a huge myth is that you need to spend a ridiculous amount of money to earn a lot of credit card points. for me, biggest earnings have come from:
1. sign-up bonuses
2. personal + biz cards
3. 2-player strategy

tips if you’re planning a similar trip:
✅ Dry season (roughly Dec–April) is generally the best weather-wise, but also the most expensive
✅ Liberia airport is much closer than San José for Guanacaste/Papagayo resorts
✅ If you’re booking with points, try to reserve early. Costa Rica award availability can disappear fast during peak travel periods

Wondering what age to start at? Each credit card issuer has different rules. Some allow authorized users at any age, while others have minimum ages (often around 13–16). Worth checking directly with your card issuer before adding them!

Remember, this tip only works if the parent has strong responsible, credit habits.
