    What's the Point of all these Points?

    November 8, 2017

    I've had a few people ask me what the point of all my credit cards are, which made me realize it was important to revisit an important question:

    What's the point of credit cards points?

    There are several new options for how to redeem credit card points with credit cards...

    February 1, 2017

    I have had several people ask me lately what the best way to get to Europe is, and it's a very interesting question right now.

    At first glance it seems obvious that you would want to redeem miles for a flight across the pond, right?  After all, my main tenant here is us...

    >

    I'm fortunate to have been traveling all my life, but a few years ago my hobby became a true passion.  It was not only the actual act of going new places, but the allure of finding ways to do it in style.

    Now, there are loads of travel blogs out there.  I give a lot of them credit for helping develop my hobby into my passion, but they are generally focused on the upper-echelon levels of travel, most of which are hard to attain for those of us that do not travel regularly for work or other reasons.

    My main focus will be for the infrequent traveler, those of us that scrape by to get lower-level status if we're lucky.

    I want to share my world and my strategies, and hopefully it will bring you some joy and luxury.

    Make sure you keep reading and sharing with your friends.

    Let the mayhem begin!
