Finding your ideal credit card is like finding that perfect pair of jeans. You have to try them on for size, and then you have to make sure they don’t fit too well before you hand over your money!
With that said, using less than half of one of the cards’ rewards programs means getting lower reward points or no reward points at all, depending on which program you choose to use.
But what if there was another way? What if you could get the same benefits as an economy-sized leg of denim without having to spend extra on clothing?
That’s where we are coming in. We made this article because we found it super annoying doing our budgeting every month, only to be rewarded with a bunch of empty smiles and dollar store toys. So let us help you save some money by figuring out how to earn more cash via credit cards!
We will go through each type of credit card and determine whether or not it is worth it.
Business Class
One of the biggest expenses shared by most frequent business class travelers is their premium business class ticket. Many people do not realize just how expensive a business class flight can be!
Business class tickets are typically three to five times more expensive than regular economy class tickets. This comes as no surprise given that business class passengers get extra-comfortable seats, decent snacks and beverages, and other amenities.
But what many don’t know is that some airlines actually increase the price of an economy class seat to account for the cost of a business class upgrade. This way you will still pay less overall for your trip if you choose to spend money on additional perks.
First Class
What is first class? First-class upgrades are those that offer more substantial benefits than just additional seats or bigger pillows. Some examples of first-class services include upgraded food, drinks, in-flight entertainment, premium lounges, or even full tours of the aircraft!
Most airlines have at least one airline lounge where you can rest up before departure, some even give priority boarding so people with early flights do not have to wait for last minute arrivals, and some even have refreshments available. Lounges vary per carrier but most contain comfortable seating, free wifi, and limited snacks and beverages.
Some carriers also have access to special pre-prepared foods and/or drink selections that are better than what they would normally sell on board. This is very helpful if you happen to be traveling during peak times such as holiday seasons or big events like the Super Bowl.
In addition to these personal amenities, many airlines now offer “concierge” level service. These typically cost around $150-$300 extra per ticket depending on the flight length and how frequent traveler status you hold. Examples of these types of perks include booking airport transfers, hotel reservations, restaurant recommendations, and other fun things to see and do while in town.
Club Premier
At $350, Club Premier is one of the most expensive membership levels at The Spa at Viceroy. With this level, you get use of all five treatment rooms (including sauna), massage tables, shower, dry bath, and relaxation area.
The cost for this level also includes spa-sized towels, hand sanitizer, and 1 bottle of lotion or cream per person. You’ll also receive 10% off any service at the Viceroy location and 2 months access to Unlimited Expressions Daycare services.
This is great if you are looking to spend more money on your self care and want extended childcare services. Both things are very important when spending lots of time in the spa!
If you are already a member of Viceroy, then this article can be ignored. This article will not apply to you as it talks about additional memberships that may or may not be included in an existing Viceroy Membership.
Upper Premium
Even though economy cars are usually considered to be budget friendly, they can sometimes cost more than your average vehicle. This is because companies include some additional features in them that appeal to their target audience.
Some of these additions are for looks or to increase performance slightly. Others are just there to add an extra level of luxury to your car ride.
With this article, we will go over five such premium components of the 2018 Hyundai Elantra EX and why you should spend a little bit more money on them.
Lower Premium
Recent trends show that young people are paying higher premiums than older generations. This is due to two major reasons. First, they may need more coverage as their health improves over time. Second, because of how much medical technology has advanced, doctors can perform more tests and procedures, so insurance companies offer larger premium discounts for additional coverage.
However, there is another factor at play here too. More expensively-educated young adults may choose to go into less lucrative fields than working with medicine or in business. These professionals typically have lower income levels, which means they get limited benefits from health insurance.
This disadvantage is particularly significant during times when you do not have adequate coverage. Because most employers provide some form of healthcare, workers in these areas must pay out of pocket or receive very little help with expenses.
Fortunately, there are ways to reduce your policy’s cost if this applies to you.
Upper Economy
The upper economy is what most people refer to as “normal” spending. This includes all of your daily expenditures, such as food, shelter, phone bills, etc. Your monthly budget should have an adequate amount in the lower economy, but beyond that, this section can be spent shopping, eating out, traveling, and the like.
In fact, during early stages of marriage, many couples will spend very little time together due to money worries. As you know, spending time with each other is one of the key foundations of a successful relationship!
So, how much extra money does economy x require? That depends on you!
There are two main factors determined by whether or not you feel that you can afford to live comfortably. If you believe that you cannot, then economies x and y may not exist for you.
On the other hand, if you think that you can easily make it through the month without too much trouble, then you probably don't need lots of savings.
Lower Economy
The lower economy is what we refer to as ‘dining at home’ mode. This is when you don’t need to run out every few minutes, there are no busy restaurants around you, and you can stay in your own space and eat what you want to refresh yourself.
In this mode, you can still enjoy food, but only for so long before it becomes boring or you get hungry again. Therefore, it is important to be aware of how much fuel you have left in order to make sure you aren’t wasting it too quickly.
You should try to avoid running down your savings unless you really needed something such as groceries or if you won a free item online. More than likely, you will find that most of the items sold at any given grocery store or restaurant supply place has enough leftover fuel for one use.
This article will go into more detail about tips and tricks for staying within your budget while in eating-delicous modes.
Standard Class
Having only one class is not an appropriate way to organize your educational experience. Most universities have more than one class option! There are two main types of classes at most colleges these days.
One type is called “traditional” or “common core,” which usually consists of lectures with some discussion and/or questions. This is typically the first thing students learn about a topic until they move onto the next unit.
The other common type is what we call “active learning.” These classes rely heavily on student-student interaction and informal discussions. Students may be asked to share their thoughts on a paper or question and answer surveys or interviews conducted by the teacher.
These lessons often include group exercises like debates or true false questions where everyone has to agree or disagree. Teachers will sometimes ask you to do something related to the lesson that requires you to work in groups or as individuals.
There are many different ways to teach this concept so teachers can use either one alone or mix them together depending on the material being covered.
