Cents of Adventure helps you decide which travel credit cards are worth the fee for your spending — using real numbers from cards I actually use and trips Ive actually booked.

WHO THIS IS FOR

• You’re considering a new travel or cash-back card, or renewing one with an annual fee.

• You want keep / cancel / apply framed as net value, not vibes.

• You like trip write-ups that show the cost math, not just the photos.

WHAT THIS IS NOT

Not a generic “best cards of 2026” mill. Not debt payoff coaching. Not a camping blog that wandered into finance. Travel stories stay as proof of the card math.

HOW I GET PAID

Some links are affiliate / referral. If you apply through them, I may earn a commission — at no extra cost to you. I still show when a card is a skip. Full disclosure is in the site footer.
