There are several credit cards in Australia that offer travel rewards that exceed just the basics. Many credit cards offer benefits such as frequent flyer miles and point based systems but these cards are often difficult to redeem points with and they can often be quite confusing in terms of transferring points from your card to your frequent flyer program. However, there is a new breed of travel based credit cards that make Australian travel much easier and cheaper. The ANZ Frequent Flyer credit card is one of those cards and it is a piece of plastic that helps travelers travel more often and with less hassle.

The Frequent Flyer card stands out from the crowd because it has several benefits that other cards dont, including: automatic credits to your Qantas frequent flier account, bonus points for certain purchases, a long interest free purchase period, online banking and a low balance transfer rate for the entire first year. The Flyer card is among the new breed of credit cards in Australia that is geared more toward the consumer then the credit card company.

Since this travel rewards card is meant for the frequent flyer, it works great if you already belong to the Qantas frequent flyer program. The more you spend on your card the more points that you get in your account. As a matter of fact, all the money that you put onto your ANZ frequent flyer card will translate to bonus points on your account automatically. You do not have to jump through hoops like other credit card companies make you do. There are no phone calls to make or emails to send because your points automatically transfer over. Plus, just by using the frequent flyer card at certain places, any Bonus Partners Australia (including Qantas), you can earn even more bonus points. Often you will earn twice the rewards from using your card on Qantas purchases.

The ANZ frequent flyer credit card makes traveling all that much easier but it offers other rewards as well. The low interest rate on purchases is another big reason so many card holders love it. You start off with 44 days of interest free purchases. This means that you can make purchases your very first day with the card and not actually pay for them in full until 44 days down the road. After this intro period is over you still get a 2.9% APR for the rest of the year.

The ANZ frequent flyer credit card is among the newer Australian credit cards that can be used for a variety of travel related purposes. These travel cards are efficient in helping frequent flyers travel more effectively.

Blogs are everywhere. From the political to the informational, if you can think of a genre, chances are, you can find a blog focusing on it. So what is a blog? A portmanteau of the term web log, blogs basically allow users to interact with one another in an open platform. More simply stated, a blog is an easier to use and more search engine friendly version of the early 90s perl based message boards.

Before you go running off and opening a blog on Blogger or another popular service, you should know that not all blogs are the same. There are two different benefits to your business that blogging can provide. The first is interacting on other blogs related to what you do. As entries and comments are posted, you can provide feedback based on your professional knowledge. This helps you network on a global level as other users will turn to you as an expert in your field.

The other method of blogging is managing your own blog. This is where you need to pay close attention. One of the most beneficial features of a blog is its simple ability to be syndicated to other web sites using RSS or XML feeds. If you are using a third party blog provider (a blog that is not hosted under your domain), the RSS or XML feeds will not be pulled from your site but rather the blog hosts web sites. In short, you will be missing out on relevant links to your web site.

Managing your own on site blog is a great way to get traffic to your site and increase your relevant link population. The key to making it work is consistency. Your blog should be updated every two to three days with useful information. Information should be useful rather than commercial. While you can occasionally post notices of sales or company information, your on site blog entries need to consist of relevant, useful information at least ninety percent of the time.

Unlike articles, blog entries can be just one or two paragraphs. As your blogs population increases, you will be able to post new entries based on comments made by your users. Also, user comments are helpful in adding even more relevant content to your web site.

The shrinking world has made traveling a necessity. Whether you are traveling for business or for leisure the first step that you have to take is to book a hotel. With hundreds and thousands of hotels in all major cities of the world, it becomes a difficult task for a traveler to intelligently find a hotel that is in the proximity of the city area that he or she is visiting, has appropriate facilities, and is also within the budget.

To ease this pain, a lot of travel websites with hotel reservation systems have popped-up for every nook and corner of the world, but the problem remains intact which website to visit. There are over thousands of hotel search and reservation websites for each city or geographic area. For instance, if you are looking for accommodation in Paris, the first thing you would do is type Paris accommodation in your favorite search engine the result would bring over 3.5 million matches. Soon you will get tangled in millions of sites, offering different prices for thousands of hotels in Paris each claiming to be the cheapest.

Fortunately, theres an easy way out. Recently, I was searching for hotels in Prague for one of my relatives and I wanted the best hotel prices. After some futile searching I landed on the Prague webpage of hotels4travelers website. It had a list of all the hotels in Prague. I could sort the results based on consumer ratings, hotel prices, location, stars, etc. The website also has the option to select the currency in which you want to see the hotel prices. This feature is extremely convenient for international travelers, who dont have to calculate the amount in their local currency for each hotel.

The best part is that this website brings the results from over 30 popular online hotel reservation systems to give the best of all worlds. It shows a comparison of hotel prices offered on each hotel reservation system of which that hotel is a part of. Once you click on the hotel, you will see the prices offered by sites like hotels.com, booking.com, octopustravel.com, hotelbook.com, skoosh.com, accomodationz.com, expedia.com, travelocity.com, cheaptickets.com, and many more. Apart from the prices you can also see complete hotel details, pictures of rooms and the facilities, reviews by other members, and the map to the hotel all at one place.

Once you select the hotel rate, from among the various prices offered by multiple reservation systems, and click select, the website takes you to the booking page of the respective hotel reservation system. For instance, while searching for hotels in Paris, you liked the deal offered by expedia.com over the other systems and you clicked on it, then you would be taken to the booking page of expedia.com website, so that you can go through the payment gateway securely.

I travel a lot and have always hassled myself while searching for hotels, but hotels4travelers is truly different. Try it yourself and enjoy!
