Adventure travel around the world can be expensive. Not only should you follow our money saving tips for travel before you start on your travels. But you also need to think about how you are going to most wisely spend your money while you travel each day.
And with more and more couples and families wanting to travel, you have to make sure that not only can you experience all the adventures in the world, but you also have to be able to afford them too!
Take radio DJ and mum of four, Jo Whiley as an example. Travelling with the family is a real passion for her, and as an ambassador for the American Express Preferred Rewards Gold Card she says:
“It’s important to me that my children get to experience different cultures and see the world, so we try to travel frequently as a family. I have four children with ages ranging from 4-20 years so when I look for a holiday the key thing is finding something that is right for everyone, so we’re all happy and we stay within budget, as with six of us, the costs can mount up!”
“For me, having an American Express Gold Card makes total sense – it gives me the flexibility to create the perfect holiday for the family. I get points from things that I buy every day, like supermarket shopping and petrol and can spend these on the high street and online to help with my pre-holiday shop. I can also put my points towards flights or hire car upgrades and hotel costs so that we can treat ourselves to a few little luxuries on our trip, whilst keeping within our budget.”
