Geobreeze Travel: Recent Episodes
Julia Menez
A show for anyone looking to level up their award travel lifestyle! Points strategy coach and speaker, Julia Menez, interviews award travelers from all walks of life about their points and miles stories and secrets. You won't find these by simply Googling "best points and miles blog."
The Geobreeze Travel podcast features interviews with a diverse population of award travelers, including voices that are normally underrepresented in larger points and miles blogs and media (e.g. women and people of color). Because everyone should get to talk about traveling for next to no cost.

Hey there, points people! Today, I'm chatting with Sangeeta, a Global Marketer from Plaza Premium Group.
In this episode we discuss what sets Plaza Premium apart from other programs/lounges, earning rewards points just by visiting lounges, redeeming those points, and so much more! Most hear Plaza Premium and just think of it as a lounge program, but Sangeeta tells us all about the different offerings from Plaza Premium and how you can get access to them today!
If you’re looking for a card that can gain you access to the Plaza Premium lounges, consider the Chase Sapphire Reserve Card. It's a staple for seasoned and new travelers alike.

Hey there, points people! Today, I'm chatting with John from @JohnsFinanceTips.
John, gives his story how he went from a college student leveraging 0% APR credit cards to becoming a full-time content creator. We discuss the nuances of the credit card ladder, starting from secured and student cards for beginners, moving to mid-tier cards like Chase Sapphire Preferred, and scaling up to premium cards offering extensive travel perks. John emphasizes the importance of aligning your credit card choices accordingly to maximize rewards for whatever your situation may be.
John and I also explore the upper echelons of credit card tiers, where annual fees skyrocket, but so do the luxury benefits. We delve into the elusive realm of ultra-premium cards like the American Express Black Card and the JP Morgan Reserve, discussing their high barriers to entry and the exclusivity they offer. John shares his philosophy on credit card points - to earn and burn - stressing on the importance of utilizing points before they devalue. He also sheds light on the importance of being aware of your 5/24 status and strategically planning credit card applications.
For those diving deeper into the world of points and miles, consider the Chase Sapphire Preferred Card. It's a staple for seasoned and new travelers alike.
Remember, if you decide to apply for the Chase Sapphire Preferred or any other card, never apply directly through Google – always use a friend or creator’s referral link.
If you are interested in supporting this show when you apply for your next card, check out geobreezetravel.com/cards and if you’re not sure what card is right for you, I offer free credit card consultations at geobreezetravel.com/consultations !

Hey there, points people! Today, I’m talking with from Daniel Braun from @_danbraun
Daniel currently runs a YouTube channel that teaches millions of viewers everything from “credit card basics” to “how to get more value out of their points and miles” and has grown the channel to over 100,000 subscribers in 2 years.
In this episode, Daniel and I go through our wallets. We’re letting you in on the cards that we use every day, which ones we have that we don’t use, and which ones we don’t really think are worth having.
Daniel also highlights the Chase Freedom Flex℠ in his trifecta strategy, emphasizing its ability to earn valuable Chase Ultimate Rewards points without any annual fees. If this sounds interesting to you, then check out the Chase Freedom Flex℠ card. You can easily earn 5x on nearly anything this quarter, since one of the special bonus categories is PayPal! All you need to do is link your Chase Freedom Flex to PayPal to earn 5x on any purchase you make with PayPal.
Remember, if you decide to apply for the Chase Freedom Flex℠ or any other card, never apply directly through Google – always use a friend or creator’s referral link.
If you are interested in supporting this show when you apply for your next card, check out geobreezetravel.com/cards and if you’re not sure what card is right for you, I offer free credit card consultations at geobreezetravel.com/consultations !
And we have the links to the Chase Freedom Flex℠ and the free consultation form for you in the show notes as well. And now, on with the show!

Hey there, points people! Today, I’m talking to from Abby Hatteberg from @wayfarenco!
Abby is a mom of 3 who loves exploring the world and has been in the travel industry for 11 years. She has been leveraging points for travel over the past 3 years and her family has had some unforgettable experiences in the Azores, Norway, Italy, the Sawtooth Mountains, and Cabo San Lucas.
In this episode, Abby shares her expertise on how to leverage credit card points to take bucket list vacations, specifically discussing her family's trip to the Azores. She offers tips on earning and redeeming points effectively and highlights the unique beauty of the affordable Azores, making it a must-visit destination for travelers looking for a taste of Europe without breaking the bank.
During her trip, Abby mentions they used credits to offset some of their Airbnb costs, which was about $150 a night for a full home on the west side of the island. If you’re thinking of doing the same, consider the Capital One Venture X Rewards Credit Card.
Remember, if you decide to apply for the Capital One Venture X Rewards Credit Card or any other card, never apply directly through Google – always use a friend or creator’s referral link.

Hey there, points people! You just heard a clip from Anshul Singh from Points, Miles and Bling.
Anshul, is the founder of "Points, Miles and Bling" blog, and has been writing about points and travel since 2014. With a background in international recruitment and a history of work-related travel, he gradually became interested in using points for personal travel.
He has experienced different phases of the points game, from saving money to getting the most value per point, before finally learning to enjoy the game without stressing over it.
In this episode, Anshul and I discuss the concept of value in the points game, the evolution of one's mindset towards points, and a reminder that this hobby should add joy to your life – not stress. We also touch on the importance of having a good network of people in the points game and how it can help alleviate stress.
If you’re new to the points and miles game but don’t know where to start, I highly recommend starting with the Chase Sapphire Preferred® Card
Remember, if you decide to apply for the Chase Sapphire Preferred® Card or any other card, never apply directly through Google – always use a friend or creator’s referral link.
If you are interested in supporting this show when you apply for your next card, check out geobreezetravel.com/cards and if you’re not sure what card is right for you, I offer free credit card consultations at geobreezetravel.com/consultations !

Hey there, points people! Today, I'm talking to Tim from @roame.travel.
Tim has earned millions of points since his first rewards card back in 2012. Since then, he has traveled around the world to 5 continents with the help of his points. He originally created Roame.Travel to save himself hours of research when searching for award flight deals, but wanted to share the Roame search engine with the points and miles community (for free), and they just launched a premium version of their website as well!
In this episode, we talk about how Tim and his partner developed Roame as a tool to save time and money for the points and miles community. He discusses the features of Roame and offers tips for finding the best award redemptions, including the importance of flexibility and understanding positioning flights.
Tim and I discuss how to transfer Chase points to any airline using his website and how they’ll include other cards in the future. If you want to start looking into how to transfer your points, consider the Chase Sapphire Preferred Card, which is one of the most popular starter cards for people looking to get into the game of points.

Hey there, points people! Today, I'm talking with Devon Gimbel from Point Me To First Class.
Devon is the founder of Point Me To First Class, which assists employed professionals, entrepreneurs, and business owners to earn credit card points and travel luxuriously. She focuses on how you can use your expenses to your advantage. Devon's aim is to transform first-class travel and help women travel more, travel better, and travel often using credit card points.
In this episode, we talk about how high-income earners can effectively leverage points and miles to travel, discuss the barriers that prevent people from getting into the points game, strategies for earning points sustainably, and how to prioritize time and resources.
Devon and I discuss how to maximize your credit card rewards beyond sign-up bonuses by taking advantage of category bonuses and non-bonus spend categories. If you want to maximize your credit card rewards, consider the Chase Ink Business Cash card, which gets 5x points on internet, cable, phone, and office supply store purchases.

Hey there, points people! Today, I'm talking with Andrea and Carlos from @Endeuda2_
Andrea and Carlos create content to help Hispanics and Latinos manage their finances better - from having a better relationship with money, optimizing savings and investing, all the way to travel hacking. They’ve been in the credit card points game for more than 8 years, but it was 3 years ago that they got hooked with travel hacking and never looked back. They’ve traveled to France, Spain, Netherlands, Portugal, Disney World, The Florida Keys, and a 8-night Virgin cruise thanks to travel hacking.
In this episode, Andrea, Carlos, and I talk about their mission to teach personal finance in Spanish, how to book a Virgin Voyages cruise using points, and what the onboard experience is like.
Andrea and Carlos transferred Capital One miles to Virgin to book their cruise, and you can do the same with the Capital One Venture X Rewards Credit Card.

Hey there, points people! This week I’m speaking with Maria from @traveling4theplayaprice.
Maria hopes to inspire others to make the most of their opportunities with their loved ones. Award travel has made it easier for her to take her family along, making it more accessible and cost-effective.
In this episode, Maria and I discuss flying from New York to Portugal in business class for 35k miles, whether business class is actually worth it, and the perks that come with Marriott Ambassador status.
Maria transferred points to Flying Blue and Avianca LifeMiles. Having a card with transferable points, like the American Express Gold Card, gives you access to transfer to many airlines with your points, just like Maria.
Remember, if you decide to apply for the American Express Gold Card or any other card, never apply directly through Google – always use a friend or creator’s referral link.

Hey there, points people! Today, I'm talking with Juan Ruiz of (@doubledutydaddy).
Juan has been writing and editing stories about credit cards, loyalty programs, and travel for over a decade. He's contributed to outlets like The Points Guy, Forbes, CNN, and Upgraded Points. Juan travels with his family using points and miles, having visited 39 countries across 6 continents.
In this episode, Juan and I discuss tips for traveling with multiple kids, why Alaska miles are so hard to come by, and why you shouldn’t sleep on them for long-haul flights from the US to Asia.
Juan and I talk about using Alaska miles to fly on Cathay Pacific. If you don’t have Alaska miles, but want the same experience, you can book Cathay Pacific using British Airways Avios. If you need more Avios, you might consider the British Airways Visa Signature® Card.
Remember, if you decide to apply for the British Airways Visa Signature® Card or any other card, never apply directly through Google – always use a friend or creator’s referral link.

Hey there, points people! Today I’m talking with Crystal of (@militaryfamilyperks), a military wife and mom of three. Her husband joined the Navy in 2008 and she's been finding ways to save money using military deals and discounts since then.
In this episode, Crystal and I discuss perks for service members including waived credit card fees, getting access to TSA PreCheck for free, and discounts on flights.

Hey there, points people! Today, I’m talking with Chris Hassan of (@chrisdhassan), a Family travel writer from Upgraded Points (@packedwithpoints), about using airline partnerships to get the best points deals on flights. We dive deep into using Virgin Atlantic, British Airways, and Turkish Airlines miles to book domestic flights in the US and international business class on various airlines.
Chris worked in hotels and the hospitality industry for years before switching to the other side of the front desk and sharing travel tips and tricks. He is from Boston but now lives in Rio de Janeiro with his wife and 2 kids, so traveling back and forth between Brazil and the U.S. with his family is a common commute for him and his family. Besides visiting family, Chris makes sure that showing his kids new parts of the world is part of their education and uses points and miles to get them there. His kids have been on hundreds of flights including economy, business, and international first class and he is a firm believer that kids belong up front!
The best way to get access to a variety of airline miles is to use a card that earns transferable points. One option is the Capital One Venture X Rewards Credit Card, which transfers to all of the airlines I just mentioned!
If you're thinking of applying for the Capital One Venture X Rewards Credit Card or any other card, don't apply directly through Google – use a friend's referral link! And if you need help figuring out which card is right for you, check out geobreezetravel.com/cards for free credit card consultations.

Hey there, points people! You just heard an interview from Helen & Tim from @helenandtimtravel
Helen and Tim are full-time adventure travelers. They recently left their 9 to 5 jobs to travel the world for the next couple of years. They have traveled and hiked in over 20 countries and love to inspire others to get outdoors. They are documenting their travels on their YouTube channel, "Helen and Tim Travel" with the goal to see the world one mountain at a time. They have enjoyed using the Financial Independence Retire Early (FIRE) strategies and points and miles to make their full-time travel journey achievable.
In this episode, Helen, Tim, and I discuss earning over one million points in three years, the Austrian Airways business class experience, and traveling to Taiwan on points.
As business owners, Helen and Tim are able to earn points by signing up for and using business credit cards. If you are a business owner and interested in a similar trip, consider the Chase Ink Business Unlimited card, which earns 1.5% back on any purchase. When paired with a card like the Chase Ink Business Preferred, these points can be used to transfer to United to book EVA business class just like Helen and Tim did for their trip to Taiwan.
Remember, if you decide to apply for the Chase Ink Business Unlimited or any other card, never apply directly through Google – always use a friend or creator’s referral link.

Aimee is based in Phoenix and she and her husband have lived all over during his time in the Army. Moving around so much created her love for travel. After her husband retired, she wanted to find a way to still see the world, and spend more time with her stepkids, living in Tennessee. She now works in higher education and spends her free time travel hacking and traveling whenever she can!
In this episode, Aimee and I discuss using Southwest to travel around the US with kids and booking all inclusive resorts for the whole family.
Aimee talks about her recent trip to a Secrets Impressions resort, booked with Hyatt points. If you are looking to take a similar trip, you may want to check out the Chase Sapphire Preferred card. Points from this card can be transferred directly to Hyatt and many other airlines.
Remember, if you decide to apply for the Chase Sapphire Preferred or any other card, never apply directly through Google – always use a friend or creator’s referral link.

Hey there, points people! You just heard a clip from Katelyn from @junkatelyn.
Katelyn grew up traveling from a very young age and has been to more than 26 countries. She has always loved traveling for as long as she can remember. Relocating to Hong Kong at three years old opened her chances to travel more as a family, then she moved to London during her college years when she traveled to Europe. Now she lives in California with her two kids and husband. Traveling gives her inspiration in creativity and life.
In this episode, Katelyn and I discuss how to book travel on points from the US to Korea, exploring Korea with kids, and how to get your spouse to stop hoarding points. She also shares how her family earned points through her husband’s business travel on United, which they used to book Asiana Airlines tickets.
If you are also a frequent United flyer, you may be interested in the United Explorer card, which gets you a free checked bag when flying United and access to exclusive award space that isn’t available to the general public.

In this episode, Rad and I talk about some of the best credit cards out there that no one really talks about on Instagram because spoilers – most points influencers only talk about the cards they’re paid to talk about.
Speaking of which: shameless plug right now for these cards that I’m paid to talk about! Rad and I talk about how a couple of our favorite loyalty programs these days are American Airlines and Hyatt because you can basically buy your way to status by putting spend on cobranded credit cards like the World of Hyatt personal and business cards and the Citi AAdvantage card.

Born and raised in Kingston Jamaica, she moved to the US when she was 20 years old. A few years back she used to extreme coupon, which was her gateway into points and miles.In this episode, Nicole and I dive into her family’s recent trip to Germany, including what they flew, where they stayed, how much it all cost, and how they earned the points. We also cover some of my recent trip to Germany where my husband and I experienced our first ever first class flight on Singapore Suites from Frankfurt to JFK.If you are looking to level up your travel experiences with perks like airport lounge access for your whole family, top tier rental car status, and a $300 travel credit each year, make sure you check out the Capital One Venture X, which is rapidly growing in popularity as one of the most popular cards for families who like to travel using points and miles.Remember, if you decide to apply for the Venture X or any other card, never apply directly through Google – always use a friend or creator’s referral link.If you are interested in supporting this show when you apply for your next card, check out geobreezetravel.com/cards and if you’re not sure what card is right for you, I offer free credit card consultations at geobreezetravel.com/consultations !And we have the links to the Venture X and the free consultation form for you in the show notes as well.

Jeff Rolander from @faye.travel is the Vice President of Claims at Faye Travel Insurance - a new, modern travel insurance company that hit the market last year. Jeff has over 20 years of experience in claims management, working for Allianz before heading to Faye to lead a claims department focused on providing delightful, fast experiences for travelers. Faye provides whole trip insurance - meaning it protects your flights, hotels, luggage and your health. And they’re there for the fun parts of travel too! Their 24/7 customer support team can help you with tour suggestions, restaurant recommendations and even where the nearest ATM or pharmacy is, in addition to helping you get reimbursed if something on your trip doesn’t go according to plan.
In this episode, Jeff and I discuss the different trip protections that travelers often dont realize they’re entitled to, and where it might make sense to get supplementary travel insurance like Faye. P.S. this episode is #notsponsored and I don’t have a referral link or anything for you if you decide to buy a trip protection plan from Faye. We just made this episode because I get a lot of requests in my DMs asking how much compensation you can get from different travel mishaps like cancelled or delayed flights.
Before we jump into the episode, I also have a short segment for you that goes over how to find the trip protections of some of the most popular points and miles credit cards, and what those trip protectiosn cover. If you’d like to follow along on the Geobreeze Travel YouTube channel, you’ll be able to see the visuals of what I’m describing there as well.
One of those cards we’ll go over is the Chase Sapphire Preferred, which comes with trip protections like trip delay reimbursement of up to $500 per ticket, lost luggage reimbursement of up to $3000 per passenger, and trip cancellation insurance of up to $10,000 per person or $20,000 per trip.
Remember, if you decide to apply for the Chase Sapphire Preferred or any other card, never apply directly through Google – always use a friend or creator’s referral link.

Katie Caputo from @themoneymisfit is based in beautiful East TN, in the foothills of the Great Smoky Mountains. Her philosophy in travel hacking is the same as in finance: the journey is always personal and you'll be most successful if you step OUT of the box! After taking on massive student debt in her 20's, Katie resigned herself to a life without travel, something she thought was a luxury she would never be able to afford. Thankfully, learning to use points and miles showed her that not only can she travel the world while paying off debt, but that travel hacking is a powerful financial tool that, when used responsibly, can skyrocket your financial health.In this episode, Katie and I discuss putting real money before the lovely “fake” money that is points and miles, and not letting the joys of getting to travel for next to no cost put the cart before the horse. We also discuss a lot of the different mental gymnastics that points people often put themselves through to justify money moves that might not always be in their best interests.If you’re just getting started with points and miles, this is especially important to keep in mind. Additionally, if you’re new to the game, one of the most popular credit cards for beginners is the Chase Sapphire Preferred which lets you convert points from many cashback only cards like the Chase Freedom Flex or Chase Freedom Unlimited intro travel points, which makes them go a lot further.Remember, if you decide to apply for the Chase Sapphire Preferred or any other card, never apply directly through Google – always use a friend or creator’s referral link.If you are interested in supporting this show when you apply for your next card, check out geobreezetravel.com/cards and if you’re not sure what card is right for you, I offer free credit card consultations at geobreezetravel.com/consultations !Chase Sapphire Preferred: https://milevalue.com/creditcards/chase-sapphire-preferred/?aff=gbtWaitlist for The Points Accelerator: https://www.geobreezetravel.com/waitlistYou can find Katie at:Instagram: www.instagram.com/themoneymisfitYou can find Julia at:Free Course: https://www.geobreezetravel.com/freecourseInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/geobreezetravelCredit card links: https://www.geobreezetravel.com/cardsPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/geobreezetravelSign up for the newsletter and get exclusive access to sign up for free coaching calls: https://www.geobreezetravel.com/free-coachingGeobreeze Travel is part of an affiliate sales network and receives compensation for sending traffic to partner sites, such as milevalue .com.

Nearly any of the flexible points programs will transfer to Air Canada’s Aeroplan program, whether it’s Chase points, Amex, Capital One, or Bilt.

Mark is a globally recognised, award-winning airline loyalty thought-leader, and known as one of the 'brightest minds in loyalty. Mark’s unique approach to loyalty has received industry acclaim and his work is referenced in major media including CNN, BBC, South China Morning Post, The Star, The Economist, Financial Times, Executive Traveler, Skift and many more. In this episode, Mark and I discuss the past, present, and future of status matching and what to possibly expect from different loyalty programs if you want to get those coveted upgrades and other extra perks on your next flight or hotel stay. One of my favorite statuses is Hyatt Globalist, and one thing that makes earning status easier with Hyatt is having a World of Hyatt credit card. By putting expenses on the Hyatt business or personal cards, you can effectively get the requirements for earning Hyatt status reduced. If you’re a business owner with large expenses, you can earn Hyatt Globalist status through the Hyatt Business Card, even if you’ve never stayed at a Hyatt hotel before!Remember, if you decide to apply for the Hyatt business card, Hyatt personal card, or any other card, never apply directly through Google – always use a friend or creator’s referral link.If you are interested in supporting this show when you apply for your next card, check out geobreezetravel.com/cards and if you’re not sure what card is right for you, I offer free credit card consultations at geobreezetravel.com/consultations !World of Hyatt business card: https://milevalue.com/creditcards/hyatt-business-card/?aff=gbtWorld of Hyatt personal card: https://milevalue.com/creditcards/world-of-hyatt-card/?aff=gbtYou can find Mark at: https://twitter.com/drdootYou can find Julia at:Free Course: https://www.geobreezetravel.com/starthereWaiting List for The Points Accelerator: https://www.geobreezetravel.com/waitlistInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/geobreezetravelCredit card links: https://www.geobreezetravel.com/cardsPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/geobreezetravelAward travel coaching call: https://www.geobreezetravel.com/calendlySign up for the newsletter and get exclusive access to sign up for free coaching calls: https://www.geobreezetravel.com/free-coachingGeobreeze Travel is part of an affiliate sales network and receives compensation for sending traffic to partner sites, such as milevalue .com.

Ionna Hernandez from @travelpointsandviews is originally from Panama and grew up in South Florida, which is where she is currently based. She sailed around the world as a student on Semester at Sea and continues to travel frequently on her own although it hasn't always been easy. Her 20's were spent struggling to pay for school and figuring out her financial journey. In her 30s, she became obsessed with personal finance which led her to the world of points and miles. She has visited nearly 30 countries and 24 states (plus D.C.).
In this episode, Ionna and I discuss how to get free flights on United by leveraging the United Excursionist Perk. You can get into some really deep tricks with these routing rules, especially if you live near a smaller airport and always need positioning flights.
If you’re interested in taking advantage of the United Excursionist Perk, check out the United Explorer card, which comes with a variety of different perks, including access to additional award availability that you otherwise wouldn’t be able to see on United’s website!

Kathryn Malisheski from @kathryns.adventuresonpoints has been in the points game for the last 10 years. Over the past year, she has been teaching others to get the right credit cards, get the most out of their spend, and maximize their redemptions so they can travel the world for next to no cost. Whether it's luxury business class flights and five-star hotels or stretching their points for the most travel possible, she aims to help people achieve their goals and explore the world.
In this episode, we chat about the points and miles trips that we’ve taken to Greece – what we flew, where we stayed, what we ate, and how we can’t wait to go back.
We also discuss a bunch of fun excursions in Greece, and if you’re looking for an easy way to cover excursions with points and miles, one of the easier ways is to cash out points with a card like the Capital One Venture, which earns 2x everywhere to cover excursion costs.

Katie and Nicole from @pointsandmilesteachers are 3rd-grade teachers who also teach points and miles to adults. Since they are raising a family on two teacher incomes (p.s. their husbands are also teachers), they know what it means to live on a budget. Katie and Nicole believe in responsibly and strategically using credit card points and miles to travel the world while building a life of financial freedom.
In this episode, we go over how to travel on points if you have a teacher’s salary, schedule, and other constraints that might make the hobby more difficult for you compared to…. a 30 year old digital nomad bachelor, for example.
If you’re looking to get started with points and miles, check out the Chase Sapphire Preferred, which is the most popular card for people looking to get into the game. Additionally, we have a free course that covers how to get started with making your first redemption on points as well!

Michelle and Roshan from @honeymooonhackers are newlyweds who just went on their round the world honeymoon this summer and are now helping others plan their dream honeymoon on points. Roshan learned about the points and miles world in 2018 and Michelle got on board this year after experiencing their RTW honeymoon.
In this episode, we go over their incredible 44-day honeymoon and how you can structure a similar trip by transferring American Express points to ANA.
If you’re looking to get started with American Express points, I’d recommend starting with the Amex Gold card rather than the Amex Platinum. The monthly $20 in dining credits for the Amex Gold card almost exactly offset the annual fee, and it’s a great card to earn 4x everyday with groceries and restaurants, including takeout.

Haley and Justin Brown-Woods from @priceofavocadotoast are married millennials and the co-hosts of the Price of Avocado Toast podcast. Their story started with receiving $600k before spending every last penny and going into over $220k of debt in just 3.5 years. They had an extremely toxic relationship with money, especially with credit cards. They paid off $132k of debt in 18 months and swore up and down that they'd never use credit cards again. Lo and behold, here they are to talk about their experience with using credit cards for travel hacking over $5,000 of travel in their first year of travel hacking. In this episode, we talk about Haley and Justin’s journey and mindset shift when it comes to the world of points and miles. As you’ll hear in this episode, Haley and Justin are also past clients of mine, and I’m so excited and proud of all they have accomplished in just one year! If you’re looking to get started with points and miles so you can save thousands of dollars on travel too, the most popular starter card is the Chase Sapphire Preferred, and we have a free course for how you can get started with getting your first redemption at www.geobreezetravel.com/freecourse.

Serena Stone from @passionforpoints is a multi-tasking mother, wife, asset management professional, pet-sitting business owner, obsessive travel planner, and points and miles enthusiast. Her proudest points and miles moment was guiding her family of six through Japan and pretending to be rich while flying in business class and staying in luxury hotels.
In this episode, we discuss how Serena booked business class flights to Japan for a family of 6 in business class, which is a bucket list item for so many travelers, and a pretty difficult feat to accomplish! Not only did she manage to score some amazing flight redemptions, but she was able to book some amazing hotels on points as well!
If you are interested in traveling to Japan, there are a few flight redemption options including booking ANA flights via Virgin Atlantic, United Polaris, Star Alliance flights like Singapore Airlines via Air Canada, Japan Airlines via American Airlines, and there are tons of great Hyatt properties as well! Do you know what all of these brands have in common? They are all transfer partners of Bilt! If you are interested in a no annual fee card that lets you earn points on rent as well as up to 6x on dining, 4x on travel, and 2x everywhere else, check out the Bilt card.
Remember, if you decide to apply for the Bilt card or any other card, never apply directly through Google – always use a friend or creator’s referral link.

Ashley Peterson from @ashleygetsaround is an expert at finding cheap business class flights and finessing airline status. She has been to over 100 countries, mostly as a solo traveler.
She loves luxury experiences for the least amount of money and she loves helping others do the same.

In this episode, Ashley and I discuss how to rack up tons of American Airlines miles and how to get American Airlines status year after year. We also discuss how she’s able to find some amazingly cheap business class and first class flights all over the world.
If you are looking to earn American Airlines status, putting a lot of spend on a co-branded card such as the Citi Aadvantage World Elite Mastercard can really propel you towards Executive Platinum status!

Sheda from @shedah3 is a middle school math teacher and ex basketball player turned credit connoisseur.
In this episode, Shedah and I discuss how to get status and upgrades on Delta Airlines, whether you’re traveling as a student, traveling with family occasionally, or travel often.
One of the perks of having status might include access to exclusive lounges like Delta SkyClub.

When Ginny Grady from @thegrady_bunch found that she could combine her passions of traveling and saving money through travel hacking, she was hooked! Ginny along with her husband Drew have been travel hacking for over a year now. The world of points and miles has allowed them to fly home to visit family, take weekend getaways, and even visit Iceland!
In this episode, we discuss how to stack different shopping offers to earn more points with different programs each time you swipe your credit card, and how to balance earning more points with introducing more complexity into your strategy.
One of my favorite cards for stacking different gift card deals is the Chase Freedom Flex, which lets you earn 5x on special rotating categories each quarter. For example, if the special category is PayPal, like it is for Q4 2022, you can click through different shopping portals then pay with PayPal, to earn points in multiple places. You could also load up on gift cards to use throughout the year whenever you see a 5x promo that you really like!

Mackenzie from @travelhacksmack prioritizes travel as much as possible while working her 9-5 as an Explosives Engineer. She uses points, miles, credit cards, and other strategies to save money while traveling, whether experiencing a new country, visiting friends or family, or volunteering. In the past year, she's spent $691 on $5,037 worth of economy flights. She loves to create detailed, instructional, and sometimes silly content teaching others how to do the same, regardless of budget, by maximizing point earning opportunities and taking advantage of transfer partners.
One of the keys to being able to book last minute is flexibility, and having cards that earn flexible points definitely helps with that. The Chase Sapphire Preferred’s Ultimate Rewards points transfer to more than a dozen different partners, and it’s the most popular card for people looking to get started with points and miles.
Remember, if you decide to apply for the Chase Sapphire Preferred or any other card, never apply directly through Google – always use a friend or creator’s referral link.

Monique Grey from @moniqueco is a South-Florida based wife and mother who owns a construction management business. She’s addicted to optimization and strategic thinking and really really loves Disney.
In this episode, we talk about some of the most luxurious and aspirational Disney experiences available – everything from dining, to hotels, to invite-only secret-society parties, to private tours and how you can save tens of thousands of dollars on these types of experiences that I personally didn’t even realize existed.
If you’re looking to redeem points for Disney park tickets, the Bilt card lets you redeem points at a rate of 1.25 cents per point, which is currently the leading redemption rate for park tickets amongst the standard flexible points currencies. Additionally, the card has no annual fee and lets you in on so many other perks like exclusive status matches and buy one get one free offers on everything from cruise sailings to SoulCycle classes. I’m a senior advisor for their program, and love seeing all the new offerings they come out with each month!

Kyle and Kenz from @adventure_parks have been married for over four years now. During that time, they have traveled to more than a dozen different countries while experiencing luxurious business and first class cabins and staying at incredible hotels and resorts - all almost exclusively with points and miles. They love all sorts of travel - from tropical island escapes to outdoor hiking adventures to immersive cultural experiences.
In this episode, Kyle, Kenz, and I talk about their incredible trip to South Africa! We’re talking flights, hotels, excursions, and how to do these types of trips if your main airport is a small airport and you have to plan around school schedules when you travel.
One of the products we discuss in this episode is QSuites, which is a bucket list flight for many points and miles people. One of the best ways to book this product is with American Airlines miles, and currently the only flexible points currency that transfers to American Airlines is Bilt. If you’re looking for a no annual fee card that transfers to many different airlines and hotels, has fun and unique perks like giving away airline status on occasion, and even lets you earn points on rent, check out the Bilt card. I’m a senior advisor for their loyalty program, and am so excited about all the cool features the card comes with!

Jerod Morales from @letsgotraveldad and his wife have 4 children - all boys! They both love travel and having a large family. He has a day job in IT and helps his wife with a thriving health and wellness coaching business. Jerod is also one of the moderators of the Award Travel 101 and 201 Facebook groups, as well as the Travel Grumps group...a place to vent about the hard moments of traveling. He recently started writing for the AwardWallet blog, and he writes about travel for East Side Magazine in Austin, TX.
In this episode, Jerod and I discuss how larger families can make points and miles work for them – whether it’s how to find 6 award seats on the same plane, saving on booking multiple rooms, or other tips and tricks that make travel easier when you have 4 kids in tow!
If you have a large family, food costs at the airport can add up, but the Capital One Venture X can help. With the Capital One Venture X, you can add your spouse or significant other as an authorized user, and you can each bring two guests into airport lounges covered by the Venture X for free! That means all 6 of you can enter the lounge and have unlimited food, all through one credit card!

Areli Hobbs from @yesto_travel is the oldest child of a Mexican immigrant family born with the desire to travel the world. Now as a millennial woman in her 30s she is ready to fulfill the travel dreams she never thought possible, all thanks to leveraging credit card points. Areli works a regular 9-5 and supports her husband while he finishes college and she plans to go back to school herself to be a Registered Nurse. In her first year of points and miles she has already been on three trips using points all while coordinating school schedules and a full time job.
In this episode, Areli and I discuss the illusion of the internet when it comes to points and miles. A lot of the accounts you see online do points as their full time job, or they are working towards that, and the redemptions you see on your Instagram might feel really out of reach. This episode is to remind you that for every crazy Instagrammable redemption you see, there are hundreds of redemptions where someone is just starting out and saving hundreds instead of thousands of dollars, and that is just as magical as a $20k first class flight.
If you are just getting started with points and miles, one of the most popular starter card combinations is the Chase Trifecta, which includes the Chase Sapphire Preferred, Chase Freedom Flex, and Chase Freedom Unlimited.

Oli from @olitravelgeek is a points enthusiast based out of London. He first got a taste of the good life through an unexpected upgrade to business class on Emirates. Looking for a way to get back into business class, he started collecting points in 2017 with his wife and they haven't looked back since. Each year they collect over 1m points between the two of them, which is quite an achievement given how much more challenging it is to collect points in the UK compared to the US.
In this episode, Oli and I discuss some deeper strategies for earning and redeeming points with Marriott, especially if you are limited with how many points you can earn via credit card sign-ups. We also discuss some aspirational Marriott properties.
If you’re looking to dive deep with Marriott and you’re based in the US, check out the American Express Marriott Bonvoy Brilliant. They just upped the perks and now you get automatic platinum status with this card, which means you get free breakfast, plus a bunch of other perks!
Remember, if you decide to apply for the Marriott Bonvoy Brilliant or any other card, never apply directly through Google – always use a friend or creator’s referral link.

Maria Cariza from @followingmaria is a travel content creator that worked in the travel industry. As she transitioned out, she still wanted to travel frequently, so she started travel hacking.
Maria is also a resident of Las Vegas, and so in this episode, Maria and I dive into how Las Vegas is ground zero for travel tricks. We’re talking about cheap mattress runs, how to get free nights and food and entertainment, status matching, and so much more!
Along with many of the tricks we discuss in today’s episode, one of my favorite tricks in Las Vegas is the ability to do cheap or free mattress runs to easily get Hyatt status. If you’re looking to build status with Hyatt, the World of Hyatt card comes with automatic Discoverist status and 5 elite nights towards higher tier status as well.

Immanuel Debeer of @flighthacks is originally from Belgium and now lives in Perth Australia where he runs Flight Hacks as a full-time blogger. He is also the co-founder of a bill payment platform in Australia called Frequent Pay which allows business customers to pay anyone using their reward credit card.
In this episode, Immanuel and I discuss the best ways to fly between the United States and Australia on points, and the unique challenges that often make these routes difficult. We will be discussing routes, airline products, and of course, how to do it all on points.
One of the airlines most associated with Australia is Qantas Airlines, and pretty much everyone other than Chase transfers points there. You can use American Express, Citi, or Capital One. With these currencies, some of the most popular cards to use for points and miles are the Amex Gold, Citi Premier, and Capital One Venture X.

Sierra Smith from @highsierrapoints is an aerospace engineer, points/miles enthusiast, dog mom, wife, and avid traveler. She loves creating friendly, digestible content around credit cards and their lesser-known benefits to help make travel more accessible to those who may not otherwise have the means. Her goal is to create an understanding that responsible credit card usage can help you travel the world just by using the right card on your regular expenses.
In this episode, Sierra and I dive into her honeymoon trip to Morocco – we are talking about what she flew, where she stayed, what she ate, and of course, how you can do all of this while leveraging the wonderful world of points and miles.
As you’ll hear in this episode, Morocco was also my first points redemption, and it was kind of by accident. If you’re just getting started with points and miles, I would recommend checking out the Chase Sapphire Preferred, which is the most popular credit card for those looking to get started with points and miles.
Remember, if you decide to apply for the Chase Sapphire Preferred or any other card, never apply directly through Google – always use a friend or creator’s referral link.

Albert Hsieh from @jetalbert is a senior marketing professional and experienced brand strategist with a focus on global brand management, marketing, and commercial strategizing in the aviation industry. He has experience working in JetBlue, China Airlines, the private jet company XOJet, and is the founder of FoxTrot Dash, a fin-tech company that provides recommendations on the best ways to use your points and miles.
In this episode, Albert and I discuss when to use cash vs. points on a booking, different strategies for earning points, and how to decide what to do with your hard-earned points so you don’t go into analysis paralysis.
If you are new to points and miles, all of this can seem overwhelming. If you’re looking for a no-fee starter card that lets you earn 5x on special rotating categories each month, check out the Chase Freedom Flex. Additionally, if you combine the points with a Chase Sapphire account, you can use all of the combined points for travel to get a higher value out of each point.

Note: I apologize in advance that the sound gets a little warbly in some places here -- my podcast editor did the best he could, but the wifi kept cutting out in Puerto Rico which messed with our audio.
Jen Ruiz from @jenonajetplane is a lawyer turned full-time travel writer and author. She is a 5-time Amazon bestseller, 3-time TEDx speaker and 2-time award winning travel journalist. She documents her adventures on her website, Jen on a Jet Plane.
In this episode, Jen and I discuss how to use points and miles to travel to and within Puerto Rico, where she currently resides!
This episode is particularly special to me because I actually had my destination wedding in Puerto Rico years ago before I knew about points and miles. We got married in a boutique hotel and one of the most popular ways to book boutique hotels on points is by using Capital One miles. If you are looking for more upgraded travel experiences, check out the Capital One Venture X which comes with lounge access, a $300 travel credit to use through the portal, top tier rental car status with Hertz, and more.
Remember, please never ever apply for a credit card through Google. Always use a friend or creator’s links to support them.

Pedro de Alba from @viajandoextra is a international business professional that started the points game just months before the pandemic and is now using the knowledge to travel the world with what he's learned. He’s lived and traveled all over Mexico and grew up predominantly in the Jalisco region.
In this episode, Pedro and I discuss some of his favorite Mexican resorts you can book with points. We’re talking about way more than just the Cancun resorts you hear about all the time – we’re covering hotels and resorts in the Yucantan, Mexico City, Baja California, the West Coast, and more!

Stella has been a long-time aviation and points and miles enthusiast, and she currently works in Corporate Communications at JetBlue! Prior to this role, she has freelanced and written full-time for The Points Guy. She can not only tell you all about maximizing points and miles for your dream trips, but from the unique angle working in the aviation industry — and how points and miles are incredibly important to use, even when you get “free” space-available flights from the airline (and its partners)!
In this episode, Stella and I dive into the True Blue loyalty program and how you can get some incredible points experiences with JetBlue – everything from cheap $39 flights to experiencing the luxurious JetBlue Mint cabin across the Atlantic. Quick note though – this episode was recorded before the news about the JetBlue and Spirit merger, so we don’t touch on that in this episode.
If you are looking to book flights on JetBlue, Chase Ultimate Rewards points transfer to JetBlue as well as many additional hotel and airline partners. The Chase Sapphire Preferred is one of the most popular starter cards for people looking to get into the game of points and miles and that sign-up bonus can cover quite a few JetBlue short-haul flights, especially during the flash sales!
Remember, if you decide to apply for the Chase Sapphire Preferred or any other card, never apply directly through Google – always use a friend or creator’s referral link.

Eidref Laxa from @whatsgooddough is a points and pizza enthusiast. When it comes to using points, his philosophy is simple- 90% of his travel is to eat amazing food across the US using the Southwest Companion Pass. The other 10% is used to fly premium cabins, preferably first class.
In this episode, Eidref compares his experiences flying Emirates first class and Etihad first class. Everything from the lounge experience to the onboard service to the actual hard product seat on the plane.

Allison Tackette from @luckytictac is a travel enthusiast and always looking for her next points redemption. She prefers flying first class while traveling around the world solo and prefers luxury hotels.
In this episode, Allison and I talk about Amsterdam and Brussels, and how she did this trip on points. We’re talking flights, hotels, and what to do if you are a picky eater when you travel.
If you’re looking to fly KLM, which is the national airline of the Netherlands, you’re in luck because pretty much all of the flexible points are transfer partners. Chase, Amex, Capital One, Bilt, and Citi points all transfer to Air France KLM Flying Blue.
Some of the most popular cards from these brands include the Chase Sapphire Preferred, Amex Gold, Capital One Venture and Venture X, Bilt card, and Citi Premier, and we have a link to all of those in the show notes for you. Remember, if you are interested in applying for a card, never ever apply through Google, always use a friend or creator’s referral links.

Bryce’s work has been featured in multiple national media outlets including Good Morning America, Money Magazine, and ABC Nightline News.
Bryce created 10xTravel in 2014 and has been hanging out in the points and miles community since 2011.
In this episode, Bryce and I discuss a trip he and his family took to Uruguay and all the things that did not go according to plan on the way there. We’re talking flight delays, lost luggage, and what to do if the same thing happens to you.
One of my favorite credit cards that has trip protections for when travel doesn’t go according to plan is the Chase Sapphire Preferred. In addition to all of the points it earns, you also have trip cancellation and trip interruption coverage, lost baggage coverage, purchase protection, and more. Remember: if you are interested in applying for a new credit card, never ever apply through Google. Always support your friends and favorite creators by using their referral links.

Kendyl Grender from @kendyltravels grew up in a family that considered travel "for rich people." Until she studied abroad in 2013, she had only been to 4 states and had never been out of the country. Making just $34,000 a year out of graduate school, she made a commitment to see as much of the world as possible. Since then Kendyl has become a pretty savvy budget traveler, traveling to 14 countries and 20 US states with her husband, Aspen, for less than $18,000 over the past 5 years. She's not a nomad, a vagabond or a backpacker circumnavigating the globe. Instead, Kendyl utilizes budget travel tricks to travel more and inspires others to live life half full, too.
In this episode, Kendyl and I discuss how she and her husband were able to take a month off of work and explore Europe for only $4000 out of pocket for the whole month. That includes their flights, accommodations, food, excursions, and everything else!
We also discuss some credit cards that gave Kendyl some free nights at different hotels. Some of my favorites are the World of Hyatt, Marriott Bonvoy Boundless, and IHG Rewards cards, which all come with an anniversary free night certificate in addition to all the free nights you can get from the intro bonuses!

Kevin Zanes of @thepointsanalyst is a points enthusiast who leverages his “big data” background to find hidden value in points and miles earnings and redemptions. He grew up traveling the world and his family of 6 visits Switzerland regularly!
In this episode, Kevin and I discuss how Switzerland is a notoriously expensive country to visit, but there are ways to make it more affordable. We discuss flights, hotels and accommodations, food, excursions and more!
If you are traveling or moving abroad from the United States, make sure you have a credit card that has no foreign transaction fees. My go-to card is the Chase Sapphire Preferred, which is also one of the most popular cards for beginners who are looking to get started with points and miles! Remember, if you are interested in applying for a new credit card to earn more points, never ever apply through Google. Always use a friend or creator’s links to help them earn points or commissions.

Niqua of @travelingwithniqua is a travel blogger originally from the Virgin Islands. Her travel platform is focused on helping individuals travel more, by sharing budget travel tips, travel tricks and strategies! She has been featured on Travel Noire and has traveled to over 20 countries and 27 states and is currently on a journey to travel to all 50 states.
In this episode, Niqua and I discuss how to visit the Virgin Islands on points, the best airline routes, points hotels, excursions, and more!
I had the chance to visit the British Virgin Islands myself during a press trip with Bilt last year, and the islands are absolutely incredible! In case you haven’t heard of Bilt, I’m a senior advisor for them and their product makes it easy to earn points on rent without having to pay any fees. They can wire your landlord an ACH payment or mail a physical check, and the points you earn can be transferred to partners like American Airlines, United, Hyatt, and more! Also, while having the Bilt card can help you earn points much faster, you can also earn a lot of free points by completing different challenges in the Bilt app even if you don’t have the card!

Katherine Fan from @katherinefangirling is an editor at Upgraded Points, former senior writer for NerdWallet. Her work writing about travel and credit cards been published by The Points Guy, Bankrate, Creditcards.com, LendingTree, and more.
In this episode, Katherine and I discuss the ins and outs of the hotels.com program and when it might make sense to integrate into your points and miles strategy. Just a note - Katherine doesn’t work for hotels.com and this episode isn’t sponsored by them or anything like that.
Hotels.com is a great program for budget travelers to look into, or if you are a beginner award traveler interested in exploring lots of different hotel brands. If you’re just starting out with points and miles, check out the Chase Sapphire Preferred, which is the most popular starter card for people looking to dive into award travel.

Lauren Rabsatt from @thisishowwedotrips is a 30-something analytics consultant, wife, and mom of two kids under 5. She is committed to making her money work for her, so that her family can see the world without breaking the bank.
In this episode, Lauren and I discuss how she and her family took a fantastic skiing vacation to Lake Tahoe on points, and in case you’ve never looked at the prices for Lake Tahoe hotels – they are expensive! While it might seem weird to have an episode about ski trips in June, it’s actually a great time to start looking at award availability for different ski resorts you would like to visit!
Many of the most sought-after ski resorts are Hyatt properties such as Park Hyatt Beaver Creek, Hyatt Centric Park City, Grand Hyatt Vail, and Hyatt Residence Club Lake Tahoe. If you are interested in staying at a Hyatt ski resort, check out the World of Hyatt card, which earns you a Category 1-4 free night that you can use at hotels such as Hyatt Place Keystone. Remember, never ever apply for cards through Google, always use a friend or creator’s referral or affiliate links.

Shaila Arbona from @travelhackingvida began her award travel journey one year ago and in her first year earned over one million points! Shaila wants to spread awareness about the perks of travel hacking so that more women, families and people of color can access opportunities for travel. She’s also a coaching client of mine, and I’m so proud of everything she was able to accomplish in the last year!
In this episode, Shaila and I discuss how she earned more than a million points and how she used those points to stay at some incredible luxury resorts in California such as a couple of St. Regis Hotels and the Alila Ventana Big Sur, which can often go for more than $3000 per night!
One of the cards that was instrumental in Shaila’s journey was the World of Hyatt card, which lets you earn points towards luxury hotels like the Alila and also helps you to reach Globalist status with Hyatt faster. However, you don’t need Globalist status to enjoy Globalist perks! One thing you can do is ask a Globalist friend to make a Guest of Honor booking for you after you transfer some points into their account, and then you’ll be treated as if you have the Globalist status yourself! If you are interested, I provide the Guest of Honor booking services to my full strategy coaching clients.

Sanjay Sharma of @sanjay1 is the head of Product at @pointme, where he leads the development of products that are helping thousands of people travel better with points. Sanjay himself has used points to travel to over 150 countries!
In this episode, Sanjay and I discuss some of the main challenges people have when they search for good flight award availability, how to save points when you book flights, and some of the ways point.me makes all of this much much easier than it has been in the past.
One of the great things about Point.me is that you can actually filter results by the type of points you have, whether it’s Chase, Amex, Citi, Capital One, Bilt, or something else! Having a variety of cards that work with multiple transfer patterns is a key strategy for when you are leveling up your award travel game. Remember: when you’re ready to apply for your next card that earns flexible points, whether it’s a Chase Ink card, Capital One Venture X, Amex Gold or Platinum, or Citi Premier, don’t use Google. Always ask your friends or favorite creators if they have a referral or affiliate link you can use.

Chris Hutchins from @chrishutchins is an avid financial optimizer and host of the top-ranked podcast "All the Hacks" where he shares his quest to upgrade his life without having to spend a fortune. He has been featured in the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and CNBC.
In this episode, Chris and I discuss how he has earned more than 11 million points and miles, many of them by planning bachelor parties and other group travel, and how you can take advantage of group rates with airlines.
If you're looking to earn a lot of miles by booking hotels and plane tickets, check out the Capital One Venture X card. This card lets you earn 10 points per dollar on hotels and 5 points per dollar on flights booked through their portal, and 2x on all other purchases, making it one of the best cards for miscellaneous expenses. You'll also get lounge access, $100 towards Global Entry or TSA PreCheck, and $300 annually as a statement credit towards travel booked through the Capital One portal. Remember, if you're interested in applying for the Venture X or any other card, make sure you use a friend or creator's referral or affiliate links rather than applying directly through Google or mailers.

Maricris Palentinos from @finessetraveler is a proud 1st-gen Filipina immigrant currently residing in sunny San Diego, CA. Her first flight was when she moved to the US and she didn’t have the means to travel until she was older. Now, she is a passionate traveler who loves to help aspiring jetsetters reach their dream destinations for cheap. She is curating a community where we share ideas and thoughts to not only being able to travel, but maximize the experience.
In this episode, Maricris and I discuss her luxury trip to Guam, and some of the best flight routes, resorts, and excursions if you are interested in visiting Guam yourself!
If you are interested in getting started with award travel, one of the most popular starter cards is the Chase Sapphire Preferred, which can transfer points to many different partners mentioned in this episode, including United, Southwest, and Hyatt. Please be sure to use a friend or creator's referral or affiliate links whenever you get a new card -- if you apply through Google, the banks get to keep that commission money. And they have enough money.

He's flown first class with Korean Air, Cathay Pacific, Lufthansa, British Airways and others. His other hobbies include surfing, hiking, and studying foreign languages.

One of the main transfer partners we discuss in this episode is Avianca LifeMiles, which is great for their rewards program, but not necessarily great for their hard product airplanes. You can transfer points from American Express, Capital One, Citi, and Marriott Bonvoy into Avianca's rewards program. Some of the most popular cards with each of these programs is the Amex Gold, Capital One Venture X, and Citi premier. If you'd like to apply to for any of these cards, please be sure you don't apply through Google, but rather use a friend or creator's referral or affiliate link.

Auburn Berry from @tinytraveler is a petite points and miles enthusiast who’s learned how to use the award travel hobby to travel as much as possible. She’s been in the game for a little over 4 years. Some of her favorite award travel trips include Australia, Iceland, European Christmas Markets and several US domestic adventures.
In this episode, Auburn and I discuss how to travel to Iceland on points and miles, including the best flight routes, points hotels, and excurisons.
One of the main routes we discuss on this episode on through United. If you fly United often, check out the United Quest card. This card comes with $125 credits to United each year to help offset the $250 annual fee, and the card also comes with a $100 TSA precheck or Global Entry credit, 2 free checked bags, priority boarding, and lots of other perks! If you're looking to apply for a new card, be sure to use a friend or creator's link rather than applying through Google or mailers.

Ronnie Dunston from @ronniedunston has traveled to more than 100 countries and has been in the points game since 2013. He currently works full time for the federal government as an IT training specialist and he teaches as an adjunct professor in the college of business and technology and also teaches people how to travel through his Tricks to Travel course and Facebook group.
In this episode, Ronnie and I discuss how he earns more than 2 million Hilton points almost passively each year without churning credit cards -- they get a few through referrals each year but largely earn their points by leveraging the Hilton Grand Vacations program, and haven't paid for a hotel in years. This method has allowed them to stay for free in destinations such as Tahiti and the Maldives!
If you are looking to earn more Hilton points, one of the cards mentioned in today's episode is the Hilton Surpass card, which is a great card for people getting started with Hilton points. You'll earn automatic Hilton Honors Gold status and 12 or more points per dollar when you put hotel spend from qualifying Hilton hotels on your card. If you're interested in this card, always use a friend or creator's referral link -- please don't apply through Google.

Madeline Sall from @madelinesall began her points & miles journey in 2013 with her consultant job and had to get a little more strategic after she left that job & didn't have corporate expenses on her credit cards all the time. Now, she uses her points & miles to attend concerts in other cities & plan last-minute redemptions without planning every day of her trips. She believes that the best use of points & miles is the one you're actually going to use & not always the one that has the best cost per point.
In this episode, Madeline and I talk about a points trip she took to Paris, and how using public transit in Europe -- and really most places where it's available -- can save so much money and sanity, and we discuss some different tricks for navigating public transit while traveling.
To offset the costs of public transit, I'd recommend using a card like the Chase Sapphire Reserve or Capital One card with purchase eraser. Alternatively, you could also use the World of Hyatt card to earn 2x on public transit purchases. If you're interested in any of these cards, please make sure you use a friend or creator's referral link -- do not apply through Google.

Ben Komenkul from @bensbigdeal has been a business traveler since 2009, but didn't discover award travel until after four years of being a free agent. But once he jumped on board the miles and points lifestyle, there was no turning back, and Ben has been an active member of the points community ever since. Last year, Ben spent 58 nights in Thailand and earned more than 150 elite nights with Hyatt. In this episode, Ben and I discuss the best ways to get to Thailand on points and where to stay in Thailand on points. If you are looking to travel to Thailand, or really anywhere else in Southeast Asia, you'll find that hotel free night certificates will allow you to stay in much more luxurious hotels there versus what you can get in the US.
Most hotel co-branded credit cards come with at least one free night certificate, including the Marriott Bonvoy, boundless the World of Hyatt credit card and the IHG rewards credit card. If you are interested in any of these cards, please don't apply through Google. Always use a friend or creator's referral link.

Bethany Walsh from @bougiemiles is one of the OG women in the points and miles world, teaching us how to be bougie on a budget and maximize luxury travel for fewer points, dollars, and credit cards. Her award travel style is focused on helping you travel the world in the most luxurious way possible while keeping spend to a minimum.
In this episode, Bethany and I discuss some of the most luxurious trips she's ever taken, and her unique approach to finding loopholes in different award programs, which lets her maximize rewards past the limits of what most people can imagine.
Bethany and I also discuss her love for casino hotels, which is one of the areas where it's easy to get a lot of luxury without much money or effort. One of my favorite casino program tricks is status matching, especially between Hyatt and MGM. If you have Hyatt Explorist or Globalist, you can match to MGM Gold status, which means you don't have to pay any resort fees when you book directly through MGM's website. Best of all, when you link your Hyatt and MGM accounts, your MGM stays count as Hyatt elite nights! If you're looking to get a jump on your Hyatt elite nights, the World of Hyatt personal card comes with 5 automatic elite nights, a free night certificate, and many additional perks. Remember, if you're interested in opening a new card, never ever apply through Google - always use a friend or creator's referral or affiliate links.

Will Balo from @willbalo is a Canadian points enthusiast based in Toronto. By day, he's a business coach and outside of that, he incorporates real estate investing as a side gig.
In this episode, Will and I discuss all things Aeroplan - the shopping portal, redemption sweet spots, the generous lap child policy, and more!
The great thing about Aeroplan is that most of the major flexible points will transfer to this program, including Chase, American Express, Bilt, and Capital One. Some of the most popular cards for these banks are the Chase Sapphire Preferred, American Express Gold, and Capital One Venture X, which are all linked in the show notes.

Samantha Holland of @almostfreetraveling loves using points and miles to travel to Disney parks and beyond, all while on a non-profit salary!
In this episode, Samantha and I discuss a highly-requested episode topic: how to take cruises - especially Disney cruises - on points and miles.
One of the strategies Samantha discusses in the episode is using Citi points to wipe the cost of your cruise off of your statement credits. My favorite Citi card is the Citi Premier, which comes with a variety of great perks, including the ability to transfer points to Turkish Miles and Smiles, where you can book flights to anywhere in the US - including Alaska and Hawaii - for only 7500 points one way per person. It's a great card to have, especially for families who are looking to save on domestic travel. If you are interested in applying for the Citi premier to save on Disney tickets and or flights, be sure to use a friend or creator's referral links.

Miguel Rueda of @travelsergeant just started learning about points/miles during the pandemic, and now he has accumulated over 1 million points in about 18 months and has flown on some bucket list airline products such as QSuites, Lufthansa FIrst Class, and ANA First Class.
In this episode, Miguel and I talk about one of his first luxury points redemptions, which was flying QSuites to Uganda and his incredible experince with visiting the Ugandan national parks to see the gorillas. We also discuss some tips for how to book hotels, rental cars, and excursions when traveling to Uganda.
If you're interested in earning a million points or more in a short time, one of the best ways is to earn points quickly is by adding business cards into your wallet, and qualifying for business cards is easier than most people think. One of my favorites is the Chase Ink Business Cash card which has no annual fee, a high intro bonus, and lets you earn 5x on internet, phone, cable, and office supply stores. That means, you can pick up gift cards to pretty much any store from Staples and get 5x points! If you're interested in signing up for the Chase Ink Business Cash, make sure you use a friend or creator's referral links.

Kelsi and Devan from @pointsisters have been traveling the world on points since the early '90s. They have lived in Mexico, Puerto Rico, Sri Lanka, Spain, the USA and have traveled to many more. Now based in San Diego, they help others curate once-in-a-lifetime trips using points and miles. When they aren’t traveling, they are sitting on the San Diego beaches, soaking up the sun!
In this episode, we talk about good luck and bad luck when it comes to points and miles -- everything from what to do if your credit cards get shut down due to fraudulent charges to getting rejected for new cards up to how to find award space and take amazing trips using your points!
Speaking of good credit card luck, did you know you can check if you're targeted for special offers like extra 5x bonus categories at www.chase.com/mybonus? This past quarter, I received targeted offers to earn 5x for spending at restaurants or Amazon.com with three different co-branded cards: World of Hyatt, IHG, and United. Many people reported seeing the same offers on their Southwest cards as well!

Kris Abad from @the_frugal_tourist has visited more than 85 countries and loves traveling in luxury frugally by using points and miles.
In this episode, Kris and I discuss all things Singapore Airlines. We discuss how to earn points, different routes, redemption sweet spots, and more! Also, fun fact: Kris' name is spelled "k-r-i-s" like "Singapore Krisflyer".
The great thing about Singapore Krisflyer is that a variety of different points will transfer over. You can use Chase, American Express, Citi, or Capital One. Some of the fan favorites for each of these banks are the Chase Sapphire Preferred, Amex Gold, Citi Premier, and Capital One Venture X. I'd recommend going with the Chase Sapphire Preferred if you are just starting out, but you can find links to any of those cards in the show notes.

If you want to get into points and miles, but don't yet have a 720 credit score, one of the best ways to start dabbling in the points world is through stacking and using shopping portals. One of the most popular in the points world is Rakuten, where you can cash out your points in the form of a check or as American Express points once you have a Membership Rewards account! You can also automate earning points by installing the Rakuten plug-in to your Chrome browser! Please use the link in the show notes to sign up for Rakuten.

Mark White from @armyaggie03 is an Army officer, Texas Aggie, and world traveler having visited 87 countries with aspirations to visit them all.
In this episode, Mark and I discuss different credit card and travel benefits that military families have access to, and an app that Mark used to fund his trip to Brazil while earning points and getting reimbursed for the spend.
For any military families who are able to take advantage of the Military Lending Act, check out some of the premium credit cards such as the Chase Sapphire Reserve, American Express Platinum, and Capital One Venture X. While these cards often have higher annual fees, they are offset by the benefits and travel perks that you receive with each card. Additionally, the Military Lending Act can help waive the annual fees on these cards!
Remember, never ever apply for a credit card through Google, always be sure to ask your favorite friends and travel creators if they have a referral link that you can use to help them earn more points and commissions!

Kristie Gonzalez of @2travelingengineers is a native Texan living in Poland. When her husband took a two-year work assignment, Kristie decided to take a break from her full-time engineering job and make the move with her husband and dog. She now manages 2TravelingEngineers.com a site about her and her husband's travels, points/miles recommendations and expat life tips. In this episode, Kristie and I discuss their life as expats in Poland, and how to visit Poland using points and miles.
Whenever you're traveling abroad, make sure you use a card that has no foreign transaction fees. Personally, my husband and I like to use the Chase Sapphire Reserve for this very reason. The Chase Sapphire Reserve also comes with a $300 travel credit each year and earns 10 points per dollar when you spend on hotels, car rentals, or Chase Dining through the Chase travel portal! Remember, never ever apply for a credit card through Google, always be sure to ask your favorite friends and travel creators if they have a referral link that you can use to help them earn more points and commissions!

In this episode, Lindsay and I discuss how to address some of the hurdles of solo travel, as well as how she planned a fantastic trip to Rome using points and miles!
If you're excited to start your points and miles journey, one of the most popular first credit cards is the Chase Sapphire Preferred, oftentimes referred to as a "gateway" card. Chase points are flexible and transfer to a number of different travel partners, including Emirates, Hyatt, United, and many of the other airline and hotel partners mentioned during this episode if you are interested in planning a trip to Italy! Remember, never ever apply for a credit card through Google, always be sure to ask your favorite friends and travel creators if they have a referral link that you can use to help them earn more points and commissions!

Eric Manaog from @pointsandtravels and his wife Mary Ann migrated from the Philippines to Connecticut 2004 with their 3 kids and have embraced the world of traveling for next to no cost using points and miles.
In this episode, Eric and I discuss how his family was able to earn millions of points quickly so that they could travel in business class by purchasing different gift cards. We also discuss which of the methods mentioned in this episode are no longer available, and which ones he's still able to do today.
One of the most popular ways to earn a lot of points by purchasing gift cards is with the Chase Ink Business Cash card. This card earns 5x points at office supply stores and with other categories such as cable, phone, internet, and more. Staples often runs sales where they waive the activation fees on Visa gift cards. That means, you could use a Chase Ink Business Cash card to purchase a fee-free Visa gift card and then use that Visa gift card almost anywhere, effectively earning 5x on anything! As Eric mentions in this episode, you don't need a large business to qualify for cards like this. Side gigs such as tutoring, babysitting, UberDriving, selling on Ebay, and many other part-time activities have qualified people for business credit cards, which have fantastic perks! Remember, never ever apply for a credit card on Google. Always use a friend or creator's link to apply to help us earn points or commissions. If you're interested in supporting this show when you apply for your next card, check out the links in the show notes. And now, on with the show!

Jessica Long from @ourlonglifeblog is a points enthusiast, photographer, and Mom that loves to share her wins on her blog and Instagram Our Long Life.
In this episode, Jessica and I discuss her first-ever points redemption for a fantastic family vacation to Hawaii and how her family is able to leverage the Southwest Companion Pass to get BOGO flights for up to 2 years.
If you're interested in getting the Southwest Companion Pass, now is the time! One strategy is to get a Southwest Personal Card and earn the 40k point introductory bonus and the Southwest Performance Business Card to earn the 80k point introductory bonus. Between the bonuses and the points you'll earn from hitting the minimum spends, you'll net more than the 125k points you need in order to earn Companion Pass. Once you have earned 125k points this year, you'll have BOGO flights for the rest of 2022 and all of 2023! Remember, whenever you're looking to get a new card, always use a friend or creator's links to help them earn points or commissions. If you'd like to support this show when you get your next card, you can find links to the Southwest cards and other cards in the show notes.

In this episode, Seth, Patrick, and I discuss how the Miles4Migrants non-profit organization uses donated points and money to reunite refugee and asylum-seeking families all over the world, the increase in demand since the fall of Kabul this past August, and how you can help these refugee families this holiday season and all year round.
Whether you are looking to donate miles or use them for your own travels, flexible points are the easiest to work with, and one of the most popular cards for people starting out in the award travel hobby is the Chase Sapphire Preferred, which has many different airline and hotel transfer partners. Remember, never ever apply for cards through Google - always use a friend or creator's links to help spread the love of referral points and commissions.

If you're into the gift-giving, you probably have some gift cards to buy, whether it's for your office friends, your kids' teachers, or to welcome the new family who moved into your neighborhood. Check out the Fluz app to get 35% back on gift cards to merchants like Domino's, Chipotle, and Dunkin Donuts. One of my favorite things about this app is that the gift cards can be puchased for a specific amount, rather than a set denomination, and they are delivered to you almost instantaneously right in the app! Thank you to Fluz for partnering with this episode of the Geobreeze Travel Podcast!

Jess Field from @madepossiblebypoints began playing with points and miles in 2015, and hasn't looked back since! After the birth of her daughter, she knew she wanted to travel more and show her the world, but wasn't sure how to do it on a budget. She quickly learned that her desire to travel was possible with points and miles, and now loves sharing my passion with others!
In this episode, Jess and I discuss how she booked a couple of award trips to the UK for her family of 5, and also how she is planning a luxury trip to Greece this upcoming year, including business class flights and a hotel worth more than $1600 per night!
One of the cards that was most instrumental in Jess' ability to book these business class flights to Greece is the Citi Premier card, which earns flexible points that can be transferred to programs such as Turkish Miles and Smiles --- a lesser-known program that has tons of hidden award travel deals. This card is especially worth looking into if you are over 5/24. Check out the link in the show notes if you are interested in learning more about this card. Remember, never ever apply for cards through Google - always use a friend or creator's links to help spread the love of referral points and commissions. And now, on with the show!

Zac Hood of @itravelfreely was a full-time teacher and non-profit director, and is the founder of the popular award travel tool Travel Freely.
In this episode, Zac and I discuss some ideas for how to earn more points, even if you are on a teacher's salary or non-profit salary and don't have the ability to pump hundreds of thousands of dollars of spend through your credit cards. We also discuss some of the great features of the Travel Freely app, which you can find in the show notes.
One of the best ways to earn a lot more points with each purchase this quarter is with the Chase Freedom Flex card, which earns 5x on Walmart and Paypal in 4th Quarter 2021. Additionally, there is a special promotion this quarter to earn another 4x bonus points on your top spend category, which could be travel, dining, home improvement, streaming, gas, drug stores or more. That means you could potentially earn up to 9 times the points without inflating your budget! Also, the Chase Freedom Flex has no annual fee. Check out the link in the show notes if you are interested in learning more about this card, and feel free to reach out to me on Instagram @geobreezetravel to learn about the 9x stack. Remember, never ever apply for cards through Google - always use a friend or creator's links. And now, on with the show!
As you are doing your holiday shopping, you'll often wish you had a gift card for the exact amount you need so you don't have to worry about wasting a little bit of money or buying something you don't need just to use up the last bit. With Fluz, you can buy gift cards in the exact amount you need on the spot, including tax and tips for restaurants! Download the app via my referral code: GEOBREEZETRAVEL and start earning cashback every day! Thank you to Fluz for partnering with this episode of the Geobreeze Travel Podcast!

Aidi from @whynotfrugal is a wife and mom of three kids currently based in Houston, and she's definitely one of the OGs of the award travel lifestyle. In this episode, Aidi and I discuss some next-level tips for how she and her family have gotten to take quite a few first-class trips around the world, including a detailed breakdown of an incredible trip to Singapore. Aidi also lets us know which of these methods sadly no longer exist, and which ones are still available for you to leverage.
Different tools and methods for supercharging your points earnings come and go. I keep a list of some of my favorite tools at https://www.geobreezetravel.com/tools. Some of these let you earn points that you can apply to travel, such as by converting your Rakuten points to Amex points, and some let you earn cashback through Visa gift cards and other store cards. Remember: always be sure to use someone's referral links whenever you sign up for a new app!
One of my favorite tools to use for stacking points is the Fluz app. For example, if you're looking to earn more points on excursions, try this stack: buy a Groupon giftcard through Fluz for the exact amount the excursion costs on Groupon. Then, click through Rakuten.com to go to Groupon.com and use the gift card you just bought from Fluz. I've earned almost 20% more cashback on travel excursions or even spa treatments with this trick.

Lori from @lorisfamilytravel is a Wife and Mom of 4 kids living in the Phoenix, AZ. She loves cooking and creating, chocolate chip cookies, and home improvement projects. She is constantly thinking about where her family can adventure next, but of course always on a budget!
In this episode, Lori and I discuss a highly requested topic: how can you do a Disney vacation on points and miles? We discuss how to do hotels, park tickets, where to find cheaper souvenir options and more!
Whether your dream trip is Disney World, Europe, the South Pacific, or somewhere else, points and miles can make it more affordable! If you're a beginner and not sure where to start, I offer personalized coaching to help you with your travel goals. We'll put together a personalized 12-month points and miles strategy, and you'll also get a couple of video calls with me, and monthly check-ins and personalized support whenever you have questions about how to earn or redeem your points. Sign up for an introductory call at https://www.geobreezetravel.com/calendly
If you've been following along with our podcast, you know that the best way to get a lot of points quickly is through credit card sign-up bonuses, which are structured like, "get 100k points after spending $3000 in 3 months." It's imperative that you don't accidentally miss this deadline, since that introductory period is your best way to earn a lot of points. Use the Travel Freely app to send you reminders about upcoming bonus deadlines, so that you never miss out on tens of thousands of points!

Tracking all of your credit card annual fees and when they are due can get time-consuming, especially if you are juggling dozens of cards like I do. Luckily, the Travel Freely app keeps me organized by sending me an email reminder whenever one of my annual fees is coming up so that I can call the credit card companies to ask for a retention offer, downgrade, or cancel the card if it no longer serves my strategy.

Alexis and Bertaut from @worldtraveladventurers created the World Travel Adventurers website to share their passion for adventure by using points and miles. They have saved more than half a million dollars in the last 5 years thanks to award travel. As they explore the world with their kids, they share tips for experiencing luxury for less and inspire their audience to make their dream vacations a reality.
In this episode, Alexis, Bertaut, and I discuss how they got started with points and miles, how to travel full time with children, and how they grew their channel and now get to partner with brands such as Alila, Park Hyatt Maldives, and Walt Disney World for hosted stays and sponsored content.
While half a million dollars of savings might seem unrealistic, sometimes the key is just knowing where to look for the redemptions that really optimize the value of each point. In the Geobreeze Travel Patreon, we have recorded masterclasses on redemption sweet spots such as how to fly to Hawaii for about $75 worth of points, where to find award space for hard-to-find awards like QSuites, and how to get up to 8 business class flights off of two credit card sign up bonuses.
Before you apply for any cards, make sure you know about rules like Chase's 5/24 rule that says if you've opened 5 or more cards in the last 24 months, you'll be rejected on your next application. If tracking rules like this sounds overwhelming, then the Travel Freely app is here to help! The app has many incredible features, including a 5/24 tracker and personalized offers based on your current cards. Download the app for free by using the link in the show notes. Thank you to Travel Freely for partnering with us on this episode of the Geobreeze Travel podcast!

Lindsay Bradley from @lindsay_taylor3 has visited all 7 continents, more than 60 countries, and every Disney park, many of those using points and miles during a series of mini-retirements that she and her husband took in 2019 and 2020.

It wasn't just a one-time thing! Looking to build out an arsenal of cards that can help you take life-changing trips like Lindsay's? Check out the cards at www.geobreezetravel.com/cards.

Abdul and Sumaya Bezrati from @game_of_points run the Game of Points blog, which is all about travel, collecting points, and maximizing redemptions. They are a family of four and have been to more than 30 countries. They love the opulence and luxury, but not the high price tags, so they travel hack their way through five-star resorts and premium sky cabins.
In today's episode, we discuss an incredible 10-year anniversary trip that Abdul and Sumaya took around the world in business class with stops in Singapore, Dubai, and Abu Dhabi - a trip that would have cost more than $40K if paid for in cash, which a lot of people on their flights did! We also discuss some cultural considerations about what it's like to be a Muslim person in the points and miles world or just in the world in general, and... it's pretty eye-opening. The hobby of award travel should be available for anyone who wants to take part, and I know it can seem daunting to get started for a variety of reasons. If you'd like some personalized coaching to get started with your points journey or to level up your game, check out the link in the show notes to sign up for a coaching spot.

Do you ever wonder how some people make a lifestyle where they just get to earn tons of points by traveling for work? One of those ways is by being a consultant, like Guy Guyton.

Guy has used points and miles to travel across 17 countries and 30 states over the last 6 years and earns a ton of points in his day job as a consultant.
In today's episode, we discuss what it takes to live this kind of lifestyle and how there are many different types of consulting roles that can fund your lifestyle, both in terms of earning points and a handsome paycheck since these roles tend to pay quite well.

In today's episode, Matt and I discuss how do these affiliate programs even work, how can you get started with credit card affiliate links if you are a small points and miles content creator, and also a short history about how companies like 10x Travel are forced to adapt when banks sometimes just shut down affiliate programs like they did last year.

Alida is a travel hacker who was born and raised in Panama. Quick history lesson: in the 1980s, Manuel Noriega was a Panamanian politician and military officer who was the de facto dictator ruler of Panama. It was during this time that banks were frozen in the country, many of the financial institutions became unreliable, and Alida's family fled and immigrated to the United States.
Fast forward to today: Alida has traveled to 38 countries so far, many of them for free, and loves sharing her travels with her husband and 3 kids. In today's episode, we talk about how she was able to save $10,000 on a 10-night luxury wellness vacation and save $12,000 on a trans-continental European trip that included a segment in the highly-coveted first-class Singapore Suites.
Are you looking to travel like Alida but not sure where to start? If you are fairly new to the game of points and miles, I offer free 30-minute coaching calls to help you get started in the right direction! You can sign up by going to https://www.calendly.com/geobreeze/free-introductory-chat!

Ruby Escalona from @ajourneywelove is a travel hacker, originally from the Philippines and currently residing in Jacksonville, Florida. She married a Slovak so they use their points and miles to travel to Europe, Asia, and around the US yearly while trying to discover new countries in between. She blogs about travel, personal finance, and Florida.
In this episode, we talk about how people who don't have credit scores yet, such as new immigrants to the United States, can get started with travel for free by becoming authorized users, and what kinds of things to watch out for with the authorized user hacks. We also talk about Ruby's memorable experience with travel hacking their honeymoon from Florida to Alaska to get business class seats... except they only ended up with one business class seat for their honeymoon!

In case you haven't already jumped on the CardPointers train, it is an easy-to-use app that answers the fundamental question of "what card to use for this purchase" as well as providing many additional features such as tracking for your statement credits each month.
In this episode, I am going to interview the man behind the app. Emmanuel Crouvisier walks us through his journey of how he got into travel hacking, his transition from his day job as a director of engineering to working on the app full-time, and more. You're going to hear me fan-girl over the app a lot in this episode, and I just want to note -- none of this is even sponsored content. The app really is just that good!
Emmanuel is also a regular guest at our Geobreeze Travel Podcast Off-Air Hangouts, where listeners and featured guests jump on a video call each month to help answer each others' points and miles questions, and Emmanuel has often given out door prizes such as a free month of CardPointers Pro, the paid version of the app that comes with even more features to help with your travel hacking lifestyle. As you've all heard me say before, the best travel hack is making friends who can show you even more travel hacks.

Spencer and Ashley are rising stars in the world of Canadian reward travel, and have booked numerous first-class trips on points and miles, including a $90,000 trip to Dubai. Doesn't even matter if that's in Canadian or American dollars, it's super impressive either way!
In today's episode, Spencer and Ashley share with us some tips for how to take advantage of 2-player mode referrals, how they're able to get a ton of points and miles by being AirBnB superhosts, and some of the key differences between Canadian and American travel hacking programs.
Spencer and Ashley also mention that one of the key ways they've been able to level up their game so quickly is by connecting with others in the Canadian points and miles community, and I couldn't agree more. The best travel hack is always to make friends with people who can show you even more travel hacks.

Panny from @pannyzhao1 and her husband Louie recently hacked an amazing $17,000 honeymoon to Bora Bora, including a first-class flight on United Polaris! In this episode, we are going to discuss exactly how they did that.
Panny is an ER nurse in New York City, so please go show her some love on her Instagram and thank her for all she did during the cluster year of 2020 (and continuing on into 2021). It's also worth noting that she and Louie were able to able to travel hack this trip without the benefits of job-related travel, without side gig or small business spend going through their cards, and without hacky hacks like manufactured spending. It is possible!
Additionally, in this episode, we discuss how to get a free upgrade using my free upgrade email template. You can find this template at https://www.geobreezetravel.com/download-gifts.

Juan Escobar from @juanricardojr recently took an incredible trip to the Maldives, where he proposed to his now-fiance Sarah (congrats again, guys!). In this episode, Juan and I discuss which cards he used to book his first-class flights and overwater bungalow at the St. Regis Maldives, what the health and safety procedures around Covid-19 were like for his trip, and how Juan goes about travel hacking large purchases from distressed houses to engagement rings. Also, if you are looking at planning a wedding anytime soon, please make sure you are strategically allocating all of that wedding spend so that you can get your honeymoon for free like Juan is going to do!

Max from @maxmilespoints is known for creating some of the best graphics that break down points and miles concepts into easy-to-understand 10-slide Instagram posts. If you have ever thought that learning travel hacking was overwhelming and you're not even sure where to start, I highly recommend a visit to Max's Instagram page.
In this episode, Max and I discuss how he was able to fly to 8 destinations around the world in business class for only 125,000 points, which is basically 1 or 2 sign up bonuses. This amazing redemption also includes the story of Max's proposal to his wife at the Al Maha luxury desert resort in Dubai -- a hotel that typically goes for more than one thousand dollars per night! Everyone who's looking for proposal ideas, please grab a pen and take some notes. Maybe spend your next date night listening to this podcast with your significant other...
Max also talks about how your ability to travel hack is very much dependent on how much you know, and as you've heard me say before, the best way to effectively absorb a bunch of points and miles knowledge is to talk with others in the community. If you're interested in learning more about how to book incredible trips like Max's, please come join one of our Geobreeze Travel podcast off-air hangouts! We invite travel hackers of all expertise levels to hang out, ask questions, and offer advice with other points and miles enthusiasts!

Kelly Gagnon from @effthejoneses is hacking everything as a location-independent full-time side hustler -- she's house hacking, travel hacking, dating hacking, you name it. And we're going to be discussing exactly what that means in today's episode!
Additionally, Kelly and I discuss how one of the best productivity hacks we've found, both in travel hacking and elsewhere, has been to simply ask someone your questions. It's seriously such a time-saver!
And I know it can be daunting to reach out and ask for help, either because the person never gets back to you or even worse, you get an unnecessarily mean response on certain internet forums. So to help with spreading the joys of traveling for free, especially to people who have previously felt super confused or like this hobby wasn't for them, I offer completely free 30-minute coaching sessions for you to pick my brain and ask me about your travel hacking questions. You can sign up at calendly.com/geobreeze/free-introductory-chat. See you there!

Today's featured guest is Gio Ramirez from @hella_points_bro.
Gio is a first-generation Filipino American, born and raised in the Bay Area and currently residing in San Antonio Texas. He's run more than 25 marathons and has taken part in some incredibly creative ways to generate side hustle income and points and miles, including being a test subject in clinical trials.
In today's episode, Gio and I discuss how to get out of trouble with Collections, if you find yourself in that situation, and how exactly does payment, miles and points, or pretty much anything else logistically work when you're a clinical trial test subject for days or weeks at a time.

Sheldon Martin retired from the corporate world at age 26 and now runs brands such as Lifestyle Credit Repair and Credit Millenial to teach others about travel hacking and credit.
In this episode, Sheldon and I discuss what I am going to refer to as "level 17 hacky hacks". These are the types of tricks that are far beyond even what I've attempted in my own personal travel hacking lifestyle. We're talking about the kinds of tricks that you would only know about if you are reading the fine print in credit law and regulation, which spoilers -- most of us mortals do not. Today, Sheldon's giving us some samples of the types of tricks he teaches in his insider group to avoid annual fees, generate points and miles without increasing your budget, and more. Enjoy!
