Travel isn’t just for the rich. I teach people how to supercharge their credit card points so they can pay for entire family vacations every year. I've been redeeming miles and points to pay for travel for over a decade. Points have taken our family around the world. But one thing sets me apart -- our family flies economy because business class isn't worth the extra effort for us. But this podca... more

  • Makes it simple!

    Katie‘s title for her channel says it all, she makes points and miles accessible to normal people! I’ve watched travel vloggers years and always seen it as something that I could never actually get into but finding her podcast made me realize otherwise. I’ve now opened my first credit card, the one she recommended, and I’m so happy with everything I’ve gotten out of it so far. If I can do it, you can do it, thank you so much, Katie!

  • Start with Katie!

    I’ve been trying to understand the points game for over a year. I listened to those “moms” talk a little. And that “guy” too, but I was still feeling confused on the details. I was also feeling so overwhelmed on how to choose my next cards. Then I found Katie, and she just makes it all make sense! And I stopped feeling guilty that I wasn’t anywhere close to a super pricey trip around the world in first class. Instead, I’m now simply saving money on the vacations my family already wanted to take!... more
