I can't guarantee the training will stay free, but everyone who signs up now keeps lifetime access.
How I make money: the training doesn't cost you anything. The only way I earn from it is through affiliate links, and I'm grateful for your support.
Before you sign up
Is it really free?
Yes. No credit card is needed to sign up, and there's no upsell hidden inside the course. The only way I earn from it is affiliate links.
Do I need points already?
No. The training starts from the very beginning, before your first card.
Do I have to spend more than I do now?
No. The whole idea is putting spending you already do on the right cards, and paying them off in full every month so interest never eats the value.
How long does it take?
It's 50 lessons and completely self-paced. Go through it in a weekend, or come back whenever you're planning a trip.
What happens after I sign up?
You'll get an email with your access link. Click it, set a password, and you're in. You'll also get my free email with new transfer bonuses and deals worth booking; unsubscribe anytime.
I'd rather have someone book it for me.
That's what the Award Booking Service is for. Tell me the trip and I'll find and book the seats.
Your next trip could be in business class.
