Forbes Advisor: 70% of travelers plan to redeem points for trips during 2024

Forbes Advisor survey reveals 87% of Americans plan to travel by year-end, with most using travel credit cards to fund trips, highlighting the persistent allure of travel despite economic challenges.
A travel credit card can be a valuable tool for those who travel enough and the way cardholders choose to leverage their card and its benefits can vary. One cardholder may save their points for a dream trip, while another user may only check their points balance when they’re starting to feel the desire to get away. But what are the favored travel card strategies nationwide? In a new survey, Forbes Advisor explored how consumers are leveraging their travel credit cards and redeeming points and miles for trips. The survey also examined travel trends for the rest of 2024.
Survey highlights include:
Commenting on the study, Forbes Advisor Credit Cards Expert Becky Pokora says, “Americans are still keen to travel between now and the end of the year despite high costs – our survey found most respondents expect to charge a minimum of $2,000 on their travel credit cards for trips. For the past few years, we’ve seen travel establish its foothold as a regular expenditure rather than an occasional luxury despite inflation. With two peak travel seasons (summer and the holiday) still to come in 2024, we suspect Americans will do everything they can to commit to their travel intentions.”
