Travel More. Spend Way Less.
We’re on a mission to see as much of the world as possible, almost entirely on credit card points and airline miles. This is where we show you how to do the same, without drowning in spreadsheets.
Whether you’re opening your first travel rewards credit card, trying to squeeze more value out of the spending you’re already doing, or figuring out how to turn bank points into a bucket-list flight, you’re in the right place.
Meet Ryan & Kate
We didn’t grow up traveling like this. Our points and miles journey started as a simple experiment to save some cash on a trip — and it spiraled fast. Not long after, we got married completely spontaneously in Las Vegas, with no planning at all, just hours before catching a flight home. That set the tone for how we live: travel is where we figure things out, celebrate, and plan whatever’s next.
These days, we’re putting that strategy to work booking upcoming trips to Hawaii, Japan, and Korea — all on points.
