How to Travel Free with Points
Showing you the best places to wander and how to choose the best travel rewards credit cards that turn everyday spending into free flights, hotel stays, and upgrades.

Hey, I’m Marina!
Your Canadian travel points enthusiast with a love for elevated and quiet stays who also has a serious obsession with cruising. I share real-world tips, honest and experience-based travel reviews, strategies, and lessons from my own travels to help you unlock luxury experiences and free travel stays.
I’ll be straight with you, I don’t travel completely free. But with the right strategy, I’ve dramatically cut what I spend on every trip. Through my loyalty free night awards, and racking enough points, I was to even able to get a free 1 week all inclusive for my family of 4 in Montego Bay, Jamaica, I’ve scored tons of stays that I’ve never had to pay for.
If you are new to collecting points through credit cards, keep reading and be sure to download my free guide. I also share travel logs, cruise tips, best excursions and best hotels places to stay at.
And why Gen X? Well, if you’re like me, then you’ve survived the questionable motels, mystery stains, red-eyes, and Greyhound adventures. We have paid those well with our youth. I think it’s safe to say that I now crave a bit more luxury, comfier sheets, and a firm commitment to never rough it!
