These points and miles can then be used to get free perks and upgrades, including free hotel stays.<\/p>\n<p>Over the years, I&#8217;ve used points to earn countless free stays at hotels, which has saved me thousands and thousands of dollars in accommodation (tools like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.awayz.com\/#\/?code=nomadicmatt\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Awayz<\/a> are great for helping you maximize hotel points). <\/p>\n<p>Whether you&#8217;re a casual tourist or a die-hard backpacker, every traveler needs at least one hotel credit card in their wallet.
