Hi, I’m Megan. After 15 years as an insurance and compliance professional, I made the life-changing decision to step back and focus on what truly matters- prioritizing family and financial freedom. As a long-time penny pincher and deal finder, I found myself paying for convenience during my busiest years. I was eager to get back into finding the most value wherever possible. Although no stranger to credit card rewards, my mind was blown when I discovered the power of points and miles when used strategically.
My journey into the world of points and miles began as a way to stretch my dollars further. What I didn’t expect was how much passion I would find for mastering the art of rewards travel. I love piecing together unforgettable trips, while reaping real, tangible benefits along the way. My family especially loves visiting Aquariums and experiencing new International destinations. I never thought one less income would lead to MORE travel possibilities!
On this blog, you’ll find my best tips on everything from earning points to redeeming them for incredible experiences, along with personal finance insights and money-saving strategies. So, how will you get there?
Virgin Atlantic is such a valuable program in the world of Points and Miles. Not only can you easily earn and transfer points, now you can pool points with household members for free!
Read about how I took a 16-day Trip to Italy using Points, Miles and Money balancing luxury and a budget. I’ll show you the exact amounts of Points and Cash spent on Flights, Accommodations, Trains, and Experiences.
The most unassuming dish from my trip to Italy turned into a recipe I make on repeat at home. Have you vacationed somewhere and brought home a recipe that reminds you of your travels?
