One of the vacations people ask me about most is our stay at Hilton Moorea Lagoon Resort & Spa in French Polynesia — and honestly, I still can't believe we booked it with Hilton Honors Points! Every evening, sharks and rays swam right up near the dock while we watched the sunset.

Our family review of the Hyatt Regency Maui — the pools, the penguins, Club Lounge access, and the exact card strategy we used to book it with points.

A beginner's guide to Hyatt Club Access — how Milestone Rewards actually works, how to earn (or even gift) a Club Access Award, and the properties where it's worth using.

Delta SkyMiles® American Express Cards just got some valuable updates families will actually notice — plus a limited-time offer running through 7/15/26. Here's a breakdown of the Gold, Platinum, and Reserve cards to help you figure out which one actually makes sense for your family's travel.

The Chase Aeroplan Credit Card doesn’t get as much attention as I think it deserves! Keep reading to see how it could be a helpful card to have in your wallet.

This is the card I started with and the one I recommend to literally everyone. Right now it's back at its all-time high welcome offer AND just got better as an earner — new bonus categories, a doubled hotel credit, and more. Here's my full breakdown.

The Ink Business Cash® Credit Card and Ink Business Unlimited® Credit Card just hit their highest-ever welcome offers — and neither one has an annual fee. Here's everything you need to know, including how to turn that cash back into travel that's worth way more than $1,000.

Everyone has heard the standard advice when it comes to Hilton points:

• “Half a cent per point.”

• “Not a great transfer partner.”

• “Better to use your points elsewhere.”

That perspective is common—but it often overlooks one important detail: American Express Membership Rewards® transfer to Hilton Honors at a 1:2 ratio, meaning every 1 Membership Rewards® point becomes 2 Hilton points.

Chase just announced a refresh of the Sapphire Preferred — and most of it is great news. New earning categories, better credits, stronger protections, same $95 annual fee. But there's one change that Hyatt lovers need to pay attention to, and a short window to do something about it. Here's the full breakdown and exactly what to do.

Here’s how to choose the best United Airlines credit card for families based on how you actually travel!

How our family of 5 visited Rome, Cinque Terre, and Florence for about $2,000 out of pocket using points and miles - full itinerary, hotels and booking details included.

I’ve personally used these airline miles for domestic flights, Japan, and Iceland!

The new Capital One Venture Business card offers up to 150,000 bonus miles, 2X on every purchase, 5X through Capital One Business Travel, and helpful built-in credits. Here’s what to know before you apply.

These new elevated offers are some of the highest I’ve seen in a long time — up to 300,000 points from a single welcome offer! Here’s my take on who these are actually a good fit for (and when they make sense)

Wyndham Rewards offers a small but interesting selection of all-inclusive resorts that can be booked using points.

For couples, these redemptions can provide exceptional value since the room, meals, drinks, and entertainment are all included. Families may need to factor in additional guest fees or multiple rooms, but even then the ability to cover the base room cost with points can significantly reduce the overall price of the trip. Especially with unlimited food, drinks and entertainment. Sign me up.

If you’re looking for a way to stretch your Wyndham points further, an all-inclusive redemption could be worth considering—especially when you compare the cost to paying cash for the same vacation!

We took our family of 5 to Athens, Santorini, and Paris for spring break—and used points and miles to cover flights and hotels. In this post, I’m sharing our full itinerary, what we loved (and what I’d do differently), plus tips for visiting Disneyland Paris and navigating Europe with kids.
