With June quickly approaching many families are starting to prepare for a summer vacation. In less than a month, many kids will be finishing up the school year and parents will be exercising some well earned vacation days.
At CreditShout, this means helping our readers maximize their travel points to make that trip a little more affordable. One of the most popular destinations for families redeeming their card rewards (or least the one we get the most questions about) is Disney. Every week around this time we get a few emails that look something like this:
Dear CreditShout,
My wife and I are starting to save for a Disney vacation. We aren’t “huge” spenders so probably won’t be relying solely on credit card points to pay for this but they will help! Which cards would you recommend using to help us start saving for the trip?
The good news is that here are plenty of cards with travel rewards programs to choose from. However because there are so many different programs, choosing the right one can be confusing especially when you aren’t a high spender – every point you earn matters!
In this situation, your first thought is to probably sign up for the official “Disney” branded credit card. However with credit cards, a little research usually goes a long way and the most apparent option isn’t always the best option. To demonstrate this, today we are going to compare the Disney Premier Visa with another popular option for those earning credit card rewards, the Chase Sapphire Preferred card.
