Hello Busy Travel Season | Ever Rented An EV?
Hi Fellow Traveler,
It’s been a great and very quick week. I feel like I missed a day or something.
Sorry about the title of last week’s email; I goofed; sorry about that, I just plumb forgot to change it.
Spring Break is here so travel has ramped up and the temperature in Houston is playing havoc again, we basically cycled through 54F to 83F all week, it’s just crazy. The plants are truly confused as am I.
I’ve changed up the newsletter format this week, I’ve got a little poll at the end of the newsletter, so please read all the way through and let me know what you think. You can even leave me a comment as well.
How are things in your neck of the woods?
Here’s what I have for you this week.

Travel Insurance
Travel insurance is just as important as booking your flights and your hotel; it’s a part of the journey. it gives you peace of mind when you travel. At least, it does for me. That’s why I have an annual policy. Consider getting travel insurance for every trip or an annual policy. you don’t need it until you need it.

Travel Credit Cards
If you use credit cards, then consider getting a card that gives you points for every dollar you spend. This will ensure that you can travel almost for free when you are ready.
Here are a few travel offers that came to my mailbox.
Note: I will receive points as a commission if you apply for and is approved for any of these cards. Thank you in advance.
Chase IHG MasterCard Offer
One way to get hotel points is to get one of these massive credit card offers. Chase has a current offer for 4 FREE nights; this is pretty epic as it's usually about 40K+/night if you stay in popular cities. This is a great deal and you should at least check it out. I also get some miles if you get a card, so we both could win.
