Why Do This?

A new reader asked me what the point of “all this” is. She explained how it looks like a lot of work and just couldn’t understand the motivation. Based on her suggestion, today’s post is going to be a little different.

Below are 5 amazing vacations you could go on using airline miles and hotel points. I’ll also show what it would cost people who doesn’t collect miles and points. The prices are estimates of first-class flights from LAX and a 10-night stay in a nice hotel for 2. Hopefully this will motivate more than just one person!

Maldives 
(Flights $16,500 each + Hotel $6,000) = $39,000

Bali 
(Flights $15,250 each + $7,000 Hotel) = $37,500

France
(Flights $8,500 each + $7,500 Hotel) = $24,500

Rio de Janeiro 
(Flights $9,000 each + $4,500 hotel) = $22,500

Bora Bora 
(Flights $8,000 each + $6,000 Hotel) = $22,000
