Patagonia is a wild mix of jagged granite peaks, massive blue glaciers, and wind that can knock you over. To see it at its best, you want to go between November and March, during the southern hemisphere's summer when the hiking trails are open and the sun stays up late. It is a bucket-list trip, but getting to the bottom of South America is not cheap.
A typical trip usually runs about $5,200 once you factor in flights, park passes, and lodging. Instead of draining your savings all at once, we can break that cost down into manageable monthly chunks. By using the right card strategy, we can pay for the journey over more than a year without extra fees.
Keep in mind that the 15-month window is a strict deadline, not free money. If you still have a balance left when the 0% intro APR for 15 months on purchases and balance transfers ends, the remaining amount will start racking up interest at the regular variable APR. Make sure you set up autopay to clear the debt before that clock runs out.
