Without Netflix, our relationship hits the skids.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\">When we stay home for too long.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\">That second one is mostly because it makes me grumpy so I subconsciously start acting out as a subliminal signal that I <strong>need to get out of town<\/strong>. Thomas, the mindreader, actually noticed this in June and (surprise!) we went to Zion. Problem solved!<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\">The point is, traveling as a couple is great. (Ironically, it\u2019ll also reveal cracks in your relationship or differences in your personalities that may not come up in \u201creal life\u201d \u2013 you see someone in a million different states of mind in a very short window. Relaxed, stressed, crunched for time, faced with choices\u2026 you learn a lot about someone.)<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\">And if you know what you\u2019re doing in the magical world of credit card points, your effort goes twice as far (and then a little further). You know the old saying about romance: Two credit reports are better than one!<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\">Step #1: Establish your <em>overall<\/em> strategy.<\/h2>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\">Lucky for you, I have established your strategy for you (to some extent) under <a href=\"https:\/\/www.moneywithkatie.com\/travel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the Travel tab<\/a> on this site. Even if you choose <strong>different co-branded options<\/strong> than the ones I selected, the overall logic of the flow holds up:<\/p>\n<ol data-rte-list=\"default\">\n<li>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\"><strong>A good cash back card that matches the premium card<\/strong> (e.g., the Chase Freedom card if you choose the Chase Sapphire), which serves more of a utilitarian function in the sense that it establishes your credit if you don\u2019t have any already and opens the floodgates for premium cards later. <em>If you have no credit cards now, you\u2019ll have to start here to establish credit then wait six months to proceed. <\/em><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\"><strong>A low annual fee, high acquisition bonus premium card<\/strong> (there is really no competition for the Chase Sapphire Preferred card here).<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\"><strong>Your airline card<\/strong> (I chose Southwest Airlines Rapid Rewards Priority Card and the United Explorer card).<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\"><strong>Your hotel card<\/strong> (I chose the Marriott Bonvoy Boundless Card, for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.moneywithkatie.com\/blog\/bonvoy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">these reasons<\/a>).<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\"><strong>Your really premium card<\/strong> (if you go for the Preferred for its sign-up bonus, you\u2019d almost definitely choose the American Express Platinum Card\u00ae at this point, which is expensive\u2014I review <a href=\"http:\/\/moneywithkatie.com\/american-express-platinums-new-annual-fee-of-695-worth-it\/\">how I justify the annual fee here<\/a>).<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\">And if you already have the cash back card and you can skip the first one, the card you\u2019d get next would be <strong>a high-value business card<\/strong> like the Chase Ink Business Preferred.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\">The point is, even if you\u2019re a Delta flyer and a Hilton loyalist, the overall strategy order still applies \u2013\u00a0if you want to travel for free as a couple, you need to leverage the full stack of options: hotel cards, airline cards, and the best \u201cagnostic\u201d cards in the game.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\">Now here\u2019s the tricky part\u2026 adding in another person to the mix. This is what allows you to move more quickly and more than double your sign-up bonuses.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\">Step #2. Adding bae to the equation.<\/h2>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\">Assuming you\u2019re both candidates for premium credit cards (e.g., you have no credit card debt, neither of you have spending problems, and you both have good-to-excellent credit scores), welcome to the next phase of your relationship: schooling airlines and hotels for free vacations. Ah, romance.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\">You may be coming to the table with different cards already. If you both already have cash back cards, fantastic \u2013\u00a0that knocks an easy one out. But if either of you already have some of the premium cards listed above, I\u2019d ask you this:<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\"><em>When did you get them? <\/em>Most of these cards have a dead period where reapplying won\u2019t earn the acquisition bonus again (for example, the Sapphire family of cards used to have a 48-month turnover, increased from its previous 24-month waiting period, but <a href=\"https:\/\/finance.yahoo.com\/personal-finance\/credit-cards\/article\/chase-sapphire-bonus-eligibility-174603244.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">in June 2025<\/a> adopted the same policy as American Express\u2019s haughty \u201conce in a lifetime\u201d situation, meaning you can only earn a sign-up bonus for each card one time, even if you cancel the card and reapply later).<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\">Normally, when you use travel rewards alone, you\u2019d typically wait 90 days between applying for new cards since the spend thresholds occur in 3-month increments (generally speaking) and applying for too much new credit too quickly can send up flares to the credit issuers that you don\u2019t want to deal with.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\">Unless you have crazy high monthly spend or an expense account and you\u2019re able to hit multiple $3,000 or $5,000 thresholds simultaneously, this is going to necessarily slow you down. There are even methods out there (using services like Plastiq) to pay yourself the entire balance in one sitting for a low fee, but since I\u2019ve never vetted those strategies I don\u2019t feel comfortable recommending them just yet.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\">But when you\u2019re doing with a partner\u2026 my friends, everything changes. Consider this example scenario in which a couple who has not yet started travel rewards enters #TheGame at the same time, a blank slate of free shit potential:<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"sqsrte-large\" style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\"><strong>Month 1<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\">Person A (let\u2019s call her Katie, for no reason at all) would get the Chase Sapphire Preferred card. Person B (let\u2019s call him Thomas) would get the Southwest Priority Card.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\">Both of them would work toward earning their respective sign-up bonuses:<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\">75,000 Ultimate Rewards for the Preferred card for Katie, and 50,000 Rapid Rewards points for Thomas. <em>The timing matters for the Southwest card if you\u2019re going to go for Companion Pass; more on that at the bottom of this article.<\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\">Great! Are you keeping track? Things are about to get interesting.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/moneywithkatie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Math.webp\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"sqs-html-content\" data-sqsp-text-block-content=\"\">\n<h3 class=\"sqsrte-large\" style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\"><strong>Month 4<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\">(Months 2 and 3 were spent earning the sign-up bonus by chipping away at the spend thresholds. It goes without saying that spending a bunch of money you wouldn\u2019t normally spend defeats the purpose of travel rewards, so\u2026 don\u2019t do that.)<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\">Now, in Month 4, we experience the #magic for the first time: Katie would refer Thomas to the Preferred card and Thomas would refer Katie to the Priority card (i.e., they\u2019re referring one another to the cards they just got).<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\">Now, Katie will earn 15,000 more points for referring Thomas, and he\u2019ll earn 75,000 points for signing up, and Thomas will earn 20,000 more Rapid Rewards points for referring Katie to the Priority card, who will earn 50,000 points for signing up.<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\"><strong>That nets them, as a couple:<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\">165,000 Chase Ultimate Rewards points<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\">120,000 Southwest Rapid Rewards points<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\">Of course, these are spread across two accounts, but in some cases (Southwest, Marriott, etc.) you\u2019re allowed to transfer your points to someone else. This means if you wanted to bank all your points for one particular co-branded card in one person\u2019s account, you could just transfer them, making the other member of the couple the proxy line of credit.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\">If you\u2019re <strong>married, or \u201cmembers of the same household<\/strong>,\u201d you can transfer Ultimate Rewards points, too.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\">So now, months 5 &amp; 6 will be eaten up earning the next round of bonuses. We\u2019ll check back in with them Month 7.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"sqsrte-large\" style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\"><strong>Month 7<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\">With the Sapphire Preferred and Southwest cards out of the way, we\u2019ll move on to hotels and premium cards.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\">This gets a little hairier with more personal preference, so strap in.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\">Katie will get the Marriott Bonvoy Boundless card for a welcome bonus of 125,000 bonus points and 1 free night, and Thomas will get the Platinum card for the welcome bonus of as high as 175,000 Membership Rewards points.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\">Months 8 and 9 will involve them hitting their individual spend thresholds, so you know the drill.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"sqsrte-large\" style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\"><strong>Month 10<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\">Referral party, and you\u2019re invited! Katie invites Thomas to the Bonvoy card and earns 40,000 bonus points. The Bonvoy welcome bonus for Thomas is the same; 125,000 bonus points and 1 free night.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\">Here\u2019s where the personal preference comes in with the premium cards \u2013\u00a0some couples (especially those who really only travel together) don\u2019t see the need in getting two premium cards with high annual fees like the Platinum, because a lot of the benefits of the Platinum card extend to cover the entire couple while traveling (e.g., elite status at hotels, airport lounge access, the Fine Hotels &amp; Resorts Collection, etc.).<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\">This is totally dependent upon your threshold for acceptable annual fees. Let\u2019s say Thomas refers Katie to the American Express Platinum card.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\">Thomas earns 20,000 points for referring her, and she earns her welcome bonus of as high as 175,000 Membership Rewards points.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\"><strong>With this next set of cards, they\u2019ve collectively netted:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\">370,000 American Express Membership Rewards points<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\">290,000 Marriott Bonvoy points<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\">Are you keeping track? That\u2019s\u2026<\/h4>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\">165,000 Chase Ultimate Rewards points ($2,475 in travel*)<\/p>\n<p class=\"sqsrte-small\" style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\"><em>*An Ultimate Rewards point is valued at approximately 1.5 cents per point.<\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\">120,000 Southwest Rapid Rewards points ($1,680 in travel*)<\/p>\n<p class=\"sqsrte-small\" style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\"><em>*A Rapid Rewards point is valued at approximately 1.4 cents per point.<\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\">370,000 American Express Membership Rewards points ($3,700 in travel*)<\/p>\n<p class=\"sqsrte-small\" style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\"><em>*A Membership Rewards point is valued at approximately 1 cent per point.<\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\">290,000 Marriott Bonvoy points ($2,320 in travel*)<\/p>\n<p class=\"sqsrte-small\" style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\"><em>*A Bonvoy point is valued at approximately 0.8 cents per point.<\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\">For a total of\u2026<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\">945,000 points to share between them worth approximately $10,175 in travel.<\/h4>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\">\u2026and $2,468 in annual fees, or $1,234 per person.<\/p>\n<p>Effectively, you share the benefits and split the cost. The beauty of this, though, is that all the cards recommended here have enough annual repeating benefits to more than offset the annual fees.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\">The tip of the loophole iceberg<\/h2>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\">The TL;DR version of this post is simply: <strong>You refer one another to cards so you can add referral bonuses to your acquisition bonuses<\/strong>, and <strong>traveling with one other person means you can reap the mutual benefits of each other\u2019s points while only paying for your own<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\">But the biggest benefit to traveling as a couple is Southwest Companion Pass, and we haven\u2019t even scratched the surface with Companion Pass yet. The <a href=\"\/blog\/whats-the-southwest-airlines-companion-pass\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Companion Pass strategy <\/a>still works with the strategy above, but remember how I said the timing matters?<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\">You\u2019ll want to hit the spend threshold for the Southwest card early in the calendar year because the clock starts ticking on January 1 \u2013 you have one year to earn 125,000 points, and if you do, you can designate your partner as your Companion to fly free with you every time you do, paying only the taxes and fees ($5.60 each way). This is an incredibly lucrative benefit and the importance of getting it for your points strategy is hard to overstate since it effectively makes your points twice as valuable.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\">The referral bonuses count toward Companion Pass, so in the example above, Thomas would be the member of the couple who\u2019s going for Companion Pass (funny, because in real life it\u2019s the other way around and Thomas is the reluctant participant in my schemes) and he\u2019d have 65,000 points from signing up and 10,000 points from referring Katie.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\">This is why going for Companion Pass when the sign-up bonus is high helps a lot \u2013\u00a0a 65,000-point sign-up bonus + 10,000 referral points gets you to 75,000 right off the bat, leaving only 50,000 to go. Unfortunately, transferring Rapid Rewards points to one another doesn\u2019t count toward Companion Pass, otherwise we\u2019d really be in business.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\">In the meantime\u2026 start firing off your first round of applications and rope your spouse into it.<\/p>\n<p>#<\/p>\n<p><i>Editorial Disclosure: Opinions expressed here are author&#8217;s alone, not those of any bank, credit card issuer, hotel, airline, or other entity.
