Higher costs, exchange rates, uncertainty about gas prices, political tensions — a number of factors are forcing travelers to rethink their plans this summer.

More than 2 in 5 Americans plan to take a vacation this summer that requires a flight or hotel stay, according to a recent survey by NerdWallet.

Out of more than 2,000 travelers polled by the personal finance website, 85% said they plan to use a credit card to cover some travel expenses.

Nearly a third of travelers who used credit cards to finance trips in 2024 said they still haven’t paid off those bills.
