There are other ways to do it, for instance, manufactured spending; however, if you haven’t taken the time to research those topics, you’ll be left with a bunch of hard credit pulls, no bonuses, and likely a balance on your credit cards.4) You have no clear goals set in regards to travel or cash backAs I said somewhere above, credit cards typically fall into 3 categories.

-Greg McKeownSaving and intentional spending is habit for many of us but it's not for most of society and there is very little teaching on the subject. 

I tend to head to Rochester at least once a month anyway to see family so it really hasn't added that much additional travel... 

Colorado City does have a guy (or used to if the taxes still cover his wages) but I don't think he would bother to travel there. 

It could work if you were able to stay a month or two at a time, especially if you were traveling to these places anyway and wanted to make extra money while traveling.  

I average 45 hour work weeks and am hoping to cut back quite a bit to be able to travel and explore this world. 

I travel a lot for rock climbing? 

The hassle of traveling on weekends that I book tours is not the best so Air BnB is the choice for now.For right now I will keep a room on Air BnB.
