Since our last trip to Japan in 2023, I’ve been diligently saving our points for the day we would return to the Land of the Rising Sun.  And now we’re getting ever so close to making our next trip!

Many a time you’re planning your trip and calculating how many points you need, get your strategy in place, and then boom something unexpected happens that changes your plans. 

Planning to fly first class is only half the battle of planning our two-week trip to Japan.  If you read PART ONE of this Japan series, I talk about the strategy that I’m using to try and get us First Class flights to and from Japan.  But what about once we’re there? 

It’s time for some bonus content!  The whole purpose of this post is to take a step away from talking about different credit cards and strategies that go along with those cards.
