Welcome to season 2 of Starting Today!

On this episode, I sit down with my husband, Doni Marinos, to chat about all of the travel adventures we've had, why we love it, and some tricks we've learned along the way.

Please join us for our first ever Youtube live this Friday, January 17th at 7:30 pm as we do a deep dive on our recent trip to Italy over wine and snacks!

Here are some of the travel credit cards we use to earn miles:

• CapitalOne Venture X
  • This is the one with the high annual fee but it is offset with a $300 travel credit and 10k miles after your first year ($100 value).
  • They are currently offering 75k miles after you spend $4,000 within 3 months of account opening.
  • 2x miles on every purchase.
  • $120 Credit for Global Entry or TSA PreCheck
  • Access to thousands of airport lounges worldwide
• Chase Sapphire Preferred or Reserve
  • They are currently offering 60k miles after a $4,000 spend in the first 3 months.
  • Points are worth more when you book through the Chase Travel Portal.
  • 3x points on dining.
  • 2x points on all travel purchases (3x points if you have the reserve card).
• AAdvantage Aviator Mastercard
  • They are currently offering 70k miles ($700 value) after you make one purchase and pay the $99 annual fee.
  • Not a great card for earning miles generally but that intro offer is worth signing up!

Please remember to only apply for a credit card if you can pay it off every month. If you're paying interest on these, it's not worth it!
