A few of the biggest myths travelers still believe:

“𝐁𝐮𝐭 𝐦𝐲 𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐭 𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐝 𝐡𝐚𝐬 𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐯𝐞𝐥 𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞!” 💳👀
I hear this one often. And yes, some travel credit cards offer protections… but they may not cover nearly as much as you think.
A recent survey found that travelers were surprised by some of the biggest gaps:
🚨 Many cards have limited cancellation reasons and coverage caps, often around $10,000 per person
🚨 Some only cover trips when the entire fare is charged to that card
🚨 Paying with points, miles or multiple cards can affect your coverage
🚨 Most offer little to no emergency medical coverage overseas
🚨 Pre-existing conditions may not be covered
And here's the big one: 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐫𝐞𝐠𝐮𝐥𝐚𝐫 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐡 𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐦𝐚𝐲 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐜𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐚𝐲 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐭 𝐨𝐮𝐭𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐔.𝐒.
Your credit card benefits can be great, but they're not necessarily a substitute for comprehensive travel insurance.
Before you decline travel insurance because “my credit card covers me,” 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐭. That little detail could make a BIG difference if something goes wrong. 👀

How much cash should you 𝑎𝑐𝑡𝑢𝑎𝑙𝑙𝑦 take on vacation? Because carrying $2,000 in cash “just in case” probably isn't the move. 💵 ✈️
If you're traveling somewhere that's card friendly, a good rule of thumb is to carry about $200–$500 in cash for emergencies and keep it split up in different places.
But before you decide on an amount, check:
💳 Whether cards are widely accepted
🏧 ATM availability and fees
💱 Foreign transaction fees and exchange rates
💵 Whether tipping is usually done in cash
🚕 Whether you'll need cash for taxis, transfers or small purchases
And don't forget to bring two cards, if possible. If one gets lost, blocked or simply decides to stop working on vacation... you'll have a backup.
The amount of cash you need really depends on where you're going and how you travel. Do a little research before you go so you're prepared without carrying your entire bank account in your purse.

Yep. More than 33 million American workers currently have no access to paid vacation time.
A new bill called the Protected Time Off (PTO) Act would change that by guaranteeing paid vacation time for eligible workers.
Under the bill, workers would earn 1 hour of paid vacation for every 25 hours worked, up to at least 2 weeks of paid vacation each year. 🏖️✈️
And no, this wouldn’t replace sick leave or family and medical leave. It’s specifically meant to give people actual time off to REST, travel, spend time with family… or simply do absolutely nothing. 😂
Because let’s be honest… vacation shouldn’t be a luxury reserved for people whose jobs come with PTO.
Would you support a law guaranteeing paid vacation time?

Europe just hit the pause button… AGAIN.
If you’ve been hearing about ETIAS, the new travel authorization for visa exempt travelers visiting Europe, there’s an update: Europe has now 𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐥𝐲 𝐝𝐞𝐥𝐚𝐲𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐥𝐚𝐮𝐧𝐜𝐡.
That means U.S. travelers do NOT need to apply for ETIAS right now, and there’s currently no application process open. Europe says it will announce the launch date several months before the system actually begins.
So if you have a European vacation coming up, you can cross “figure out ETIAS” off your to do list… for now. 😅
Of course, Europe is also dealing with the rollout of its new Entry/Exit System (EES), which has already caused long lines and delays at some airports. So there are still a few things travelers need to keep an eye on. 👀
As always, I’ll keep watching the changes so my clients know what they need before they head to Europe. 🌍✈️

⚠️ Heads up if you book last-minute flights on American Airlines… this change could cost you. ✈️💸
American Airlines has quietly tightened its 24-hour refund policy.
Previously, you could cancel within 24 hours of booking and get a full refund if your trip was at least 2 days away.
Now? Your flight must be at least 7 days away to qualify for that 24-hour refund window. If you’re booking within a week of departure, that safety net may no longer apply.
Travel Tip: If you’re making a last-minute booking, double-check the airline’s cancellation rules before you hit “Purchase.” Not every airline has the same policy, and one small detail could mean the difference between a full refund and a travel credit… or no refund at all. 👀
