203: How To Use Points To Travel The World For (Almost) Free – Trevor Wright

Trevor Wright started his company in 2014 called Mile Method, a 1-on-1 service that helps Americans travel anywhere in the world for almost free by earning and redeeming US credit card signup bonuses. North Dakota-born, Nebraska-raised, his travel experiences have evolved from study abroad student to broke backpacker to the luxury traveller. He has averaged $13 per flight to 133 countries while staying free in many of the world's most prestigious hotels.  

TODAY'S CONVERSATION WITH TREVOR

• How to earn a million points and travel the world for (almost) free.
• Is collecting miles only for Americans, or does it work for Canadians and Europeans also?
• What kind of miles are we talking about? Are we looking at one flight company like Star Alliance over One World Alliance or larger organizations?
• We talk about the ‘Golden Rules of Finance. This is a must-listen-to section of the podcast; this is for everyone with a credit card!
• And what about improving your ‘credit score’? Trevor shares his biggest tips and tricks to get the best credit card results!
• Learn how to ‘absorb the credit history of another user’ you’ll love this.
• So much to unpack in this episode on miles and points, what airlines to work with, which credit cards are the best and with the devaluation of currencies, should we use our miles ASAP?
• Lastly, we discuss how you use these points, what you can get with them, and why getting hotel points is just as important as airline miles points.

Join Me In Panama For Our Next Tour

I have great news. After many meetings and explanations, the Panamanian government has agreed to keep the Investors Visa at a $300k Real Estate investment instead of nearly doubling the amount required, as they said they would. This is a massive win for our community who wants to move to or invest in Panama, but I am not sure how long this will last… If you have been thinking about Panama, then I want to make an invitation to you today. Come join me for a special four-day tour to see if the country I call home is right for you and your family. We have just released the next set of trip dates. You can find out more at ExpatMoney.com/fly. Come visit me and the Expat Money team, get a feel for the country and see if Panama makes sense for investment or as a new home.
