Is there a downside to having multiple credit cards open?

No. Having multiple credit cards can actually improve your credit score by lowering utilization and increasing available credit.

Do I need to spend a minimum each month to qualify for travel benefits?

Most cards do not require a monthly minimum. Some cards have annual spending thresholds, like $75,000 on the Amex Platinum for extra lounge guest access.

How long before a trip should we reach out?

The earlier the better. Airlines publish schedules 11–12 months out, and while award seats aren’t always released immediately, it helps to plan ahead.

Is there a minimum salary needed to qualify for your services?

No. Clients with both small and large annual spends can benefit. Strategies to maximize points and miles work regardless of income level.

What is the best credit card?

There is no single best card. The right choice depends on your spending habits, travel goals, and preferred transfer partners.
