Ever wonder how we manage to open so many credit cards and score loads of points? Well, today, we're going to spill the beans! Get ready for a deep dive into our credit card strategies. We'll also share how many points we've racked up in 2023. Can you believe one of us has already hit a whopping 1.8 million points this year? Can you guess who?

It's been a fantastic year for award travel so far, and business cards have been the secret sauce! But hey, remember, everyone's situation is different, and what works for us may not be the best fit for you. So, always do your research and find what suits your goals and lifestyle.
