Points and Miles can help ordinary people travel to extraordinary places.
Let me share a little of our story. For much of our lives we focused on budget travel which often involved staying with relatives. This was a good way to take vacations and stay connected with people we cared about. Then over time we wanted to expand our travel to include more international trips, it was around this time that we discovered the world of points and miles. Little by little we learned to earn and redeem hotel points and airline miles. As a result, the world of travel opened up to new levels. We’ve had the privilege of…
- Staying in a renovated palace that overlooks the grand canal in Venice
- Eating filet mignon while flying in an airplane seat that turns into a bed
- Lounging on day bed at an an all-inclusive hotel in Cancun
If we paid cash, these trips would be sky high! Instead, we booked these adventures using points and miles. We’ve experienced once-in-a-lifetime trips with the help of widely available rewards that can be earned by average, everyday people. Points and miles can help ordinary people travel to extraordinary places.
