“I never thought I could be someone who could afford to fly business class.”

That sentence hits hard. We know that comfort in travel feel out of reach, especially for families. But with points & miles, the story changes: Flying lie-flat to Tokyo. Couples honeymoon in the Maldives.

We haven't seen it discussed much but there's a 15% transfer bonus from Capital One to Avianca Lifemiles until 2/12. Don't sleep on it, Lifemiles does have some amazing uses if you know the sweet spots ⬇️

Transfer bonuses are exciting… but they can also trick you into bad decisions.
Have you ever transferred points just because there was a bonus, even without a plan?

Rachel runs a small piano studio, spends $3K–$4K monthly, and earns 400K–500K points a year.
Her secret: time new cards around tax season and use quarterly tax payments to hit multiple bonuses.
Massive travel from regular expenses.
What’s your biggest quarterly expense?

Domestic award flights can be tough to get good value from.
Many U.S. airlines use dynamic pricing or tie award prices directly to cash fares, so costs spike fast during peak travel. This is where partner award bookings shine.

Create core memories without the core price.
Instead of your kids learning Greek mythology from a textbook… you fly the whole family to Athens in business class to see it in real life.
That’s what points and miles make possible.

If you’re a business owner spending thousands each month on ads, shipping, payroll, software, or quarterly taxes… you’re sitting on a goldmine most people never use.
That spend could be turning into luxury travel instead of wasted points.

I spent 14 nights at the Hyatt Regency Cape Town on my recent trip to South Africa and the total cost was under 50,000 points. Each night was just 3500 points, much much less than what other hotel chains like Hilton and Marriot charge. What's a great value hotel booking that you made?
