✨ PSA: Weekend getaways aren’t just a luxury—they’re a relationship essential. ✨

Because let’s be real… between work, errands, and that never-ending to-do list, quality time can start to feel like a myth. But escaping for even two nights? That’s where the magic happens. New scenery, no distractions, just you and your person, reconnecting over sunsets and room service (or, let’s be honest, probably snacks in bed).

Drop your favorite weekend getaway spot in the comments! Let’s inspire some spontaneous trips. ⬇️✈️

We spend a third of our life in bed, you better make it a great one! ☁️🛌😴

We swear the bedding at The Ritz-Carlton is woven from actual clouds and dreams. Hands down the best sleep of our lives! …So obviously, the second we got home, we ordered the entire set because there was no way we were going back to regular sleep.

We’ve officially ruined ourselves. If a mattress isn’t fluffy as a cloud and the sheets don’t feel like butter on our skin, we don’t want it. Thanks, Ritz, for setting the bar way too high.

Send the to your travel partner! 💳 Are You Making This Common Credit Card Points Mistake?

When it comes to redeeming credit card points for travel, using the travel eraser or booking through your credit card’s travel portal might sound easy—but it’s costing you way more points than necessary.

👀 Here’s an example: We stayed at the gorgeous Grand Hyatt in Palm Springs during a holiday weekend. The cash price for 3 nights? Over $1,800.

✨ Travel eraser cost: 180,000 points
✨ Booking via Chase portal: 100,000+ points
✨ What we did instead: Transferred 60,000 Chase points to Hyatt and booked directly through their app.

We saved 120,000+ points by leveraging transfer partners! 🙌

💡 Pro Tip: Always check if your credit card allows points transfers to hotel or airline programs for a better redemption value. This strategy can help you stretch your points and travel for next to nothing!

Best Tips for Scoring Travel Tuesday Deals

Travel Tuesday is a golden opportunity to snag incredible deals on flights, hotels, and vacation packages. Here’s how to make the most of it:

⏰ Start Planning Early

Treat Travel Tuesday like a big event. Have your dream destinations in mind, compare prices beforehand, and set a budget. Being prepared ensures you can act quickly when deals go live.

📝 Sign Up for Alerts

Subscribe to airlines, travel booking sites, and deal alert services. They’ll notify you of promotions in real-time, saving you hours of scrolling. Apps like Hopper and Google Flights are also great tools for deal tracking.

📆 Be Flexible with Travel Dates and Destinations

The more flexible you are, the better your chances of snagging a deal. Midweek flights or off-peak travel seasons often have the lowest fares.

🤓 Check for Extra Fees

A deal isn’t a deal if hidden fees pile up. Watch for baggage costs, resort fees, or cancellation restrictions. Always read the fine print.

🚨 Set Price Alerts in Advance

Before Travel Tuesday, set alerts on your favorite travel platforms. This way, you’ll know what’s genuinely a discount versus regular pricing dressed up as a “deal.”

💳 Use Reward Points or Credit Card Perks

Some credit cards offer bonus points or cashback during holiday shopping events. Combine these perks with Travel Tuesday deals to maximize your savings.
