Hi, I'm Mackenzie I went from pinching pennies to be able to take trips every month, including multiple international trips each year!
Growing up Ioved traveling and exploring new places. When I graduated from college and started working, I had a good job and somehow still could not afford any of the travel I wanted to take. I had also moved across the country and needed to use every ounce of travel budget I had to visit loved ones back on the East coast.
When I discovered points and miles, it was a total game changer! I went from spending $600 on a last minute flight to visit my parents to spending $5.60 and a handful of points on that same flight, or even a flight to the other side of the world. Points and miles has made it possible for me to be there for friends and family in my life, and it's also made it possible for me to get a full nights rest (and free champagne!) when flying in a lie-flat seat to Asia.
It took me a while (and so many mistakes) to understand the ins and outs of points and miles, and how to find the good points and miles deals, which is why I'm excited to show you my methods!
