New on the Blog: How to Plan a Christmas Market Trip with Points & Miles
There’s something about Christmas markets in Europe that feels like stepping into a real-life Hallmark movie — twinkling lights, steaming mugs of mulled wine, cobblestone streets, and rows of wooden chalets filled with ornaments and treats.
But let’s be honest… holiday travel isn’t cheap. Between flights, hotels, and all the goodies you’ll want to bring home, costs add up quickly. That’s why I’m sharing exactly how I used points and miles to make my own Christmas market trip affordable — covering flights, hotels, Airbnbs, and even trains.
In this new post, I’ll walk you through:
- How to save on December flights to Europe
- Which credit cards work best for boutique hotels & Airbnbs
- Hidden perks like TSA PreCheck, rental car coverage, and trip delay insurance
- How to use annual travel credits (like Delta Amex Reserve + Venture X) to cut down hotel costs
If you’ve been dreaming of sipping mulled wine in Strasbourg or shopping the stalls in Vienna, this guide will show you how to make it happen — without draining your bank account.
P.S. If you’ve been waiting to open a travel credit card, now’s the perfect time. I’ve included my referral links inside the post so you can unlock the same bonuses I used — and take the first step toward your own Christmas market adventure.
