Do you know that points and miles are valuable but have no idea how to use them? Or where to even begin?
If you like the idea of points and miles but find the topic overwhelming and difficult, this is the course for you. I’ve developed a simple system for earning and redeeming points and miles that will allow you and your family to travel for free.
Have you earned points and miles but you don’t know how to use them? Is it better to pay with cash or points?
If you’d like help planning and booking a trip, I am a registered Travel Advisor. I will guide you in deciding what should be booked with points and when you should pay cash - making sure you earn max points on any cash bookings!
If you own a small business and make charges on credit cards (inventory purchases, advertising, shipping, travel, etc.) you’re sitting on a HUGE opportunity!
Points are not taxed and they can be used for business or personal travel. Make sure you're earning the maximum number of points - and redeeming them effectively!
Hi there!
I'm Sarah — mom to two wonderful boys, local business owner and avid travel enthusiast. I earned an MBA from the University of Colorado in 2007 and went on to found a manufacturing business which I’ve successfully run and managed for the past 17 years. Along the way, I noticed that one of the “cash back” business credit cards was actually accumulating points which I had the option cash out. I had heard that points could be used for outsized value for travel but how exactly…..
I dove into the topic and I've spent the last few years learning how to use credit card points and miles to allow my family to travel for (almost) free. Along my learning journey I analyzed our personal spending habits and the “rewards” we earned in exchange for our spending. What I learned truly blew my mind — managed correctly, it is absolutely possible for families to book frequent flights and hotel stays for no out of pocket costs! Individuals can earn enough points to allow for frequent travel and if you own a small business with business spending, the journey is even easier and more rewarding.
As a result of correctly managing our personal spending, we currently take 4-5 trips per year including one international trip. All of this while maintaining a perfect credit score and sticking to our family budget. It sounds too good to be true doesn't it? That's what I thought too but it's very attainable. You can read about some of our recent trips and how we were able to travel for nearly free in my Travel Journal.
I've figured out how to simplify the process so that it's easy to earn and redeem the points you need without much ongoing effort and have successfully taught my system to many friends and family members.
I'd love to teach you too.
As I continue to learn more about points, our family trips have gotten better and better!
While our trip frequency and distance have continued to increase, our travel budget has stayed the same. We now average 4-5 trips each year with at least one international trip. It still blows my mind that this is possible and I cannot stop telling everyone I know about points!
I have begun to document our travels in the Travel Journal so that others can see what is doable. Whenever possible, I’ll tell you what we did to get the free flight, hotel or meals.
If you’re interested in points and would like to learn my simple system for earning and redeeming points to amplify your travel budget beyond what you thought might be possible, I encourage you to join the Miles Ahead Community. You’ll be able to learn the steps needed to travel for free and talk with others about the trips they’ve put together.
It takes 6-12 months if you’re starting from scratch before you depart on your first free vacation so don’t wait! Learn which points you need and how to redeem them so you can get that trip booked!!
What People Are Saying
“By following Sarah's guidance, my family of four is booked on round trip flights to San Diego, we're staying for three nights at a category 5 hotel and we have club access so breakfast, lunch and dinner are all included.
All of this is with zero dollars out of pocket! We'll only have to pay for lunches, Lyft rides and souvenirs!”
