A ton of information

I learned something much. I took a ton of notes. Rewinded a million times. Finally decided to by the hardcover.

Most helpful advice on points

Love Brian’s personality! I’ve learned more about points and applying those points for traveling. Very helpful!

Extremely valuable tips

I liked that he kept the tips simple, but relevant and shared many online tools. The tip about purchasing a gift card for a retailer that would only give you a single point per dollar return, from a store that will give you a multiple point per dollar return, was genius.

I will be using many of these tips going forward.

It’s like getting advice from your older, wiser brother

Fantastic advice given in easy to digest segments making it super simple to implement the best strategy for YOU! I’ve been anxiously awaiting for this book to be released. Brian Kelly has a great reading voice and pace for the audible. He offers practical advice that you can apply to all travel/ income levels and stages of life. I’m looking forward to leveling up the points and miles I earn from my business travels to WIN MORE when booking my family vacations. Loved it so much I just bought the physical book at the airport to give as a gift to my parents who are just starting their points earning journey.

Must read if you love travel

I’ve been following Brian on Instagram for years. He’s so delightful and knowledgeable, and that really shows in this book. I already considered myself knowledgeable regarding points, but I learned SO much more in this book. I took so many notes and cannot wait to apply what I’ve learned. But the best part of this book is Brian himself. His anecdotes, sense of humor, and love for his family and friends is so endearing. And if there’s any theme of this book, it’s that kindness goes a long way and to always be kind to everyone you encounter when traveling. I couldn’t agree more. 5 stars!

Practical Read That Can Save You Money!

I love listening to this audiobook. Brian Kelly explains in exquisite detail how you don’t have to be rich to get great deals when you travel.

Loved it

I loved the passion and joy Brian shows when sharing all this amazing info to everyone.

Simple yet profound

Enjoyed the authors read and the overall general principals hit on traveling well. Insightful.

A joyful book about life, through the medium of travel

An unexpectedly delightful book, which taught me far more than how to earn and uses miles and points. It reaffirmed my long held belief that travel is more valuable than anything material. I did not want the book to end, and the last 2 chapters made my hearts smile

Great insights

Really good detailed information, highlighting the complicated systems of travel. Particularly knowledgeable about the points and miles minefield.
