Sass. Strategy. Award travel Therapy. Rolling through the Malaysian countryside in a train seat that reclines just enough to ruin your posture. Booked my Tokyo flight with ANA miles like a responsible adult. No sambal packets exploded during the making of this column. (Google it...)
Thinking of chasing points and miles? It only works if you play by the golden rule: pay your credit card in full and on time, every time. Skip that, and you risk fees, debt, frozen rewards, and a credit score hit. We break it all down — with real stories and real numbers.
Whether you’ve got 4 days or 14, this guide is going to break down how to get there on points, where to stay for free (or close to it), and how to have a trip so epic, your group chat will go silent in envy...
Nonprofits are leaving thousands on the table by sticking to cashback and basic travel cards. With the right strategy, everyday expenses can fund donor trips, team travel, and global impact—without spending a dollar more. Here's how to tap into award travel the smart way.
