Hey there, points people! Today, I'm chatting with Taylor from qcgc.io.
Taylor shares his unique journey from being a points and miles hobbyist to mastering the niche of gift card reselling. This episode delves deep into how Taylor turned this skill into a profitable full-time business, offering insights for anyone interested in travel hacking and earning more points through innovative methods.
We'll explore the strategies Taylor uses for gift card reselling, the challenges and successes he's encountered, and how you can apply these methods to boost your travel rewards.
For those diving deeper into the world of points and miles, consider the Chase Ink business Cash. It's a staple for seasoned and new travelers alike.
Remember, if you decide to apply for the Chase Ink Business Cash or any other card, never apply directly through Google – always use a friend or creator’s referral link.
