Alexis and Bertaut from @worldtraveladventurers created the World Travel Adventurers website to share their passion for adventure by using points and miles. They have saved more than half a million dollars in the last 5 years thanks to award travel. As they explore the world with their kids, they share tips for experiencing luxury for less and inspire their audience to make their dream vacations a reality.
In this episode, Alexis, Bertaut, and I discuss how they got started with points and miles, how to travel full time with children, and how they grew their channel and now get to partner with brands such as Alila, Park Hyatt Maldives, and Walt Disney World for hosted stays and sponsored content.
While half a million dollars of savings might seem unrealistic, sometimes the key is just knowing where to look for the redemptions that really optimize the value of each point. In the Geobreeze Travel Patreon, we have recorded masterclasses on redemption sweet spots such as how to fly to Hawaii for about $75 worth of points, where to find award space for hard-to-find awards like QSuites, and how to get up to 8 business class flights off of two credit card sign up bonuses.
Before you apply for any cards, make sure you know about rules like Chase's 5/24 rule that says if you've opened 5 or more cards in the last 24 months, you'll be rejected on your next application. If tracking rules like this sounds overwhelming, then the Travel Freely app is here to help! The app has many incredible features, including a 5/24 tracker and personalized offers based on your current cards. Download the app for free by using the link in the show notes. Thank you to Travel Freely for partnering with us on this episode of the Geobreeze Travel podcast!
