In this episode of the Lazy Budget Travel Tips podcast, host Genni Franklin sits down with Ionna from @travelpointsandviews to talk about one of the most underrated (and misunderstood) strategies in the points and miles world:
Buying Points.
That’s right—paying money for points can actually make sense in the right situation.
From scoring a $3,100 luxury hotel stay in NYC for just $1,600 to planning a $10K Miraval trip using a clever buy-and-transfer combo, Ionna breaks down when and why buying points is a power move, not a rookie mistake.
You’ll learn:
If you’ve ever scrolled past a “buy points now!” email and thought “yeah, hard pass”—this episode might change your mind.
