Seth Stanton is a cofounder of @Miles4Migrants; he's also a credit card churner and a former moderator of the /r/churning subreddit. Today, he's joined by Patrick from the Miles4Migrants award booking team on today's episode.

In this episode, Seth, Patrick, and I discuss how the Miles4Migrants non-profit organization uses donated points and money to reunite refugee and asylum-seeking families all over the world, the increase in demand since the fall of Kabul this past August, and how you can help these refugee families this holiday season and all year round.

Whether you are looking to donate miles or use them for your own travels, flexible points are the easiest to work with, and one of the most popular cards for people starting out in the award travel hobby is the Chase Sapphire Preferred, which has many different airline and hotel transfer partners. Remember, never ever apply for cards through Google - always use a friend or creator's links to help spread the love of referral points and commissions.

Planning a Family Points Trip to the UK and Greece with Jess Field | Ep 57 Nov 23, 2021

Show notes

(Disclaimer: Click 'more' to see ad disclosure)

Jess Field from @madepossiblebypoints began playing with points and miles in 2015, and hasn't looked back since! After the birth of her daughter, she knew she wanted to travel more and show her the world, but wasn't sure how to do it on a budget. She quickly learned that her desire to travel was possible with points and miles, and now loves sharing my passion with others!

In this episode, Jess and I discuss how she booked a couple of award trips to the UK for her family of 5, and also how she is planning a luxury trip to Greece this upcoming year, including business class flights and a hotel worth more than $1600 per night!

One of the cards that was most instrumental in Jess' ability to book these business class flights to Greece is the Citi Premier card, which earns flexible points that can be transferred to programs such as Turkish Miles and Smiles --- a lesser-known program that has tons of hidden award travel deals. This card is especially worth looking into if you are over 5/24. Check out the link in the show notes if you are interested in learning more about this card. Remember, never ever apply for cards through Google - always use a friend or creator's links to help spread the love of referral points and commissions. And now, on with the show!

Zac Hood of @itravelfreely was a full-time teacher and non-profit director, and is the founder of the popular award travel tool Travel Freely.

In this episode, Zac and I discuss some ideas for how to earn more points, even if you are on a teacher's salary or non-profit salary and don't have the ability to pump hundreds of thousands of dollars of spend through your credit cards. We also discuss some of the great features of the Travel Freely app, which you can find in the show notes.

One of the best ways to earn a lot more points with each purchase this quarter is with the Chase Freedom Flex card, which earns 5x on Walmart and Paypal in 4th Quarter 2021. Additionally, there is a special promotion this quarter to earn another 4x bonus points on your top spend category, which could be travel, dining, home improvement, streaming, gas, drug stores or more. That means you could potentially earn up to 9 times the points without inflating your budget! Also, the Chase Freedom Flex has no annual fee. Check out the link in the show notes if you are interested in learning more about this card, and feel free to reach out to me on Instagram @geobreezetravel to learn about the 9x stack. Remember, never ever apply for cards through Google - always use a friend or creator's links. And now, on with the show!

As you are doing your holiday shopping, you'll often wish you had a gift card for the exact amount you need so you don't have to worry about wasting a little bit of money or buying something you don't need just to use up the last bit. With Fluz, you can buy gift cards in the exact amount you need on the spot, including tax and tips for restaurants!

If you are a small business owner, one of the best cards to have is the Chase Ink Business Unlimited. You'll earn an easy 1.5x for all of your business expenses and pay no annual fee!

That way, the cashback introductory bonus you earn on the Chase Ink Business Unlimited card can be used as travel points when transferred to a Chase Sapphire Preferred or Chase Sapphire Reserve!
