While planning a Sunshine Rewards staff trip to New York City for a conference, we decided to try out one of our merchants. I clicked on our Go Card USA & Smart Destinations link and looked around at the various cards on their site. I ended up getting each of us a 3 attraction New York City Explorer Pass. The passes came in the mail like credit cards with a book showing all of the attractions we could use them for.

We decided on the City Sights bus tour as well as the NBC Studio Tour and the Statute of Liberty ferry tickets. In the video below, I explain how we used the tickets to see some awesome attractions. What I do not mention in the video are some of the other perks. These included not waiting in line at the Statue of Liberty ticket office, the option of upgrading one City Sights ticket to 5 different tours for only $12 more, and all of the percentage off restaurant coupons in the back of the tour book.

I love seeing cities by tour bus because the guides add history and trivia to what might otherwise just be photo opportunities. Go Card USA and Smart Destinations have attraction tickets for many major cities such as Chicago, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Miami, Orlando, and more. My hope is to someday try every one of them! You can get cash back on your Go Card USA and Smart Destinations purchase plus find coupons at Sunshine Rewards.
