Show Notes

Richard Kerr is the director of travel rewards at Bilt. He is a veteran Naval officer and founder of the Award Travel 101 Facebook community. He’s one of the foremost experts in points and miles strategy, featured in Forbes, US News, Money Magazine, Kiplinger Personal Finance and presented at #SXSW 2017. Richard has visited over 45 countries, lived in England and Japan, and spends his spare time dissecting loyalty program award charts to maximize the value of points and miles. Richard holds a BBA in International Business and has his wife and two small children in tow for his travels as often as possible.

In this episode, Richard and I discuss his career journey as a points and miles creator, his current role at Bilt, and all the features of the new Bilt program — a program that has no annual fee, lets you earn interest on your points bank, points on rent payments, and more!

Currently, there is a reallllly long waitlist for getting the Bilt card. Thousands upon thousands of people. But I have a promo code for you to skip the line! Use the code “GEOBREEZEXBILT” in all caps at https://www.biltrewards.com/waitlist and you’ll get your Bilt application fast-tracked.

Here’s how to get more than 35% back on your next $30 at GrubHub: Sign up for Fluz using the link in the show notes, and you’ll get 3 vouchers, each worth 35% back. Use each one to purchase a separate $10 gift card on GrubHub through the Fluz app and load all three gift cards into your GrubHub account. Easy! Even better, the gift cards code as dining purchases so you’ll earn extra points if you use a credit card that gives bonus points for dining. Download the Fluz app using the link in the show notes.
