How to make 2025 your year of travel.

I’m dubbing 2025 the year of travel.

• Clients are doing some truly insane trips.

• We’re far from COVID.

• I’m flying in business class for the first time.

• So many juicy credit card bonuses + airline/hotel deals.

If you’re not getting serious about traveling this year, what are you even doing?

But I know you are, because you subscribe to this newsletter.

So let’s talk about how to make this year the best year of travel ever.

Earn some points, people.

You’re gonna need some points to make your travel dreams happen. For normal people, the best ways to do this will be:

1) New credit cards.

2) Referral bonuses.

Here’s my top cards right now…there’s so many good ones, you really can’t go wrong.

I do have to highlight the Chase Ink Business Unlimited/Preferred.

• You can earn 200k referral bonus points per year (wild).

• You can earn a 90k bonus from the Preferred (taxes, anyone?)

Redeem those points in the right places.

Doesn’t matter how many points you have, you HAVE to use them well.

How do you know what a good deal is?

Cents per point.

General rule: if the deal is greater than 2 cents per point, it’s a good deal.

How to calculate cents per point.

The only way you’ll ever beat 1-1.5 cents per point is by learning how to effectively transfer points to airline & hotel partners.

As you’ve seen, this can be confusing and difficult, but it can be done.

I transferred 210,000 Capital One Miles to Air Canada to book $18,000 of business class flights for my family to Switzerland.

These are the kind of deals you should be after - they’re out there, I promise!

The best way to find these deals?

Get a pro account with seats.aero ($10/mo). It’s the best tool for scanning airline programs for the best deals.

Supercharge the whole process with the coolest thing I’ve ever offered.

I’ve never been more excited about an offering.

I’m running a points & miles cohort starting January 21st.

• 3 high-value sessions.

• 1 trip planning power hour.

• Course access.

& so much more. I’m taking 12 (more) people on a journey of mastering points & miles to make 2025 the year of travel.
