Rich sits down with Eli Facenda – Entrepreneur and Founder of Freedom Travel Systems, which helps other entrepreneurs maximize luxury travel points to unlock bucket list travel experiences. Eli has visited 42 countries in the last 5 years and is able to leverage credit card points to get on average around $100k of luxury travel per year.

Rich and Eli start off by discussing being connected through Jack McColl, travel hacking, millennials as sharers, utilizing credit cards effectively, Eli’s craziest trip that he’s paid for using only points, first class international flights, AmEx’s travel platform & revenue pricing models, Rich’s experience in Buenos Aires, maximizing credit point earnings and credit point values, the tax benefits of using credit card points, the fastest way to get to elite status, which cards Eli recommends for travel, AmEx Gold vs. AmEx Platinum, and the wrong way to use credit card points.

They then reflect on Eli’s company, Karlton Dennis, traveling without an itinerary, the best time to buy an airplane ticket, SetJet,  the ROI of flying first class, the most limiting belief to credit card points, airport lounge access, Nectar Island, top tier status, the AmEx Centurion Card, what trips Eli is looking forward to this year, Norway in the summer, Eli’s top 3 cities he’s been to.

Lastly, they talk about Budapest, Ireland, Turkey, David August, Eli’s trip to Uganda, and the best way to go on a safari trip.
