Today, I'm joined by my friend, points-earning expert Dr. Andrea Mabry. She's here to show you exactly how to earn points by paying off your student loans or by paying for your kid's education. This is taking one of your biggest expenses and leveraging it to earn more points, and Andrea's here to show us how to make this part of a financially responsible points strategy.   Discover how to earn tons of points for expenses you already have: student loans or paying for your child's education. You can't use your cards to pay directly towards student loans or a 529 plan, but Andrea is sharing an amazing workaround to earn points from fulfilling these huge expenses.   Get full show notes and more information here: https://points.pointmetofirstclass.com/blog/paying-student-loans-529-plans-dr-andrea-mabry   Join the waitlist for Points Made Easy here: https://www.pointmetofirstclass.com/pointsmadeeasy
