Ryan from @profits and points is an enthusiast of all things personal finance, award travel, credit cards, investing, and helping others. He is based in Washington DC, and during the day, he works as a senior data analyst.

In this episode, we talk about how to get started with points and miles, when is it worth it (or not) to get airline and hotel status, and lessons Ryan has learned from starting an e-commerce business to earn points and money.

There are so many ways to monetize this hobby or use your side gigs to earn more points and miles! These methods can include selling on Amazon, hosting on AirBnb, and more! If you're interested in learning about different side gigs that can earn you a lot more points and miles and money, check out this month's masterclass where we will cover ideas on how to get started!

Tracking all of your credit card annual fees and when they are due can get time-consuming, especially if you are juggling dozens of cards like I do. Luckily, the Travel Freely app keeps me organized by sending me an email reminder whenever one of my annual fees is coming up so that I can call the credit card companies to ask for a retention offer, downgrade, or cancel the card if it no longer serves my strategy. Check out the Travel Freely app by using the link in the show notes. The app is 100% free! Thank you to Travel Freely for partnering with us on this episode of the Geobreeze Travel podcast!
