023: Fly Free: Convert Miles into $20,000 Worth of Travel – Erik Paquet

1 hour 11 minutes

Today's guest on The Expat Money Show is Erik Paquet, the Co-Founder of Abroaders.com and the Co-Host of Abroaders Podcast on iTunes.

WHAT WE DISCUSSED IN THIS INTERVIEW:

The majority of your points come from using your credit card, not from flying.

The best points for free travel using frequent flyer miles are "Transferable Points."

The worst points for free travel using frequent flyer miles are "Fixed Rate Points."

For the maximum value, spend your frequent flyer miles on flights, and sometimes hotel stays.

The worst way to use frequent flyer miles is for online shopping, where point value can be misaligned with dollar value.

Using frequent flyer miles means only paying airport taxes, typically $50 to $200 per trip.

... and more!
