Creator's Key Takeaways

What if I told you that some cruisers are getting hundreds of dollars off of their cruise, not by searching for deals, but by using the right credit card for purchases they're already making.

The right credit card can help you cover or offset all of these charges. The wrong credit card, well, you get nothing.

So, if we take a look and you're spending $24,000 per year times, let's just say 2 miles, that equals 48,000 miles, which totals $480 in travel credits.

This cruise hack is only going to work if you pay your credit card off every month. Don't be paying interest on these cards.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Choose a credit card with no foreign transaction fees and travel rewards.
Pay your credit card off every month to avoid interest and earn points.
Redeem points for onboard credit or cruise discounts before your sailing.
Check your card's travel insurance coverage for cruise-related emergencies.
