Creator's Key Takeaways

The real magic of these points is their flexibility. You can pile them up in your credit account and then when you're ready to book that next cruise, you can transfer them to a ton of different airlines and hotel partners, make your flight for free.

The most important rule in this game, you must, and I mean must, pay your balance in full every single month. Do not carry a balance.

This is the cornerstone of the frugal cruiser method that we are coming up with. Getting to your cruise for less makes the whole vacation significantly more affordable.
