We love using points to help pay for travel. Listed below are some tips, how-tos and examples of how we’ve used points. Note that we primarily travel with kids and we are generally not luxury or business travel focused. I recommend getting 1-2 new cards a year and use those points to pay for a trip per year. The destination can be Hawaii/Japan/ Europe/ Disney/Wherever you want! I’ve talked about this before often with friends but I wanted to provide some resources more focused towards beginners.
