Creator's Key Takeaways

I identify as Trans financial and I'm in a poor person's body

Using points to travel is a no-brainer. If we're going to spend money on something, why not use a form of payment that brings back something we can use for something we have a passion with?

The Maldives trip had a retail cash value of about $30,000, but we paid $4,400 out of pocket and about 700,000 points

I try to be very transparent about all that, about the expenses. It's not free travel

Creator's Tips & Advice

Use Google Flights to find the cheapest place to fly into Europe
Be flexible with your travel dates and destinations to get the best points redemption deals
Consider the Capital One Venture X card for family travel with lounge access
