Travel Freely has helped us stay organized so we can maximize our travel budget for bucket list trips!
It’s the secret weapon we’ve been using to turn our travel dreams into reality—Travel Freely. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by keeping track of multiple credit cards, welcome offers, or even knowing where to start with traveling on points, let us introduce you to your new travel BFF.
What is Travel Freely?
In short, it’s an app designed to make your points-and-miles life a wholeeeee lot easier.
It’s kind of like having a super-organized, always-up-to-date, personal assistant dedicated to making sure you never miss a welcome bonus or get blind-sided by those annual fees.
Plus, it’s 100% free—no strings attached.

Why We Love It (and You Will Too!)
When we started diving into credit card points and miles, we knew it would be a lot to keep track of—like, how do you even remember all those card due dates and minimum spend deadlines without losing your mind? 🤪
That’s where Travel Freely comes in and saves the day. Let us break down some of our favorite features:
Your Travel Freely home page has all your important information at the ready!
1. Keeps Us Organized—Without Storing Sensitive Info!
Imagine having every single one of your cards listed neatly in one place. You won’t need to remember welcome bonus deadlines or pull out your hair when trying to find that one email from the day you first opened the card. Plus, you get all the benefits of organization without worrying about someone hacking your credit card number. This was HUGE for us when we were just getting started. Simple & safe.
2. Automatic Reminders So You Never Miss a Thing
Opening multiple cards to rack up points? Same. 🙌 With that comes keeping track of annual fees, your 5/24 window, and deadlines for reaching your minimum spend. Travel Freely emails automated reminders so you don’t miss a thing—because let’s be real, we’ve got better things to do than manually track those dates (like, you know… take vacations for nearly free. 😏) Thanks to these reminders, we’ve nailed deadlines every time, making trips to Greece, Mexico, and even London for practically free.
3. Card Genie: The Ultimate Cheat Code
Ok, this feature is hands-down our favorite! The CardGenie makes personalized card recommendations based on what’s already in your wallet. No more guessing which card you should get next or scouring tons of blog posts for advice (well, unless it’s THIS blog). Just open the app, let the CardGenie do its thing, and boom—you’ve got expert advice on your next move.
4. Best Offers Always—Even If They Don’t Make a Commission
One of the toughest parts of starting out in points and miles is figuring out which credit cards to apply for and knowing if you’re getting the best deal. Affiliate links vs. bank websites—it’s all a blur sometimes! Travel Freely cuts through the noise. They only share the highest welcome offers, even if they don’t make a commission from it. Talk about integrity, right? No stress. No guessing games. Just points in the bank. 💰
5. A Resource Wonderland
Whether you’re looking for beginner’s resources or answers to specific credit card questions, Travel Freely’s blog and in-app resource guides have you covered. It gave us the confidence we needed to dive into the world of points and miles headfirst—and we haven’t looked back since!
CardGenie will give you customized recommendations based on what cards you already have in your wallet, while also considering any limited-time elevated welcome offers!
