Hey, I’m Mike!
My journey into the world of credit card points started in an unexpected way: my identity was stolen. Dealing with the fallout forced me to dive deep into how credit really works, and somewhere along the way, I realized that taking control of your finances opens doors far beyond just improving your credit score. I’ve also always been passionate about traveling and cultural exchange. What followed was becoming obsessed with finding the best deals, and realizing credit cards, miles and points could help me do just that!
“Getting more for less” became my mantra, and since my obsession began, I’ve visited 32 countries, taken flights with 33 different airlines, and traveled over 200,000 miles — enough to go around the world more than eight times! I’ve stayed at everything from a budget Hyatt to luxury 5-star retreats, and enjoyed every second of it.
In 2026, I decided to quit my corporate job and take the time to build my business, becoming a digital nomad and pursuing my passion. I hope to help you get the most out of your credit card points, discover hacks and the secrets to getting the best travel deals, and stretch your travel budget farther.
Thanks for following along!
