In this episode, we dive into what I like to call the gateway drug to traveling on points. If you’ve ever dreamed of taking luxurious vacations without the hefty price tag, this episode is for you! I’m breaking down how starting with just one credit card and booking your first vacation on points can be the start of an incredible addiction to travel points.

I'll walk you through the proof of concept that once you see those points cover your flights, hotels, or upgrades for the first time, you'll be hooked. It’s how I got started, and trust me, once you see what’s possible, you’ll want to do it again and again. Get ready to take that first step toward making travel a regular (and practically free) part of your life!
