Breakdown: Marie will pay for two nights of the reservation with her card and Rich will pick up the

A few weeks ago I remember reading about a great airfare out of New York/JFK Airport to Martha los angeles high school s Vineyard  and coincidentally a friend on Long Island asked me if I knew of any good deals to get away with his wife for a few days to either Nantucket or Martha s Vineyard.  Personally, I ve never had the opportunity to experience the Vineyard , and considering I lived in Massachusetts for over 20 years, I consider it one of my bigger failures in local travel.  I m just glad I could help a friend (Rich and Marie) out here.
Both Rich and Marie have flexible work schedules but can really only get away for 3-4 days at a time.  With strong 770 credit scores, we re going to have each of them grab a single los angeles high school credit card to cover their expenses los angeles high school and keep their quick vacation a manageable expense.
Rich and Marie s Itinerary: A friend will drop them off at JFK and they ll leave on Sunday, los angeles high school June 8th, flying Delta non-stop to Martha s Vineyard. They ll spend 3 nights at Isabelle s beach house and then fly back on Wednesday to JFK; again with a friend picking them up.
Breakdown:  A pair of round-trip economy ticket from New York/JFK to Martha s Vineyard with Delta comes in at $317. Rich will book the tickets with his Arrival card and when his sign-up bonus posts to his account, he ll redeem 31,700 of them to cover the cost of the flights. After the redemption, los angeles high school he ll get 3,170 miles back leaving him with 17,470 (14,300 + 3,170) miles (or $174.70 of additional reimbursement he can do).
Breakdown:  Marie will pay for two nights of the reservation with her card and Rich will pick up the third night. At a total estimated cost of $192.50 (including taxes) per night, Marie will use 38,500 miles, Since she is getting 10% of her redeemed miles back, this will leave her with 11,350 miles.  Rich will use all of his 17,470 miles and end up paying $18 out of pocket. With breakfast included each morning, they ll be able to start the day lazy and relaxed!
Rich and Marie won t be using a car. Bicycles will be their mode of transportation while on the Vineyard. The benefit of the Arrival card for both of them is that they don t have to wait for the sign-up bonus to post in order to book their stay. They ll make their purchases as soon as they have their cards and when they meet the spending requirements, they can go back up to 90 days in the past to redeem their miles in the form of statement credits towards their travel expenses.
los angeles high school The 40,000 point sign-up bonus, generous 2 point payout los angeles high school on all spending, and ability to redeem for cash or travel at a decent ratio, make this a great card. With points being redeemable at either 1.1 cents per point for travel or 0.5 cents per point for statement credits, cardholders can get decent value out of their earnings. The statement credit is worth $440 towards travel and the $89 annual fee is waived the first year.
