A Tip To Help Pay For College Costs

Use your credit card points to help with college expenses:  Regardless of where the money was coming from to pay for college (loan, cash, etc) I would call the school and put the maximum amount allowed on my credit card and the next day send in a check to pay the bill. I continued to do this until the entire bill was paid on the credit card. School cost was about $26,000 and I only needed 20,000 points for a free round-trip air fare from my daughter’s school in California to our home in Connecticut which meant a free round-trip flight every year.
