Notes from the Bride: Credit Card Perks
I have recently suggested one thing to three newly engaged gals and I realized I’ve never shared it with y’all.
What could this groundbreaking tip be?!?!
It’s one thing that my husband and I did when we were newly engaged and it honestly helped fund our honeymoon. And to be honest, he did way more legwork on this than I did.
Okay, he did all the work.
Any guesses as to what he did?
Are you excited to think the groom can have a task in wedding planning too?
Here it is….we found a credit card that had the best perks for US.
Let me explain…we wanted to put every little or big wedding expense on this credit card for many reasons.
A quick note. If you’re still in the budget planning stage, read some notes from the bride about A Real Wedding Budget.
First off, we earned vacation points when doing so, which was a huge motivator for us. It helped to cover the cost of our flights for our honeymoon, the car rental, and our lodging. If I told you it almost paid for our entire trip, I would not be exaggerating. Seriously!
Secondly, it gave us a true running record of ALL of our expenses for the wedding. A big expense or a small one, it didn’t matter. Everything went on this credit card. And it was super simple when I needed to return or exchange something because I knew exactly what card I used to pay for it.
Lastly, it started our credit together as a couple. Yes, I had to eventually update the credit card company with my new last name, but as you can see it’s totally worth it!
Maybe you already have a credit card with perks, if so make sure you’re using those perks!
If not, I highly encourage you to look into something like this!
