About Points to Passports

Hi! I’m Lauren, a mom of 3 that loves to take my family on vacations all over the world using credit card points and miles to make our trips free or almost free.

Like most people, we utilized one credit card at a time for a long time and we would rack up points on that card, but it would take a while to actually see those redemptions come to life. I got into travel-hacking back in 2021 when we decided to begin putting more of our business expenses onto a credit card to get cash back. It was great to offset some of our small trips or even Airbnb stays by simply reimbursing ourselves with points. What I’ve come to realize over the last few years is that we can make our points go even further than I ever thought possible. This can mean more bucket list trips, simple family vacations, more time exploring. I definitely have an adventurous spirit and have always loved traveling. In 2023, we wanted to travel more with our kids so we got our kids passports and headed to El Salvador for their first international trip to discover my husband’s heritage. Definitely an experience I will never forget. I now love introducing my kids to new cultures and watching them learn about the world around them. Over the last 4 years, we’ve learned many ways to utilize those credit card points and miles to maximize our trips and minimize our expenses. I wish I had learned how to maximize our points sooner, but better late than never, right?! We now have ambitious goals each year to see new countries and pockets of the world. And we couldn’t do any of that without leveraging points and miles from credit cards.

My Mission

I love talking about travel, destinations, all of it. Talk travel to me. And I love taking my family on adventures that will shape their future. And I want to help you do that too!
