023: Fly Free: Convert Miles into $20,000 Worth of Travel – Erik Paquet

Today’s guest on The Expat Money Show is Erik Paquet, the Co-Founder of Abroaders.com and the Co-Host of Abroaders Podcast on iTunes.

WHAT WE DISCUSSED IN THIS INTERVIEW:

• The majority of your points come from using your credit card, not from flying.
• The best points for free travel using frequent flyer miles are “Transferable Points.”
• The worst points for free travel using frequent flyer miles are “Fixed Rate Points.”
• For the maximum value, spend your frequent flyer miles on flights, and sometimes hotel stays.
• The worst way to use frequent flyer miles is for online shopping, where point value can be misaligned with dollar value.
• Using frequent flyer miles means only paying airport taxes, typically $50 to $200 per trip.
• … and more!
