Sis, let's talk about how I'm pulling off this Military Influencer Conference without touching my regular budget 👀✈️
Here's the breakdown:
💳 Flights: I've been stacking American Airlines () miles for a minute. Used them for two one-way tickets and only paid taxes, $5.60 x 2. We're talking $11-12 total for airfare.
🏨 Hotel: Used my Chase Sapphire points (), that has a $250 rebate to book two nights at the conference hotel through the travel portal. Final cost? $13.
That's flights AND a hotel for under $25 out of pocket. The only thing left on my list is ground transportation and meals while I'm there.
This is the Say Yes Plan in action. Knowing how to work the points and the systems you already have access to without worrying about having extra money when you want to afford everything. 👀
Part 2 is coming where I explain how I break down the group travel and food costs during the entire trip. Drop a 🧳 if you want that breakdown or if this was helpful! & join my newsletter in my bio (www.howtoaffordeverything.com) to learn more tips like this one.
