Taylor Swift’s “The Eras Tour” returns to the U.S. next month, and while I’m no Swiftie, I have a 9-year-old daughter who’s a massive fan. I may not be able to belt out the lyrics to many of her songs, but I do have a ton of experience leveraging my travel credit cards<\/a> and knowledge of points and miles to make memories with my family.<\/p>\n

And recently, this allowed me to do something that previously seemed impossible: I snagged face-value tickets for one of her Miami shows and booked a $900-plus hotel room for the night of the concert with a free night certificate<\/a> and 11,000 points.<\/p>\n

Are you ready for it? Here’s how I used the right combination of credit cards<\/a> to make my daughter’s wildest dreams come true.<\/p>\n

Getting access to the presale<\/h2>\n

In early September, select cardholders of the Capital One Venture X Rewards Credit Card<\/a><\/span> learned about an opportunity to potentially buy tickets<\/a> to one of Taylor Swift’s tour dates in October and November in Miami, New Orleans and Indianapolis. However, this was far from guaranteed. If you were targeted, there were still multiple steps to take.<\/p>\n

First, you had to register using the unique code from Capital One, selecting up to three individual shows. Then, a limited number of registrants would be selected as “Venture X Verified Fans” for a specific show. Finally, if selected, you’d have a chance to join the queue to purchase tickets to said show \u2014 with no guarantee that seats would be left.<\/p>\n

When I was given the opportunity to register as a Venture X cardholder, I took it, figuring the Miami venue was relatively close to my hometown of Fort Pierce, Florida. And just a couple of days later, I received word that I had been selected for my first pick of shows.<\/p>\n
