Whether you are a family looking to take a road trip, an engaged couple planning your luxury honeymoon, a solo traveler looking to take a backpacking adventure through Europe, or any other combination — this hobby can accommodate any type of traveler.

That's what I love about it! No matter your travel style, it will allow you to stretch your travel dollars so that you can travel more, travel for less, and free up money in your budget.

Booking with points can feel like a steep learning curve, but I'm here to be your guide.

What You'll Learn

In this course, you'll learn everything you need to know to get started. We'll go step by step on topics like how to keep your credit score high to my favorite ways to earn points. You'll also learn different ways to redeem points for flights and hotel stays for great value. I will cover some of my favorite redemptions, my favorite tools, and favorite credit card benefits.

What I Won't Cover in Depth

Any course has a scope and I can't cover everything. For that reason, this course is focused on beginner to intermediate tips and strategies.

One topic I won't be covering: how to book business and first class flights. Now you could absolutely take the general information I give you and use it to book business class seats! But I won't delve into specific business class flight strategy for earning and redeeming points. That's for a few reasons.

First, business class typically requires more points, higher taxes, and either a lot of flexibility or a long lead time to book. Business class redemptions for families are even more challenging to find availability for. They absolutely exist and are possible, but there are a lot of nuances.

Because booking business class has a lot of nuances, the information can change quickly as far as which specific sweet spots exist and a course isn't a great place to have info that needs to be regularly updated

I also won't be covering elite status and how to earn it using points. Again, this is a whole other topic and while we do this a bit for ourselves, not one that fits in the scope of this course.
