You Don’t Need to Be a Points Expert to Fly First Class with Dr. Priyanka Venugopal
Episode Description
My guest this week is Dr. Priyanka Venugopal, a physician-turned-coach for high-achieving working moms. Priyanka and I have been working together for a while, and she’s here today to tell us all about her first trip with her husband and kids all together to visit their extended family in India. Not only was this trip booked using points, but it was Priyanka’s first-ever first-class flight.
Medical school and residency meant travel wasn’t on Priyanka’s radar, and if she did ever travel to India, it was always in economy. But when she became an entrepreneur and started seeing her peers having luxurious travel experiences, Priyanka was bitten by the bug, and that’s when she started exploring the world of credit card points.
Tune in this week to discover why your points journey doesn’t have to be planned out a certain way. As an entrepreneur, Priyanka didn’t realize how many points she was accumulating. However, when she learned what she was sitting on and how to leverage those points, she was able to book four first-class tickets going halfway around the planet. She just needed to ask for help to make it happen.
