Ep 288: The Travel Points Game: How to Travel More, Spend Less, and Upgrade Your Adventures

What if the money you're already spending every month could take you somewhere you never thought you could afford to go? In this episode, I'm sitting down with Kelly Butler, The Points Maven. She's helped her clients book over $700,000 in free travel using credit card points, without carrying interest or hurting their credit scores. We talk about how a health crisis changed her relationship to "someday" travel, and what that shift made possible. She walks through the exact strategy she used to book that trip, and how she now helps her own clients do the same thing.    Come on in!   After booking $700K+ in free travel + hundreds of credit card recommendations... The #1 question Kelly gets: "What's the best travel credit card right now?"  But - that's actually the wrong question.  It's not a one-size-fits-all and the best card is all about your existing household or business spending, your travel goals, and where you fall on the Bougie Scale!   Cut the guesswork and get your card recommendation with The Perfect Card Quiz.  Take the Quiz   In This Episode, You'll Also Learn… Why asking "how could I make this possible?" opens doors that "I can't afford this" keeps shut What actually affects your credit score when you open a new card Why the goal is finding the right card for you, not the "best" card out there   Links Mentioned in the Episode: Take Kelly's free quiz to find your best travel credit card match: quiz.thepointsmaven.com Follow Kelly on Instagram: @thepointsmaven Email Kelly directly: [email protected] Join my FREE Masterclass:  "How to Stop the "Start Over Tomorrow" Weight Struggle Cycle and Begin Releasing Weight for Good."
