How to use your points to travel to Croatia for less?

To travel to Croatia at a lower cost, combine several loyalty programs such as Aeroplan, Flying Blue, and American Express Membership Rewards points. Monitor Flying Blue Promo Rewards monthly - I got a Montreal-Split flight for only 18,750 Miles. Transfer your points at the right time and be flexible with your dates to maximize your savings.

Which points programs to use for the Balkans?

The best programs for the Balkans are Flying Blue for flights to Croatia (excellent Promo Rewards), Aeroplan for flexible returns from Europe, and TD Rewards or Scene+ points for accommodation. Accumulate with the American Express Cobalt Card (5X at the grocery store) and transfer to the most advantageous program depending on your destination.

Can you book last-minute flights with points for Croatia?

Yes, last-minute bookings are possible and sometimes advantageous! I booked my flight 3 months before departure during a Flying Blue Promo Reward. Use tools like Roame or Seats.aero to quickly find the best points availability from different European cities.

How to save on accommodation in Croatia with points?

Use TD Rewards points via Expedia for TD (I saved $735 in Dubrovnik), redeem your AIR MILES for Airbnb gift cards during redemption promotions, and reimburse your travel expenses with Scene+ points. Distribute your bookings across programs to maximize the use of all your available points.
