be flexible with dates: moving a trip a few days can open availability and better conditions.
Register your loyalty programs: hotels, airlines and cards accumulate points an advisor can help you use.
Talk to your advisor before booking on your own: there is often an alternative within your benefits you hadn't considered.
