Why I Wrote This Book

The main goal of this book is to save you money and time. To get your share of the system, you need to know how it operates. Companies make money at every step of the travel booking process, but you can cut out the unnecessary middlemen and put some of that money back in your pocket, and, in many cases, also get better treatment. 

Credit cards are a key part of the travel ecosystem, but you need to understand credit and have a good credit score to play the game. Understanding how credit works doesn’t just open up a world of nearly-free points and miles, it also helps you improve your credit score, which opens up a lifetime of lower interest rates. If you employ the tips I share, not only should you see your points balances rise, but also your credit score. 

Travel should be fun, enjoyable, and memorable. You may think travel is horrible across the board, but it’s amazing when the system works for you. When I travel, I rarely wait in lines. I don’t pay for food and drinks in airports. You can do the same — I’ll show you how.
