What if the money you're already spending to run your family photography business could also fund your next family vacation? In this episode, I'm sitting down with travel points coach Megan Lanford of Points Too Paradise to break down the actual system behind earning and using credit card points for free travel. I also put Megan on the spot and have her walk me through planning my son's birthday trip to Universal Studios Orlando using points.
Megan went from barely affording one family vacation a year to taking seven vacations annually, saving over $30,000 on travel (and it's continuing to grow too!)
She now teaches moms and business owners how to turn their everyday spending into dream vacations through her course and membership, the Travel Points Academy.
What you'll hear in this episode
- The step-by-step system behind earning travel points (it starts with one card and your existing expenses)
- Why you should stop using your debit card and what to use instead
- How signup bonuses work and why they're worth way more than earning points on everyday spending alone
- A live walkthrough of how I'm planning a trip to Universal Studios for my son's 4th birthday using points
- How Megan's student Dara booked flights to Ireland and Germany within two months of starting
- The one free app that keeps Megan organized across 30 credit cards
- How to use points for conference travel (Megan flew to a Florida conference for $22.40)
- Why your points are losing value the longer they sit unused
- What a realistic 15-minutes-a-week version of this system looks like
