Heading out west is a fantastic summer vacation idea. Time outdoors, exploring National Parks and hiking in Colorado can make for a perfect family holiday. 

Economy edition:  United is offering cheap and easy flights to make getting there super reasonable. So, whether you pay for this flight in points or in cash, this can be a great opportunity to get out there and make some unforgettable summer memories. Not sure where to start? The elevated welcome offer on this card makes it easy to have more than enough points to cover this adventure and more!

Business class edition: Word on the street over here in the points + miles world is that there have been a TON of business class reward seats released for just 50,000 points for travel from the US to Europe for the rest of this year. This is a HUGE opportunity to fly business class for a very low amount of points! For many, utilizing points + miles for luxury business/first class travel is the goal because otherwise, these seats are astronomically expensive! So, naturally, I went digging and found this flight to be an amazing opportunity to fly to Europe for nearly nothing. 

Let me paint the picture: by opening this card, you could fly ROUND TRIP to Europe! Pretty picture, huh? Now, with any points + miles redemption, you do have to pay taxes/fees. For this particular trip airline taxes/fees are $200, and for a business class intercontinental flight, I’m good with it.
