Tired of long lines at immigration or security when traveling? We've got you covered! In this episode, the Travel Mom Squad revisits a favorite topic—Global Entry and TSA PreCheck®—but with a twist. While we've covered these programs before, there are important updates you need to know to make family travel even smoother. Whether you're flying internationally or just looking to breeze through airport security, these tips are a game-changer. New Updates You Can't Miss Since our last discussion on this topic, a major update now allows kids under 18 to get Global Entry for free if their parent or guardian is enrolled. Jess highlights how this policy change can save families hundreds of dollars—especially for large families like Alex's. And if you've ever been frustrated by long wait times for Global Entry interviews, Alex shares how her family took advantage of the new interview-on-arrival option, skipping the months-long backlog to get everyone approved quickly. Jess also mentions that some airports, like San Francisco, are testing departure-day interviews, which could make the process even easier. How to Get It for Free Using Credit Cards Alex dives into the details of credit cards that reimburse Global Entry and TSA PreCheck® application fees. Popular options like the Chase Sapphire Reserve, Capital One Venture, and Amex Platinum cards make it easy to offset the costs. One pro tip: You can use the benefit on someone else's application by paying with your card, so you can help friends and family members enroll too. Between these credits and the new kids-under-18 policy, Global Entry has never been more accessible. Backup Options for Occasional Travelers If you're not ready to commit to Global Entry, Pam suggests Mobile Passport as an alternative. This app offers a shorter immigration line without the application process or fees. While it's not as fast as Global Entry, it's a great backup for infrequent international travelers. The Key to Stress-Free Family Travel Between Global Entry, TSA PreCheck®, and Mobile Passport, there's no reason to deal with long lines at the airport. As Jess says, “Travel days are stressful enough—why not make them as easy as possible?” If you've been putting off enrolling in these programs, this episode is your sign to get started. Tune in now to hear all the details and updates that will make your next family trip a breeze!

Vrinda Gupta is the CEO & Co-Founder of Sequin, the first debit card and banking in U.S. history designed by and for women and minorities. She is a globally recognized credit expert featured by Forbes, ABC7 News, and Fintech Magazine and has been named one of the top 10 women to watch in Fintech.Vrinda helped launch the popular Chase Sapphire Reserve credit card at Visa Inc. But, when she applied for the card she helped create, she was rejected.This inspired Vrinda to act. She quit her job at Visa to found Sequin, to recognize women's financial power and fight against the injustices that opposed it, including credit card debt and the Pink Tax.Money is power - and this proud first-generation Indian immigrant is on a mission to design a world where women have more of both. You can sign up for Sequin today completely fee-free at sequincard.com/shebelievedshecould.Memorable Moments:“The pink tax is a well-documented phenomenon where women are paying more for everyday products and services 42% of the time, which adds up to thousands of dollars a year, and hundreds of thousands a lifetime.” “As women and minorities, we are not having conversations that are necessary to be successful in the financial world. We feel at fault and alone in our unknowingness, but most hardships have stemmed from a system that is steeped in the patriarchy.” When fundraising, it's important to find mission-driven investors, recognize that you don't need to know wealthy people to recruit support, and never, ever under-sell yourself.“It is so important to have accounts in your own name. Whether that's a bank account or a credit card, it is important to set yourself up for success by knowing the steps.”Every woman is a walking billion dollar opportunity because we have been continually underserved.

Ever wonder whether the Chase Sapphire Preferred or Chase Sapphire Reserve is the right card for you? Well, today we're diving deep into both to help you figure out which card might fit your wallet better. Hey, we're the Travel Mom Squad (Pam, Jess, and Alex), and in today's chat, we're breaking down everything you need to know about these two popular cards from Chase. From the nitty-gritty of their benefits to the best ways to utilize their perks, we've got you covered. The Chase Sapphire Preferred is our go-to recommendation for those new to the points game. With a lower annual fee and solid rewards, it's a powerhouse for anyone starting out. On the flip side, the Chase Sapphire Reserve is like the Preferred's big sibling, with a heftier fee but a ton of premium perks. Think $300 travel credit that you can use for just about anything travel-related, from taxis to flights, which makes its higher fee more palatable. Both cards have their merits, and the best one for you depends heavily on how much you travel and what kinds of benefits you value most. If you're a frequent traveler who loves splurging on travel and dining, the Reserve might be up your alley. But if you're just dipping your toes into the world of travel rewards, the Preferred might be a better fit. So, are you ready to pick a card that aligns with your travel aspirations and spending habits? Join us as we delve into the details, share our personal experiences, and maybe, just maybe, help you decide which card will earn a spot in your wallet. Remember, the right card for you is the one that matches your travel style and budget. Hit play to get the full scoop and kickstart your journey with the right Chase card for you!

For a limited time, Spencer is offering one-on-one Military Money Coaching sessions! Get your personal military money and investing questions answered in a confidential coaching call. Military families can earn 1 million points without annual fees?! You're not going to earn a lot of points from spending. You need to focus on earning welcome bonuses. We'll teach out how in the free Ultimate Military Credit Cards course. Main points today: How to earn 1,000,000 credit card points without annual fees 1. Greatest bang for your buck comes from welcome bonuses 2. Referral bonuses 3. Spending category maximazation Value of 1 million points: $10,000 minimum, $11,000 cashout value, or $20,000+ when you transfer to a travel partner. Ways to maximize your points earning: 1. Use welcome bonuses more than spending for points 2. Use transferable points (like American Express) more than specific airline or hotel cards 3. Earn towards a specific redemption goal For example, if a business card offers $750 back after spending $6,000 in 3 months, that's 12.5% effective cash back! Or even better, you can pair with CSR and use at points in travel portal 18% cash back. To take it one step further, you can transfer to Hyatt or United, for example, and earn 2 cents and 25% cash back. Another example: Amex Platinum 150,000 offer, and you spend all $8,000 requirement on airfare. That's 5 pts per dollar (extra 40,000 points), 190,000 points earned for $8,000 spent = 47.5% effective cash back rate! Even an 80,000 point offer after $6,000 spend would be 13% effective rate... way better than the average cash back card. You can refer your spouse or friends (details in episode 26) Keep earning your points easy with 3 simple rules we use- 1. Gold card for dining and groceries 4x (not Platinum's 1 point per dollar) 2. Amex Platinum for flights (5 pts per dollar) 3. Chase Sapphire Reserve for travel and hotels (3 pts per dollar) Our new TSP course is live!

Hey there, points people! Today, I'm talking to Jessica Adza from @worldtravelista1. Jessica has been a frequent traveler since 1999 and fell in love with Italy at an early age. In this episode, she shares tips on saving money while traveling in Italy, including travel tricks for flights, train tickets, car rentals, and travel insurance. We also discuss the best time to visit Italy and the importance of understanding Italian culture. Jessica and I discuss how she utilizes cards to get auto insurance when she rents cars during a trip. If you're thinking about renting cars during your travel, consider the Chase Sapphire Reserve, which comes with primary auto insurance. Remember, if you decide to apply for the Chase Sapphire Reserve or any other card, never apply directly through Google – always use a friend or creator's referral link.

BEFORE YOU GO ON YOUR TRIP -PUT IN YOUR PHONE-The closest State Dept phone number of your destination. ALSO PUT IN YOUR PHONE The U.S. Department of State's Office of Overseas Citizens Services (888) 407-4747 (or from overseas +1 202-501-4444) can assist U.S. citizens who are temporarily destitute abroad. -THINGS TO BRING-Bring a color photocopy of the picture page of your passport overseas. Also, snap a picture of your passport to have on your phone. 0r 1 of the following items. A photocopy of your birth certificate or an expired passport can be used as proof of identity and proof of citizenship all in one. WHAT TO DO IF YOUR PASSPORT IS LOST OR STOLEN 1. Report loss or theft to US Authorities DS-64 forms-Statement of Valid Lost or Stolen US Passport. Form Questions-Explain in detail when your valid US passport was lost or stolen. Explain where the loss or theft occurred. Explain what date the loss or theft occurred. https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/passports/have-passport/lost-stolen.html Once you have reported your passport lost or stolen, the State Department invalidates it. You cannot use it if you find it. 2. Apply for a replacement GO TO THE US EMBASSY NEAR YOU. Most U.S. embassies and consulates cannot issue passports on weekends or holidays. I noticed in France that applications for emergency passports are on a walk-in basis ONLY from 8a-9a Monday through Friday at the Paris State Dept. Once you get to the embassy you have to fill out DS-11 form- Application for a US Passport. Provide a birth certificate or photocopy of a birth certificate. Or hospital birth records or published birth announcements like a newspaper article. Proof of identity-Driver's license. Previous passport. 2 x 2 passport photo taken less than 6 months ago. No eyeglasses, no head coverings, no uniforms. Plain white or off white background. The State Dept can help you with this. I take a passport photo on my phone. If you have urgent travel plans, the State Dept. can issue a limited-validity, emergency passport that can be produced more quickly to allow you to return to the U.S. or continue on your trip. Once you return home, you can turn in your emergency passport and receive a full-validity passport. By the way, when you get a new passport it will have a NEW NUMBER! https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/passports/need-passport/apply-in-person.html 3. Pay up As of this date the cost of a replacement passport is $130. The good news is that if you had Global Entry linked with your old passport, you will not need to apply and pay for the program again. Simply log in to the Global Entry system to update it with your new passport number when you receive it. 4. Check your travel protection benefits Travel insurance might also help in covering flight change fees or additional expenses, especially if a police report can show that a passport was stolen and not just misplaced. This type of travel protection comes included the American Express® Green Card and the Chase Sapphire Preferred® Card and Chase Sapphire Reserve®.
This week is all about airport lounges! Have you ever wanted to get into an airport lounge? Do you ever wonder how people get to go to those exclusive places before a flights?

Welcome to #Millennial, the home of pretend adulting and real submersible talk! We're certainly hoping for good news for the five aboard the Titan submersible, but we can't help but marvel at the hubris and lack of regulations that got us here. UPDATE: Bud Light is no longer the number 1 selling beer in the US: it has been replaced by Modelo Especial. Andrew strikes back: after being triggered last week by Laura's character assassination of Corona Light, Andy stands in defense of his beloved pilsner style lager. Illinois is banning... book bans! They're the first state to do this in response to local and national increases in book banning attempts in the last year. Can the Biden admin really tout their latest achievement re: Ticketmaster as a crackdown on junk fees? Sure, consumers can expect to start seeing these upfront now, but it doesn't (yet) prevent ticket companies from charging these fees. Reddit, aka "the front page of the internet" is under fire due to another douchey tech CEO doing douchey tech CEO things. Reddit announced that they will begin charging developers for API calls to Reddit servers, resulting in a potential yearly cost of $20 million for developers who maintain third party Reddit apps. The rub? These third party apps are widely regarded to be better than Reddit's official one! To top the drama off, CEO Steve Huffman has been mishandling communications on the subject and threatening Reddit's community of unpaid moderators. In response, thousands of subreddits have gone dark, and many others have begun posting explicit content in protest. And because life isn't crazy enough, a global cyber attack successfully breached several government agencies and private companies last week, including the US Department of Energy, Shell Oil, and University of Georgia, among others. While we're on the topic of security, let's talk credit card security! We share our tips and tricks for keeping your credit cards secure, and make some recommendations around our favorite credit cards. Andrew's a big fan of the Chase Sapphire Reserve credit card This week's recommendations are all over the place: Keep an eye on SCOTUS decisions to be released Thursday for potential student loan updates (Laura), NerdWallet (Pam), and 'The Other Two' for the best depictions (and predictions) of Hollywood (Andrew). And in this week's installment of After Dark, available on Patreon and Apple Podcasts: There's nothing more cringe than a workplace icebreaker, and we're inspired to discuss them and childhood cringe by this tweet. We each bring a never before shared childhood cringe story - some of these revelations are SHOCKING! We each bring our own ice breaker question to the table, and pose them to each other.
