Paying for College with Travel Points, 65k Southwest Card Bonus

See our Advertiser Disclosure here.

Paying for College with Travel Points: I love this post from Mark on Miles to Memories. He is documenting how he is saving up for his kids’ college fund line by line with bank bonuses, credit card bonuses, etc. I know many of us had our trips postponed this year and don’t necessarily need the miles and hotel points right now. This is a great alternative use of brain power and resources.

U.S. State Department Lifts “Do Not Travel” Warning: See this post on Running for Miles for a breakdown of what this really means. While some other countries might be safe for tourism, you still have to make it through potentially long, crowded flights to get there. No, thanks.
