At TPG, I spend a lot of time writing about airline and hotel loyalty programs. Yet I never expected to earn top-tier status through my lip gloss and travel toiletries purchases.
Last year, I meticulously tracked every Premier Qualifying Point as I worked toward United Premier Silver status. I even booked a last-minute mileage run to make sure I qualified.
Earning Sephora Rouge — Sephora's highest tier in its Beauty Insider loyalty program — on the other hand, was a happy accident.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on The Points Guy Articles.
