Learn about loyalty. Understanding how different airline, hotel, and credit card reward programs intersect and interact is key. This will help you make the most of your everyday purchases.
Choose a travel goal. This can be a weekend getaway, or a dream trip, but it will give you somewhere to focus your efforts (and not get overwhelmed) as you’re learning the ins and outs.
Pick the right credit card. There is no one-size-fits-all card when you’re first getting started, so we’ll help you discover which makes the most sense for your situation.

During a recent trip to Europe, I decided to travel back home the long way, by first flying to the Maldives (and then directly turning around there, as one does). Why? Well, I couldn’t resist the opportunity to fly Beond…

I’ve flown all of the major (and many minor) airlines, including every international first class cabin.
