Take your Bae to Mexico City for a Valentine’s celebration. Mexico City is foodie heaven, so it’s the perfect place to have an amazing meal to celebrate your love!

Economy flights to MEX on Aeromexico start at 7,000 miles one way and the Business class starts at 15,500(from Texas airports), 21,500 from others.

How to book:

➡️Transfer points to Virgin. All the major banks(AMEX, Citi, Capital One) transfer to Virgin Atlantic. You’ll need a Virgin Atlantic account to transfer your points.

⭐️AMEX currently has a 30% transfer bonus to Virgin, so you can book some of these flights for just over 5,000 points each way in economy and 12,000 in business.

💵 The cash prices range from $400-600 roundtrip for economy and $700-1200 , so this is a pretty good deal.

If you’d like me to go into more detail about transferring your points vs. using points in the portal in the future, comment “Transfer”. If there is strong interest I’ll do a series on transfers.

Roatan, Honduras is a hidden gem because it can be SUPER EXPENSIVE to get to. Check out these fares on American Airlines from 16,000 miles roundtrip. Some of these same flights start at $630 roundtrip, so using points makes this a steal.

IHG has just opened a new Kimpton hotel in Roatan that is also bookable with points.

There are plenty of people that have the cash to sit up front but I AM NOT paying full price for it!

We’re able to take multiple vacations each year because we have learned how to use our daily spend in our favor.

By opening credit cards for sign up bonuses and only spending money on our normal expenses, we’re able to amass a bunch of points to spend on travel.

You don’t have to be independently wealthy to travel on points. Here are a few of our expenditures that help add to our points bank:

1. Daycare

2. Utilities(Internet, Gas..etc)

3. HOA(home and rental properties)

4. Groceries

5. Gas

6. Car/Homeowners Insurance

The list goes on. If you even have a fraction of these expenses, you could be bringing in at least 2,000 points per month. More if you learn how to maximize points.

Are you missing out on points by not paying with a credit card?
