Listen Later

Dreaming of a tropical getaway filled with white sand beaches, turquoise waters, and luxurious overwater bungalows? Look no further than French Polynesia's Bora Bora. And the best part? You can make this dream a reality with the power of points and miles.

Pam had Bora Bora at the top of her travel bucket list, her dream was to stay at the Conrad Bora Bora, a luxurious hotel known for its exceptional reputation. To make this dream a reality, Pam started collecting Hilton points by getting American Express Hilton cards.

Alex shared Pam's dream of staying at the Conrad Bora Bora or the Conrad Maldives. Both the Conrad Bora Bora and the Conrad Maldives are highly sought-after properties, considered bucket list destinations for luxury travelers.

At the Travel Mom Squad, we're always on the lookout for ways to make our travel dreams a reality without breaking the bank. That's why we're thrilled to share our recent trip to Bora Bora, where we used our hard-earned points and miles to experience this idyllic destination in style.

From the moment we arrived at the airport, we were transported to a world of beauty. The crystal-clear waters and lush greenery were enough to take our breath away, but the adventures and spa experiences we had is really what made the trip so incredible.

Whether we were sipping on pina coladas or enjoying a meal, we felt like we were truly living the dream. It's no secret that these top hotels are not cheap, either in cash or in points. However, with a little bit of traveling points know-how, Alex and Pam were able to make their dream trip a reality using their hard-earned points and miles!

So if you're dreaming of a trip to Bora Bora or any other luxury destination, don't let the cost hold you back! With the help of points and miles, you too can experience this idyllic destination on a budget. Bon voyage!
