Advanced Ways to Earn Points with Aidi from @whynotfrugal | Ep 50

(Disclaimer: Click 'more' to see ad disclosure)

Aidi from @whynotfrugal is a wife and mom of three kids currently based in Houston, and she's definitely one of the OGs of the award travel lifestyle. In this episode, Aidi and I discuss some next-level tips for how she and her family have gotten to take quite a few first-class trips around the world, including a detailed breakdown of an incredible trip to Singapore. Aidi also lets us know which of these methods sadly no longer exist, and which ones are still available for you to leverage.

Different tools and methods for supercharging your points earnings come and go. I keep a list of some of my favorite tools at https://www.geobreezetravel.com/tools. Some of these let you earn points that you can apply to travel, such as by converting your Rakuten points to Amex points, and some let you earn cashback through Visa gift cards and other store cards. Remember: always be sure to use someone's referral links whenever you sign up for a new app!

One of my favorite tools to use for stacking points is the Fluz app. For example, if you're looking to earn more points on excursions, try this stack: buy a Groupon giftcard through Fluz for the exact amount the excursion costs on Groupon. Then, click through Rakuten.com to go to Groupon.com and use the gift card you just bought from Fluz. I've earned almost 20% more cashback on travel excursions or even spa treatments with this trick. Thank you to Fluz for partnering with us on this episode of the Geobreeze Travel Podcast.
