32. Maximize Credit Card Redemption Bonuses
Beyond simply using points for direct bookings, savvy frequent flyers track and capitalize on credit card redemption bonuses. Many cards periodically offer increased value for points when redeemed for specific cruise lines, onboard credit, or through their own travel portals.

It's about strategic timing – holding onto points until a favorable redemption bonus appears, significantly stretching their buying power for your next voyage.
