High On Points

In this trip report episode, Lori spills all the details of her spring break multigenerational trip to Amsterdam including how she used points to book all of her hotels and flights, the activities they did, and much much more. I do apologize that my audio for the first 6 minutes or so of the episode isn’t great but it does get better. 
Ever get that “just booked feeling” of excitement when you score a great points redemption? Is your heart is racing, thinking of the awesome experience you are about to have and how it only cost you a tiny fraction of the sticker price? Did you take that dream trip and were left feeling like you just have to do it again?  Yeah, we know the feeling too, it’s High on Points.  

Hear how I used our recent family spring break trip to maximize my credit card coupon redemptions. Listen in to hear how my credit cards helped me offset a few thousand dollars of trip expenses in Washington, D.C.!

Hyatt is planning to update their award chart in May with some not so great changes which will significantly increase how many Hyatt points it will cost you to book a room. These changes affect everyone, but have a major impact on families who need more than 1 room per night.
