So some years back, 2017 to be exact, I came to a revelation. I decided that instead of PAYING for a plane ticket, I was going to accumulate enough points & miles to cover a “YOLO” trip. Specifically Africa (Nigeria), Thailand, Tokyo, or Dubai. All of those trips would be an $1000+ ticket, so I wanted to have that part of the trip covered without having to worry about any “out of pocket expense”.
I applied for my 1st travel card then, and THAT started my journey down the “rabbit hole”. Now I have 10+, and enough points & miles to fly ANYWHERE in the world multiple times.
Like most of you, I used to look at credit cards as a way to buy sh#t that I couldn’t otherwise afford, which in turn led to a “hamster wheel” of credit card debt. In my journey to get OUT of credit card debt (a whole ‘nother story) I “conditioned” my brain to think differently about credit, and a whole new world opened up to me. Now instead of requesting line of credit increases, I’m periodically requesting them to LOWER my line of credit (I currently have over $100,000 of available credit that I would NEVER use), cause if your line of credit is too high they may start requesting income verification document. And I ain’t trying have no credit card company all up in my biz, ya dig… So like I said, while I used to be someone who used credit cards to pay for things I couldn’t afford, NOW I used points & miles for things I otherwise WOULDN’T pay for (#bars! 🎶) . Like when I stayed at the Park Hyatt in New York, a hotel that’s upward to $1,400 per night, I used points and paid $0. For example you can literally have 100 people on a plane, and ALL of them paying DIFFERENT prices. There have been times where I paid less flying First Class, than someone did flying Economy. Get familiar…
Now common sense will tell you that the easiest way to obtain flyer miles, is to do what? Exactly! FLY… That’s actually NOT the case. The easiest way to obtain points & miles is the signup bonus from opening a new credit card. Which is why I have so many. Duh!
There is NOTHING that I do as far as traveling that any one of you can’t do. It just took me years of research, trial & error, and mistakes. That knowledge I’m willing to share with you, by first showing you how to accumulate the points & miles, then later showing you how to maximize the USE of them.
