Show Notes

Jessica Austria from @fromourpointsofview and her husband Dom focus on how to get a first luxury travel on credit card points. They want to let people know that traveling luxe is doable and that anyone deserves to! Their first redemption was Emirates business class roundtrip from Newark to Athens.

In this episode, Jessica and I discuss how she and her husband plan trips around her nursing schedule and his CPA schedule. We also discuss different ways to use your credit card incidental credits and other benefits and some mindset tips to keep in mind as you play the game of points and miles.

If you love shopping on Amazon, make sure you activate the Q2 bonus categories on the Chase Freedom Flex card, which gets you 5x points on Amazon and Lowe’s purchases in April through June of 2023. 

Remember, if you decide to apply for the Chase Freedom Flex or any other card, never apply directly through Google – always use a friend or creator’s referral link.

If you are interested in supporting this show when you apply for your next card, check out geobreezetravel.com/cards and if you’re not sure what card is right for you, I offer free credit card consultations at geobreezetravel.com/consultations !

And we have the links to the Chase Freedom Flex and the free consultation form for you in the show notes as well. And now, on with the show!

Meet Your Host

Julia Menez

During the pandemic, Julia was stuck at home and wanted to talk to more friends about points and miles. So she reached out to some points people on Instagram and the conversation went something like this…

Julia: hey, do you want to hang out on a Zoom video chat and talk about points?
Other people: no…. I don’t even know you.
Julia: what if I record our conversation and release it to thousands of people on the internet?
Other people: Oh! Are you starting a points podcast? I’d love to be featured!

And thus the Geobreeze Travel was born, if only to bamboozle other points people into being friends with Julia.

P.S. She’s always looking for more points friends. Click the “let’s be friends!” button to send a pitch to be featured on the podcast.
