Today, we're recapping the incredible adventures of 2023, showing you just how limitless your travel possibilities can be with some clever strategies!

2023 has been a year of remarkable journeys and outstanding savings, all thanks to the art of traveling on points. As we scroll through our camera roles, we can’t believe everywhere we have been! It’s been a rollercoaster of accumulating and redeeming points and miles, and we can't wait to share the highlights with you!

So, let's talk about the credit cards that have been our golden tickets to these adventures. This year, we've outdone ourselves, opening more cards than ever before. Just imagine, Jess alone raked in over 2 million points from welcome offers! We dive into the specifics of managing our credit portfolios, sharing insights on the cards we've canceled or downgraded. Remember, our level of activity is intense, but everyone's points journey is unique, and we encourage you to find your rhythm.

Now, let's whisk you away on our 2023 travel escapades. We're talking about luxurious trips to Australia and Italy, fun-filled family trips to Hawaii and Cancun, and more – all booked with points and miles. Each destination was a new story, from the spectacular Emirates first-class flights to the delightful experiences at all-inclusive resorts.
