Points Talk® with the Travel Mom Squad 1. Traveling On Points & Miles: How We Got Started and You Can Too!
Welcome to the FIRST ever Points Talk with the Travel Mom Squad!
We are Alex, Pam, and Jess! A trio of Moms who love to travel the world for nearly free, thanks to credit card points and miles. Now we are on a mission to help you and your family do the same! (Without spending more money.)
Maybe you may have seen us on a viral clip on TikTok or Instagram with a quick tip or maybe this is the first time you've heard of us! Either way, we are so glad you are here.
We've earned millions of credit card points that allowed us to travel the world and take our families on amazing vacations. As you can imagine, there is only so much you can share during a quick video on social media versus a deep-dive conversation. That's why we started this show!
This podcast has been a long time in the works, and we couldn't be more excited to share even more tips and tricks you need to know. We believe that anyone and everyone (not just moms) can Travel On Points.
To start things off right, we want to debunk the myth that you must be collecting points for years or spend a bunch of money to earn points before going on one of your dream trips. This is 100% a myth and we will prove it! In this episode, we share what traveling on points means, how we got started, and our favorite trips using points and miles.
By the end of the episode, you'll be ready to bust out a vision board and start planning all the trips you never thought you could go on. We will give you a look into our favorite trips to Scotland, Greece, Italy, Hawaii, and other amazing places. The best part? Some of these trips cost less out of pocket than a meal at a fast-food restaurant…not even joking.
