Listen Later

(Disclaimer: Click 'more' to see ad disclosure)

Zac Hood of @itravelfreely was a full-time teacher and non-profit director, and is the founder of the popular award travel tool Travel Freely.

In this episode, Zac and I discuss some ideas for how to earn more points, even if you are on a teacher's salary or non-profit salary and don't have the ability to pump hundreds of thousands of dollars of spend through your credit cards. We also discuss some of the great features of the Travel Freely app, which you can find in the show notes. 

One of the best ways to earn a lot more points with each purchase this quarter is with the Chase Freedom Flex card, which earns 5x on Walmart and Paypal in 4th Quarter 2021. Additionally, there is a special promotion this quarter to earn another 4x bonus points on your top spend category, which could be travel, dining, home improvement, streaming, gas, drug stores or more. That means you could potentially earn up to 9 times the points without inflating your budget! Also, the Chase Freedom Flex has no annual fee. Check out the link in the show notes if you are interested in learning more about this card, and feel free to reach out to me on Instagram @geobreezetravel to learn about the 9x stack. Remember, never ever apply for cards through Google - always use a friend or creator's links. And now, on with the show! 

As you are doing your holiday shopping, you'll often wish you had a gift card for the exact amount you need so you don't have to worry about wasting a little bit of money or buying something you don't need just to use up the last bit. With Fluz, you can buy gift cards in the exact amount you need on the spot, including tax and tips for restaurants!
