welcome to angie’s travel tips
Hi! I’m Angie Carter and I am: a mom of 4 boys, travel obsessed, a points and miles specialist, a travel agent, an Airbnb owner, and so many other hats I won’t list them all, but suffice it to say I like to stay busy! Growing up, I was the daughter of a pilot so I flew for free and thought those flight benefits would last forever. Spoiler: they didn’t. So in my 20’s I spent way too much money on travel because I had no idea how points and miles worked! Then, a few years ago my sister casually booked a nearly free trip to France for her family of 6 while I was still recovering from spending over $9,000 on a cruise (worth it, but wow). That was my wake-up call. Fine, I’ll listen I told her.
Well. I listened. And learned. And read. And researched. And read some more.
Fast forward: After I dove headfirst into the wild world of points and miles, I now earn over a million points a year-and last year? I booked well over $60,000 worth of nearly free travel. My mission is to help you and your family unlock the magic of reward travel and do it too! I aim to help you reduce stress, and see the world for less. Welcome to the rabbit hole — it’s way more fun (and cheaper) on this side!
