When you earn miles for your everyday expenditures, you can still justify playing golf, relaxing at the spa, taking your clothes to the dry cleaner, etc. By redeeming the miles you earn on these “everyday” activities, you can lower your family vacation travel costs because you made smart choices with your discretionary expenditures. Choose the right rewarding merchants for the things that you spend $$$ on repeatedly and your rewards can really add up…automatically…and get you much closer to that next trip or vacation
