Doesn't really seem to be much specific to travel here, same advice would apply to spree applying for any type of card.

It would be nice if there was a great formula, like "for every $1000 you save on a ticket, it is worth to have a maximum of 45 points taken off your score for a year" but of course there isn't!

It's not a major drop on your fico score and after a few month the fico score recovers of course the caveat is that you payoff the balance monthly. Besides for most the SUB is the major way most people accumulate the points generally not thru natural spend

The impacts are usually not severe, but it is worth noting those score risks... especially if you have something like a mortgage app coming up.

These days issuers have controls in place to prevent too many apps/SUBs at a time, anyway, so it's not like the old days where you could do a round the world trip on one big app spree and then have to wait a couple years for your reports to stop bleeding.

It is a well balanced article. 
I think the resort frowns on standing on the narrow wood railing. 

The link to the "your next travel card" looks like good additional content.
