Having recently wrapped up a year-long adventure that took us all over the country and beyond, I wanted to share some of our lodging stats from the last 12 months.

What’s In Our Wallet – August 2018 Edition
As you may already know, Becky and I have a lot of credit cards. We’ve acquired the majority of them over the past few years by taking advantage of large signup bonus offers with the goal of heavily subsidizing our travel expenses. With 70 new credit cards between us and several million points and miles […]
Purchasing Points For The First Time
Since starting our travel hacking adventures nearly 4 years ago, we never purchased points or miles to pad our balances. Credit card signup bonuses and other promotions have been more than sufficient to cover the entirety of our flight and hotel needs, but our needs have changed ever since we quit our jobs to travel […]
A Cabo San Lucas All Inclusive on Points, Miles, and $164

Ever since we first got into the […]
Blogging Sabbatical Recap – FinCon, Running 50+ Miles, MoviePass, and More!
This is my first post in almost two months after I took an unplanned, unannounced sabbatical from blogging recently (did anyone notice?). There was no specific reason for the break, but now I’m back! Despite the blog being quiet, our lives have been quite the opposite. In the past two months, we attended FinCon, I […]
The Plan For Our $450 Annual Fee Chase Sapphire Reserve Cards
Just over a year ago, Becky and I were both approved for shiny new Chase Sapphire Reserve (CSR) credit cards. Each new card came with a hefty $450 annual fee (not waived), but that fee was offset by a generous 100,000 point signup bonus and $600 in travel credits over the first cardholder year. Technically, […]
Guest Post: The Ultimate Credit Card Rewards Hack
Today, I wanted to share some great content from my favorite blog written by an accountant: The Wealthy Accountant! It’s not a traditional guest post in that Keith wrote it specifically for this website, but rather he gave me permission to share his writing here on my own blog. This post covers an amazing credit […]
