If you're a recent visitor to my blog you may not know that we typically travel using rewards points. We stick to using points with United, Delta, Marriott and IHG (Holiday Inn) programs.
This trip to Hawaii was no different, we used the following points:
- 135,000 United MileagePlus Points + $33.60 (45,000 + $11.20 per person)
- 220,000 Marriott Bonvoy Points + $150 for hotel parking (for a 5 night stay)
- $360 for rental car
Adding all of that up we're looking at $543.60 for a 6 day/5 night stay on Hawaii Island for three people.
Of course we had other expenses like renting snorkel gear, whale watching tour, manta ray snorkel, food/drink and gas. But our starting point was just under $550 when it could have been between $5,000 - $6,000 if we had booked hotel, air and car individually.
I highly recommend reading posts from The Points Guy and One Mile at a Time if your wanting to learn more and are interesting in taking vacations for next to nothing! If you're interested in starting the points and miles game use my referral links below to start collecting points! I can be rewarded too if you apply here and are approved for the card.
