What is 3 Cards, 3 Continents?

For the 2022 Frequent Miler team challenge Nick, Stephen and Greg competed to book the most amazing 3-continent dream-trip using 3 welcome bonuses. As usual, they had a pre-determined budget and rules to stick to throughout their travels, then readers picked the winner once their trips were completed.

Several months in advance, we live-streamed a card draft where each contestant picked 3 credit card welcome offers which would make up their travel budget. No bonus could be picked twice. You can watch the card draft here. With their cards selected, the competitors booked the most impressive trips they could with the bonuses and perks gained from those cards.
