Real trips, mostly paid in points

Start slow. Then go fast.
Simple wins come first. The fancy business class redemptions come later.

Hi, I'm Mindy
I spent my career as a teacher, and I still love helping people figure things out. It started with a Facebook post from a local mom and one card. Now our family travels mostly on points, and I share every tool and shortcut that made it easier.
My one rule: start slow to go fast. You can absolutely do this too.
