Hey there, points people! Today, I'm chatting with Brendon, a student from the Points Accelerator Program.
In this episode we dive into how many points were spent to fly Brendon and his husband to Sydney in lay flat seats, the best spots to visit and stay during a layover in Los Angeles, earning points without opening a ton of cards and so much more!
For those diving deeper into the world of points and miles, consider the Chase Sapphire Preferred Card. It's a staple for seasoned and new travelers alike.
