Just Get Me to Hawaii, Jack!

Let's face it. We all want to go to Hawaii but know that going there most likely will kill most of our wallets. Or so we think. There are two credit cards out there that can help you get to the island life a lot easier and a lot cheaper. Both cards are the same, have the same benefits and bonus points, but are issued from two different banks. The first is the Bank of Hawaii Hawaiian Airlines Visa and the second is the Bank of America Hawaiian Airlines Visa. Both cards come with a 20,000 bonus upon first use of the card. Then when you spend $1,000 within four months of receiving the card you will get an extra 15,000 points! That's a cool 70,000 points if you get both cards and spending $2,000 within four months. (Remember, you should have a credit score of 700 or over before you think about applying for these cards)

The award chart for using Hawaiian Airline miles is here. Round trip flights from the mainland to Hawaii will cost you anywhere from 40,000 in economy to 160,000 in first class. So with your bonus points from the credit card sign ups you'll easily have at least one free round trip!

Below are the features of both cards:

  

  • Earn up to 35,000 Bonus HawaiianMiles after qualifying purchase(s)
  • 2,000 Anniversary HawaiianMiles every year on your account anniversary
  • Receive a one-time 50% round-trip travel discount from Hawaii to North America for a companion travelling on the same itinerary.
  • Earn 1 HawaiianMile® for every dollar spent in net retail purchases
  • 24-hour Online Credit Card Account Access (fiacardservices.com)
  • No mileage earning cap
  • 24/7 complimentary Concierge Service
  • Purchase Replacement, Common Carrier Travel Accident Insurance, Travel and Emergency Assistance, and Auto Rental Collision Damage Waiver.** (Please contact FIA Card Services at
    1-877-212-5642 for additional information) 

And Rewards:

  • Access to discounted awards between Hawaii and Mainland U.S. (based on availability)
  • Earn 2 HawaiianMiles for every dollar you spend on tickets purchased directly from Hawaiian Airlines and when using your card in-flight
  • Earn up to 10 additional HawaiianMiles for every qualifying dollar you spend at participating HawaiianMiles XtraMiles partners
  • ShareMiles, cardholders can receive miles from family and friends online for faster award travel
  • More seat selection at time of ticket purchase 
So what are you waiting for!? Get closer to spending some quality time in the Hawaiian islands for less!

You can also download the Hawaiian Airlines toolbar here and receive 1 point per every 3 valid searches. I've used it for a couple months now and have received over 1,000 free miles just for using their search bar! Talk about easy.

Check Your Credit Scores

There are ways of getting your credit scores that most people know about, but it isn't free. If you want to be able to check your scores for free, I have a couple of options for you. I use both to check my scores monthly to make sure everything is going good and I am keeping up my good credit. The two places to check them are: Credit Karma Credit Sesame   They both also have Iphone apps for easy access if you want to check them on the go. Both are 100% free and I have been using them for almost a year now. Ever since I started churning cards a year ago my credit has fluctuated about 10 points up or down which isn't a lot and not what the average person would think. Getting credit cards and earning miles and points in the process can actually help build your credit score! Have no fear!

Day Tripping: Orvieto

Image
There are quite a few day trips you can take if you're based in Rome on vacation. You can head south to Naples, Pompeii (Mt. Vesuvius) or the Amalfi coast. You'll want to spend more than a day around the mountainside/seaside towns along the Amalfi coast though. Save a few days to explore this stunningly beautiful part of Italy. If you head east, you can visit Tivoli where you'll see two famous villas. Villa Adriana is the former emperor Hadrian's huge estate during the 2nd Century and Villa d'este, the Renaissance era estate with lavish gardens. Head north and you can check out the city of Florence or Pisa which also falls into the basket of 'you should stay a few days here.' But a gem halfway to Florence and a perfect day trip in Tuscany lies the quaint town of Orvieto. Orvieto funicular via Orvietoviva.com A popular destination only about 75 miles north of Rome lies this beautiful, serene hilltop town (It actually sits on a large, flat...
