So enjoy this vacation because I'm booking you as my agent the second you land. Or second day. I might show some grace! ☺️ This is so helpful!! We have loads and loads of points and the TD travel card AND loads of European friends to visit but we never knew how to book the tickets without it still costing an arm and a leg in fees! Thank you for all the work you put into this!!

With Amex, if you have multiple Amex ...Hey Julia! <br /><br />With Amex, if you have multiple Amex cards, when you cancel one you can ask that the points be transferred onto the card you are still keeping. If you are cancelling your only Amex card, then before cancelling, you will need to transfer the points to a frequent flier program (Eg. Aeroplan) so you can eventually redeem them for a flight. Aeroplan points don't expire (as long as you make one transaction a year), so you can safely keep them there and cancel your Amex card. <br /><br />But don't forget you have a full year before the Annual Fee kicks in, so you don't really have to cancel before then. But if some some reason you absolutely must, as long as you keep the above in mind you'll keep your points.Bradhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16409702891733762602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9104461609634984917.post-230636895592494952015-01-10T10:58:23.384-08:002015-01-10T10:58:23.384-08:00Hey Brad, thanks for the info!

So we don't spend any more on food than we would at home.<br /><br />So pretty much your only significant expense is the apartment rental. But depending on where you're going, and what you're comfortable with, you don't have to break the bank on that either.<br /><br />Airbnb has become the go-to apartment rental website, and we use it regularly. If you'd like, you can use this link to save $27! https://www.airbnb.ca/c/bmorrice?s=4<br /><br />Depending on the country you're traveling to, there's free options as well. But Airbnb certainly does provide the most protection.<br /><br />I hope that helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.Bradhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16409702891733762602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9104461609634984917.post-77547878816089069002014-10-09T17:31:26.450-07:002014-10-09T17:31:26.450-07:00Hi Peter,

Sadly, American credit card offers far surpass ours.
