I’m a big proponent of traveling with just a carry-on luggage and backpack. Especially when I know that I’ll be moving from place to place, and taking lots of different types of public transportation. Having a carry-on with spinner wheels have afforded me and my family to do that.
If you’re not picky with picking a luggage, here’s a carry-on luggage that won’t break the bank. It’s perfect for your travels, and have been known as “surprisingly durable and highly recommended for the price.”
The Carry-On Hardcase Dual Color Expandable Spinner In Navy offers a 2-tone color trim on black combination to make this case distinctive and highly visible. The 4 multi directional spinner wheels offer unsurpassed upright maneuverability. The 100% ABS construction absorbs impact. Fully lined interior features two maincompartments, zipper and non-zipper pockets and tie-down elastic straps. Expands up to 2 for extra space. Top and side handles make it easy to lift.

As I mentioned before from our last trip to Japan, it was thanks to points earned with our Chase Sapphire Reserve, and Chase Sapphire Preferred(click here).
We used 37,000 Chase Ultimate Rewards, easily earned when you apply for those credit cards and when Chase awards you the sign-up bonus. The Chase Sapphire Preferred (click here) is a perfect starter card. With its 60,000 bonus points, those points alone have gotten us two tickets to Hawaii, just as an example. The sign up bonus alone can be worth as much as $1,000 or more in travel.
– 60,000 Ultimate Rewards sign up bonus after $4,000 in spend in the first three months (as of April 2019 – this is subject to change)
– Points are transferable to:

If I were just starting out in earning miles and points, I suggest starting out with this card.
You can also earn these Ultimate Rewards from other Chase credit cards such as the:

The points earned with Chase are one of my prized points-earning possessions. They’ve allowed us travel to many parts of the world for nearly free.
For this latest trip to Japan where we will be flying first class, I give credit to points earned with our American Express Cards. Nancy and I took advantage of the 100,000 points sign-up bonus with American Express Platinum cards, and we signed up for the other cards that offered lucrative sign ups. Follow the links to the cards, and know that in order to get the bonus points, you have meet the required spending. Some of these cards also have annual fees:
