Sound familiar?
Every time you search for flights and cringe at the prices, someone else is booking the same seat for $27 in taxes and fees.
Every time you put a hotel on your credit card, someone else is staying in a $400-a-night hotel for free.
And every time you think "travel hacking sounds complicated," you're leaving another trip on the table.
"I always assumed points and miles were for people who fly for work constantly. I had no idea a regular family could rack up enough points to travel internationally. I was completely wrong."
— A common realization after reading this bookHere's the truth: travel hacking isn't complicated. It's just a system most people never take the time to learn. The airlines and banks designed these programs on purpose. They want you using them. The miles sitting in your account are a liability on their balance sheet.
You just need someone to show you how it works.
The real story behind this book
About 14 years ago, my wife and I used a 75,000-mile signup bonus to fly to Costa Rica. We paid almost nothing out of pocket. She told me she was pregnant on that trip.
I had no idea that trip would turn into a 14-year habit that would take our family to Japan, South Korea, Austria, Hungary, Croatia, Ireland, and more than 20 countries total. Most of those flights cost us under $100 per person in taxes and fees.
When I transferred Chase points to United and booked 4 one-way tickets to Croatia, that's what we paid. Total. For all 4 of us. The cash price for those same flights was over $3,000.
I'm not a wealthy guy who flies business class everywhere. I'm a volume traveler. I'd rather take my whole family to Argentina than sit alone in a premium cabin seat. This summer we're flying all 4 of us to Buenos Aires on 160,000 American Airlines miles for flights that would cost $6,400 in cash.
This book is the system I wish I'd had on day one. Everything I've learned, tested, and refined over 14 years. Written so anyone can pick it up and use it.
Real redemptions. Real numbers.
These aren't hypotheticals. These are real trips booked using the exact strategies in this book.
What's inside
This isn't a surface-level overview. Each chapter goes deep so you actually know how to use what you're learning.
"I've been meaning to get into travel hacking for years but every resource I found was either too basic or so advanced it made my head spin. This book hits the sweet spot perfectly. I applied for my first card the day I finished Chapter 3."
"We just booked flights to Portugal for our family of 4 using points we earned in 4 months. The chapter on the Southwest companion pass alone was worth 10 times the price of this book. Genuinely life-changing for how we think about travel."
"The sweet spots by region chapter is something I'll reference every time I plan a trip. I had no idea you could fly Qatar Airways Qsuites to Africa for 75,000 American miles and $16 in fees. That kind of specific, verified information is exactly what I was looking for."
"My husband and I have been married 8 years and always talked about a trip to Europe. We finally booked it on points after reading this. Business class to Paris for $375 total. I cried when we boarded. This book made that happen."
"I was skeptical. I'm not a big spender and I don't fly for work. But the section on meeting minimum spend through normal household expenses completely changed my perspective. We hit our first bonus in 6 weeks just by paying our regular bills on the new card."
"The chapter on transfer partners finally made everything click for me. I had 80,000 Chase points sitting in my account for two years not knowing what to do with them. Two hours after reading this I had flights to Japan booked for our family."

About the author
I didn't start as an expert. I started with a credit card signup bonus and a flight to Costa Rica with my wife before our first child was born.
Since then I've taken my family to Japan, South Korea, Austria, Hungary, Croatia, Ireland, and more than 20 countries total. Most of those flights cost us under $100 per person in taxes and fees. This summer we're flying all 4 of us to Buenos Aires on points for flights that would cost $6,400 in cash.
I'm not a wealthy guy who travels for work. I'm a regular person who learned a system and used it consistently for 14 years. This book is that system, written so anyone can pick it up and use it on their very next trip.
For less than a tank of gas, you'll have a complete roadmap to traveling the world on points.
