Points Talk® with the Travel Mom Squad
Are you tired of not being able to travel because it's just so expensive?
Do finances keep you from your dream destinations and making memories with your family?
In this podcast, we show you how you can fulfill that dream of traveling without spending more money.
We've earned millions of credit card points to travel all over the world and take our families on amazing vacations.
Vacations to Hawaii, Europe, and Disneyland are all possible for nearly free with credit card points and miles.
By using credit cards strategically for your everyday expenses, you too can travel for nearly free!
We can't wait to help you get that first, nearly-free vacation!
