Travel Education and Tools
The $7 Book that will teach you how to get started.
Don’t know where to get started? This book is all you need.
Every year - credit card companies pay hundreds of millions of dollars to travel bloggers, actors, and influencers. Since they get paid hefty commissions for every new credit card you get - they try to convince you that if you want to fly and stay for free - you need to sign up for 10 to 20 new credit cards a year.
Spoiler alert: You don't need anywhere near that.
This simple, straight-forward book gives you all of the perks and savings of travel-hacking WITHOUT juggling lots of credit cards, attending timeshare presentations, taking flights with an obnoxious amount of layovers, or irresponsibly racking up debt by spending money you don't have - just to earn points.
