I like to say I was born into the points and miles hobby.
My dad, a Million Miler on both United Airlines and American Airlines, signed me up for my frequent flier accounts when I was 2 years old, introduced me to lie-flat business class when I was growing up and had a curated list of credit card applications waiting for me as soon as I joined the workforce.
Considering his passion for points and miles and his dedication to advanced planning, it was no surprise that he started preparing a transition plan for his travel rewards years before there was any indication he needed to.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on The Points Guy Articles.
