Soundbite and Script

December 13, 2011

ANNOUNCER:

ACCORDING TO TRIPLE “A”, MORE THAN 42 MILLION AMERICANS WILL TRAVEL AT LEAST 50 MILES FROM HOME THIS HOLIDAY SEASON, MAKING FOR A STRESSFUL AND OFTEN EXPENSIVE TIME TO FLY.  

TRAVEL CHANNEL SHOW HOST SAMANTHA BROWN SAYS WHEN IT COMES TO FLYING, THERE ARE WAYS TO GET A GOOD DEAL EVEN ON THE BUSIEST TRAVEL DAYS OF THE YEAR. 

SAMANTHA BROWN, TRAVEL CHANNEL SHOW HOST:

“Blackout dates during the holidays can make it hard to take advantage of travel rewards programs but it’s not impossible. You may have travel rewards through the credit cards you carry and some cards offer more flexible travel rewards than others. I like Chase Sapphire Preferred, it offers an easy-to-use online booking tool that lets you use points to book flights on any airline with no travel restrictions or blackout dates. Plus, you earn double points for every dollar you spend on travel, so, while your traveling you can actually be earning points for your next vacation.”

ANNOUNCER:

TO AVOID SURPRISES WHILE TRAVELING, BROWN ALSO SAYS TO LOOK FOR A CARD WITH NO FOREIGN TRANSACTION FEES AND LIVE CUSTOMER SERVICE.  I’M JON DRYDEN.
