The best gift you can ever give someone is the gift of travel and experiences. Did you know I now offer Travel gift cards? Why say it with flowers, chocolates, or other consumables, when you can say it with a warm breeze as you step off the airplane, the refreshing smell of salty sea air ?? , the kiss of the summer sun ? or the feel of sand between your toes instead? Or perhaps even with an Aston Martin driving experience ?? , or a London West End show ?? ? These are really popular amongst businesses of all sizes to use as employee incentives and appreciation. Well rested employees are happy employees! They are also very popular amongst honeymooners, but they great for just about anybody, for various reasons: ?Safe: The money is held in a completely secure, ringfenced Trust account until it is used by the giftee. No risk of it disappearing or being inappropriately managed. ?Digital or Physical: You can choose to give either a digital gift card or a physical gift card. ?Flexible: The gift card can be used on a whole range of travel or experiences. Including things like car hire, flights, or a cruise with their favourite cruise line. Thanks to trade partnerships, there are no limitations. They can even use it against their annual EasyJet, Jet2, or Tui holidays if they wish. ?Valuable: The complete value is retained. No losing 1-5% of it for management fees. If you put ￡100 on the card, the giftee gets ￡100 to spend. ?Control: Your giftee has the freedom of complete control and a wide variety of choice, but with a gentle nudge towards exploring more of the world through the beauty of travel and experiences. Creating lasting, and fond forever memories. ?Unlimited: You can load your gift card with as much, or as little as you like and there are no limitations as to how many you can order.

Many biz owners spend $15k+/month. But get $0 in travel rewards. The problem? Two leaky buckets: 1/ Unoptimized spending → Paying with cash → Using debit cards → Using cards w/ lousy rewards → Earning points they don't need 2/ Unoptimized redemptions → Cashback → Gift cards → Travel portal → Statement credits You can fix these two things in just a few hours with some guidance! Spend $15k a month? You should get $5-20k/yr in free travel. Spend $50k a month? You should get $20-50k/yr in free travel. I recently helped a client increase their travel rewards by 2-3x. Another client found $100k+ in extra rewards with a few tweaks. Points & miles are wild! ~~~ Want to level up your travel? Upgrade to biz class? Book 5-star suites? Save thousands? DM me to discuss! PS: We leave for our (free) private island adventure this Friday. Follow to get the details!

Susan's Getaways - Tips for staying at an all-inclusive resort! 1. Save any important information regarding your trip and contact numbers. If your phone loses signal you will still have access to this information. 2. We recommend making copies of your passports to have all of your information handy if you go off site or if they get lost. Leave these copies in the safe in your room. 3. Call your credit card company and let them know you will be out of the country. Ask if there are any international charges for using it out of the country. 4. Take some money for tips or a little spending money. $1s and $5s are good. Gratuities are included at the resort, so it is up to you if you would like to tip someone that goes above and beyond. 5. Check with your cellphone provider about international charges. We recommend turning off your mobile data and connecting to WiFi. WhatsApp is also a great app to send international texts. Enjoy your stay! As always, you can reach out to us with any questions before, during, and after your stay. 513-202-3536 SusansGetaways.com follow for more tips

*** Travel Hack *** My travel plans changed suddenly last week (invited to a Family Office lunch in Abu Dhabi and had planned to fly from Doha to Riyadh that day) and thought it instructive to show the value of using Aeroplan points on non-Canada flights. The economy class flight on Etihad was AED 787 (~CAD200) so the use of points to get a seat is not that advantageous - it works out to about 1.3c per point. Take note that I buy points for 1.5-1.7c or so, so not a great rate. But looking at business class (so many benefits, priority check-in/baggage/+2 pieces included/security/boarding/nice seats...) has a cash price about $1,400 or a cost per mile used of ~8.7c. Let's just say that, given the choice, I'd book in business for all of the advantages listed above. Since it's close to the date, the timing is pretty brutal (get to the airport at 3am) but only this one can get me there for the lunch...and this after a Google search! For those who look to jet around a region (same for my PacRim flights in May), using points to get business class is the best use of points. The worst: gift cards.
