453: How to Travel for FREE with Your Family (Really!) // Amber Paul
With the holidays coming up, many moms wish they could visit family or plan a getaway—but the price of flights makes it feel impossible. That’s why I’m re-airing this popular episode with Amber Paul from Amber on Points, who teaches families how to travel for free (or almost free) using credit card points.
A year after recording this, I’ve now been practicing what Amber teaches—and it’s truly changed what’s possible for our family. We earned about $12,000 in free travel this year, and my credit score has continued to go up. I know it sounds too good to be true, (that’s exactly what I thought at first!), but it’s real—and it’s absolutely worth learning.
In this encore episode, you’ll learn:
✈️ Why opening multiple credit cards (responsibly!) can actually improve your credit score
✈️ How to use welcome offers strategically to earn far more points from the spending you already do
✈️ Why you might qualify for a business card even if you’re just side-gigging
A quick note: conversations about money and credit can bring up a lot of feelings. Wherever you are in your financial journey, this episode is meant to spark possibility—not pressure.
