How It Started
Our journey into the world of travel rewards began with a simple credit card. As loyal Southwest card users, we were shocked to discover we had earned the coveted Companion Pass—mostly from covering the expenses of a major home remodel. It was during COVID, and once the world started opening up again, we took full advantage, flying for nearly free (just covering minor taxes and fees).
While we loved the ability to travel anywhere in the U.S. and even a handful of international destinations, we quickly realized one thing was missing—free lodging. That’s when I thought, “There has to be a way to stay for free, too.” My curiosity turned into an obsession, and I immersed myself in learning everything there was to know about earning points & miles for free hotel stays. That knowledge transformed the way we travel the world, and now, I help others do the same.
