The goal of Help Me Travel Cheap is to show newbies how to use credit card sign up bonuses to earn free flights. If you’re new to the frequent flyer game then this blog is for you.
Growing up, I used to think only the rich could afford to travel.
Wow. Was I ever wrong.
Hi! I’m Craig Ford, and I own, write for, and maintain the Help Me Travel Cheap blog.
At Help Me Travel Cheap, you’ll learn just that – how to travel cheap. Imagine there were three people sitting on a plane in row 35 A, B, and C. The guy in 35A paid $350 for his ticket. The gal in 35B paid $150. Finally, the guy in 35C (that’s me – and I hope you, too) paid $5.
Which would you rather be?
If you wish you were the person who paid $150 or even $5, then you’re at the right place!
The purpose of this blog is to help you have the most memorable and cheapest family vacations possible.
The cheapest way to travel I frequently find is by taking advantage of credit card sign up bonuses. That’s why this blog focuses on credit card related topics (and occasionally touches on other cheap travel topics).
The information on this blog can be used by a travel rookie or seasoned travel professional.
If you are a travel rookie, you should check out my partner blog, Travel Free Coach, where I can help teach you everything you need to know to get almost free vacations. The best place for you to start is by reading my free eBook How to Earn Frequent Flyer Miles from the Comfort of Your Living Room. Then you can request a free credit card consult to be sure you’re maximizing your credit card earning opportunities.
About Craig
Along with my wife and three kids, I live in Papua New Guinea. We are seasoned travelers who have dragged our young kids around the globe. Before having kids, my wife and I enjoyed traveling and thought when we had kids we would kiss traveling goodbye. However, nothing could be further than the truth. Living off one income, we still get to do our fair share of traveling.
I also address other frequent flyer redemption related topics at http://travelfreecoach.com.
Occasionally, you’ll notice some articles by my wife, Jeri. She has given some great family travel tips that have been posted on this blog.
