  • Early check-in and late check-out
  • Welcome amenities
  • $100 property dining/beverage/spa credit

Nightly rates are usually standard or best available rates.

✈️ Our epic 2024 travel stats may blow your mind 🤯

In 2024, we:

  • Took 67 flights total
  • Travelled more than 117,000 miles around the globe
  • Flew 17 international business and first class products, all booked on points (not counting any mileage or cash upgrades)
  • These 17 award flights were valued at a whopping $126,984
  • But we only paid $3,139 out of pocket
  • Because we covered their cost by redeeming 1,129,000 credit card points!
  • Given the high cash cost, these flights would have cost up to 12,698,400 points in the bank travel portal.. That’s more than twelve million points!
  • But we’ve been able to 12x the value of our points by redeeming through the bank’s airline partners instead!

💼 And a little bit more about what you can expect from us in 2025!

This year, our business priorities are shifting a bit. What does this mean? Well, we’ll be focusing on:

(1) Working with business owners long-term

(2) Focusing on helping our students

(3) Growing our award flight newsletter

Which means that our 1:1 mentorship and our individual award booking service won’t be around much longer…

Most likely, we’ll stop offering them after Q1 of this year.

So if you’re someone who wants to book a 45-minute call with us, or just figure out one of your vacations…

We recommend booking ASAP while you still can!

After we remove them, the only way you’ll be able to directly learn from us is by joining our long-term client consulting network, or enrolling in our Points and Miles Academy.

Unfortunately, as our business grows we have to prioritize services and products that align more with our values and goals, and we don’t know yet whether we’ll be able to offer these again.

But the good news? The great news?

We’ll be significantly expanding our student network…

Because we’ll be introducing at least three more courses this year.

Importantly, these will be accessible courses that are available at lower pricepoints, and break down otherwise complex topics into easily digestible parts!

If you’re looking for examples of topics we aim to cover…

  • Roadmap to earning 500,000 points in the next 12 months as an average spender
  • Roadmap to maxmizing your points-earning potential as a business owner
  • Full guide to booking all of the CHEAPEST economy, business and first class award flights to Europe
  • 1-day quickstart guide to award travel: grasp the foundations in less than a day
  • How to increase and protect your credit score will opening/closing/downgrading cards

So if you’ve got any topic or question that you want us to cover this year – shoot us an email!
