But we are a well-planning bunch here at TPG, and being a planner yourself can save you some major moolah the next time you go to book a vacation. If you factor in the timeline for credit card sign-up bonus points to hit your account, signing up for a new credit card today means you could have a much heftier points balance when it comes time to book your spring break getaway. For example, the [Chase Sapphire Preferred® Card]( offers 60,000 Ultimate Rewards points after you spend $4,000 on purchases in the first three months from account opening. We value that at $1,230 based on [TPG valuations](. Another TPG favorite is the [Capital One Venture X Rewards Credit Card]( which is running a sign-up bonus of 75,000 miles after you spend $4,000 on the card within the first three months of account opening. Of course, y’all heard from me last weekend about the 80,000-point bonus on [The Platinum Card® from American Express]( which is offering that perk for members who spend $8,000 in the first six months of card membership. You could also be [targeted for a higher 150,000-point offer on this card]( by checking out the CardMatch tool. These are all great options for getting some added lift in your vacation budget. Check out more of our recent coverage below to get an early start on earning points and miles ahead of next year’s travel: - [Find your CardMatch]( - [Need points for spring break or summer travel?
