Level I: The ESSENTIALS
Your Dreams are Closer to Reality Than You Think
Pretty soon you could be relaxing on a white sandy beach while your kids practice building sand turtles. You could be strolling down the cobblestone streets of a quaint European town, exploring the fish markets of Asia, taking an actual African safari or relaxing with a massage at a spa in paradise all for pennies on the dollar.
You have a small budget to travel, but if you could just unlock some secrets that you know exist, you would be able to maximize the trips you can take in a year!
Does any of this sound like you?
Your current vacations consist of packing the family up in a car and road tripping to a cheap hotel somewhere not too far away because it’s all you can afford.
You WISH you could fly to an exotic beach or explore Europe, Asia or more.
You want to take your family to amazing places and stay in gorgeous hotels.
You’d like to fly home to see family more often, without breaking the bank.
Seriously … the world can be your oyster and all for nearly FREE.

Frequently Asked Questions
No! Not if you’re RESPONSIBLE with your cards. If you pay them off in full, every month, your credit score should actually go UP.
Sometimes, but the answer is up to your personal preference. For instance, if one of my most valuable cards has an annual fee of $95, but I’m using all of the perks and I need that card for its flexibility, it’s totally worth it. I suggest you evaluate each card when your annual fee is due and make sure you’re using all of the perks. If not, the annual fee might not be worth it.
Definitely NOT. This was my big mistake as well. I spent 10 years building up Delta points that only got me 4 round trip premium economy flights from the U.S. to Europe. If I had known then what I know now, I could have racked up SO many more points and taken SO many more trips with them. Live and learn, right?
By signing up for one of my favorite apps that does the legwork for you. Travel Freely has a card genie that will keep track of every card you open. All you have to do is input what card you open and the day you open it + when you hit your sign-up bonus. The card genie will keep track of the rest for you.
ALSO – setting up Auto pay on all your new cards will make sure you don’t miss a payment.
Of course! Actually… you are in the sweet spot of getting to hoard those amazing points & miles for yourself, which means more travel & more BUSINESS and FIRST-Class flights. How exciting!
Yes! This is a system of using the legal perks offered by credit card companies to help you save money. They’re dishing it out… Why not take advantage of it?
Absolutely not. If you do that, the banks will flag you as an “unfriendly” and they can take your points back. You need to keep the card open for at least a year. After that, you have the option to keep the card, close it, or downgrade it.
