Redeeming $20,000 in Travel with the Points Made Easy Course

Episode Description

My guest this week is a client in my Points Made Easy program who recently sent me a message saying that she had redeemed points worth $20,000 in travel in just one year. I immediately had so many questions and I knew I needed to get her on the podcast so we could have a real conversation about this.

Cherie is a pediatrician and the founder of Doctor Moms Lounge, a membership designed to help women physicians take the busywork out of “momming” so they have time for what matters to them most. On one hand, I was not surprised she managed to redeem $20,000 in points in 12 months. But considering she had no interest in points travel a year ago, this is an extraordinary jump.

Tune in this week to discover how Cherie went from having zero points-earning credit cards to redeeming $20,000 worth of rewards travel in just 12 months! Cherie’s story of understanding how much rewards points are really worth is a game-changer. If you’re thinking that rewards travel isn’t worth the hassle, this episode is for you.
