We are an independent publisher. Our reporters create honest, accurate, and objective content to help you make decisions. To support our work, we are paid for providing advertising services. Many, but not all, of the offers and clickable hyperlinks (such as a “Next” button) that appear on this site are from companies that compensate us. The compensation we receive and other factors, such as your location, may impact what ads and links appear on our site, and how, where, and in what order ads and links appear. While we strive to provide a wide range of offers, our site does not include information about every product or service that may be available to you. We strive to keep our information accurate and up-to-date, but some information may not be current. So, your actual offer terms from an advertiser may be different than the offer terms on this site. And the advertised offers may be subject to additional terms and conditions of the advertiser. All information is presented without any warranty or guarantee to you.

This page may include: credit card ads that we may be paid for (“advertiser listing”); and general information about credit card products (“editorial content”). Many, but not all, of the offers and clickable hyperlinks (such as a “Apply Now” button or “Learn More” button) that appear on this site are from companies that compensate us. When you click on that hyperlink or button, you may be directed to the credit card issuer’s website where you can review the terms and conditions for your selected offer. Each advertiser is responsible for the accuracy and availability of its ad offer details, but we attempt to verify those offer details. We have partnerships with advertisers such as Brex, Capital One, Chase, Citi, Wells Fargo and Discover. We also include editorial content to educate consumers about financial products and services. Some of that content may also contain ads, including links to advertisers’ sites, and we may be paid on those ads or links.

Before You Get Started

Welcome to the Million Mile Club – You’re Now a Million Mile Secret Agent!

We’ve earned and redeemed millions of airline miles and hotel points — most of which we earned without flying in planes or staying in hotels!

We’ve flown in First Class and been pampered in luxurious hotel suites. But we’re just as happy seeing exciting new places by traveling in coach — as long as we pay with points instead of cash! 🙂

We believe everyone can use airline and hotel loyalty points to travel for free – whether it’s a trip in First Class to Thailand or a family visit to grandma in Florida.

We have visited over 30 countries in 6 out of 7 continents, and have flown on International First Class (where tickets cost ~$20,000 per ticket) to Europe, Asia, and the US, many times for virtually no money.

Now we want to give back. We get an amazing feeling when y’all tell us how you’ve traveled!

So Many Folks Who Never Thought It Possible Are Now Traveling!

We’re proud and humbled to have earned the trust of ~40,000 daily readers and over 245,000 followers on Facebook!

But Before You Begin…

Be sure to read my post on the 5 Dangers of Applying for Credit Cards before getting into this hobby. Collecting miles & points isn’t for everyone. This may not be for you if you don’t:

pay your bills on time
have a credit score of at least ~700
pay attention to detail or
track your credit card balances

And you shouldn’t get into this hobby if you plan to take out a major loan within the next 2 years (mortgage, car, student, etc.)

If you have a credit score significantly below ~700, it is better to fix your score 1st and get into this hobby afterwards.

You can estimate your credit score for free by using the tool on CreditCards.com. You’ll see your credit score and report. This service can help you monitor your credit moving forward.

Expect to invest some time and effort into organization and shopping. But the pay off is Big Travel with Small Money!

For many folks reading this blog, they’d NEVER be able to afford First Class tickets to the Maldives or a bungalow in Bora Bora. So the time spent earning miles is worth more than they could ever earn by working overtime or at a 2nd job.
