Graduation Celebrations

A graduation marks years of work — and it pairs naturally with both a party and a celebratory trip, whether for the graduate or the whole family. The party spend you’re planning can earn the points that fund the travel, turning the celebration into a journey worth the achievement.

Here’s how.

Party and trip, paired

Party venue, catering, and rentals are card-payable anchors for a minimum spend. Concentrate the spend onto one bonus card, and if the family or friends join for group travel, that adds more earning.

Aim the points well

Transferable points cover the grad trip’s flights and hotels and let you pick the destination by transfer-partner value. We may earn a commission if you open a card through our links, at no cost to you; transferable points give you the most flexibility for wherever the celebration leads.

Time and travel

Line the card’s spend window up with the party deposits, use an FX-fee-free card for international grad trips, and lean on the travel protections the right card includes.

Map it with the planner
