Nicole Haynes from @nicolestraveltips is a wife, soccer mom to 2 teenagers, marathon runner, and midddle and high school math teacher. Born and raised in Kingston Jamaica, she moved to the US when she was 20 years old. A few years back she used to extreme coupon, which was her gateway into points and miles.

In this episode, Nicole and I dive into her family’s recent trip to Germany, including what they flew, where they stayed, how much it all cost, and how they earned the points. We also cover some of my recent trip to Germany where my husband and I experienced our first ever first class flight on Singapore Suites from Frankfurt to JFK.

If you are looking to level up your travel experiences with perks like airport lounge access for your whole family, top tier rental car status, and a $300 travel credit each year, make sure you check out the Capital One Venture X, which is rapidly growing in popularity as one of the most popular cards for families who like to travel using points and miles.

Remember, if you decide to apply for the Venture X or any other card, never apply directly through Google – always use a friend or creator’s referral link.

And we have the links to the Venture X and the free consultation form for you in the show notes as well. And now, on with the show!
