Description

I started brand new to the points and miles world In September of 2024, now less than 6 months later I have already booked my first trip, worked on the maximizing my card benefits, and have enough points to book trip number 2 as soon as I convince my family that it is a good idea!  I want to show people who are brand new to this world what is possible even when you are starting at the bottom and climbing to the top of the world!
