Summary

In this episode, we’re talking about one of my favorite topics: How to use travel rewards to fly and stay for free. Our guest, Lyn Mettler, discovered in 2015 a way for her family of 4 to use travel rewards to always fly for free. Today, she teaches hundreds of families her simple system through FamiliesTravelFree.com. She thinks she’s saved around $75,000 using her simple point system over the years. That’s some serious cash if you ask me. We talk about it all in this episode, including how to get you to as many places as possible and bring as many people with you for as few points as possible; instead of credit card hacking, you will get an understanding of the right card to put your everyday spending on, why she’s a huge fan of the SouthWest companion pass, and Lyn’s signature tips to save on HALF your next Disney trip. If this is your year to travel, but you’d like to spend as little money as possible, this episode is for you. In fact, you’re going to want to share it with everyone you know because the tips are right on the money. Links Families Fly Free website Thank you for being a part of our community!
