I travel some, but not extensively at this point. Usually 2-3 trips a year, with one being international. I live in Orange County, so I usually fly from SNA or LAX, although SAN wouldn't be that bad. I don't have any hotel reward/loyalty programs, but I'm not opposed to it. In my travels so far, I often stay with friends or, being the outdoorsy type, backpack/hostel etc.

I'm not too big on cashback, but I use my Freedom during the rotating categories.
