24. Using Status in the Game of Points and Miles: Marriott, American Airlines and More With TravelMoreCon Creator @AshleyGetsAround

In this episode we sit down with Ashley Peterson, founder of Ashley Gets Around and the TravelMore Conference. We dive into why she thinks status is even more valuable than credit card sign up bonuses! Learn about saving money on checked bags and upgrades with American Airlines, as well as knowing your status benefits and how to maximize them at Marriott Hotels. We were fascinated to hear all about her transition from her previous career to becoming the creator of the only female-owned business class deals list of its size. If you are planning to attend TravelMore Conference like we are, you are going to LOVE hearing from this iconic boss-lady! In addition, we also chat about planning a trip to the Hyatt Baha Mar in the Bahamas.EDIT***- timestamp- 35 minutes in: We says that you can use Marriott free night certificates in combination with the 5th night free! This is actually incorrect! 5th night free CAN be used on award nights but not with free night certs!Join our NEW Facebook Community (Don't Miss Points 101 on Facebook Live)Sign up for our newsletterFind us on Instagram:Podcast InstagramJoMary EllenAshleyTravel More ConferenceMentioned in this Episode:Travelmorecon.comAshleyGetsAround.com@EmilyEatsandExplores@LuckyTicTac@PointSistersLinksChase/Capital One/Amex Card LinksFlyKitt- the BEST Jet Lag Solution!30% off the CardPointers subscription!Tripiamo Driving TutorialsOur Favorite Travel NecessitiesWe receive a small commission when you choose to use any of our links to purchase your products or apply for your cards!
