Credit Card Points, Rewards Miles, & Travel Hacking with Nick Ewen of The Points Guy
MTP3: How to Optimize your Frequent Flier Miles and Rewards Points to Travel for Free!
I got Nick’s story on how he was able to travel while his wife was still in school and how they did it for free.
Nick says, start small, and not worry about signing up for every single points and mileage program in the world, and really helps us focus on what we want out of the travel hacking game. He gives his recommendations for best travel credit cards, best frequent flier programs, and how optimize rewards points.
Nick has 21 open credit cards and claims that there has been no effect on his credit score! We talk about what the top no annual fee cards are and how someone with a small budget can travel frugally without paying fees. We also talk about what the best frequent flier allegiances are and how to navigate this complex game!
We also do a rapid fire round where Nick gives me his favorite travel related recommendations...
