What Travel Hacking is NOT...

It can be really easy to see, hear, or observe Travel Hacking from a distance and let your imagination run wild with assumptions and objections to it. If you start running down that road, you can easily arrive at a number of wrong conclusions... So I want to quickly walk through what Travel Hacking is not so that you can gain better clarity on what it is and how you can dive in!

What It's Not & What It Is

Travel Hacking doesn't involve time-shares, pyramid schemes, or blackout dates... It's not a shady scam that you'll regret ever being interested in. I'm a natural skeptic & cynic toward ideas that sound too good to be true and I had all of those types of thoughts run through my head when I first encountered Travel Hacking.

Travel Hacking is a strategic process to layer & leverage credit card rewards for thousands of dollars in free flights, hotels, cruises, rental cars, and more each year. If you'd like an expanded explanation of it, you can check out another post I wrote: What is Travel Hacking?

Now that you know what Travel Hacking is not and what it is, let me quickly unpack the implications of what that means for you.

You don’t have to sit through a time-share pitch

We've all experienced receiving or giving into the offers of a "free" vacation that comes from a Time-Share Company. I believe that time is money, so I really don't want to have to invest time in sitting through a pushy presentation just so I can save some money on travel. Plus, some of you might've fallen victim to caving into the pressure of a time-share pitch, which you (and your wallet) might've regretted for years to come. Rather than being annoyed by time-share offers, you can earn truly free travel with no strings attached through Travel Hacking.

You don’t have to buy travel to earn free travel

Many people think that you have to buy plane tickets to earn airline miles, book hotel stays to earn hotel points, or book a cruise to earn a cruise. You can earn miles & points that way, but there's a far easier way to do it. Rather than taking dozens of trips that earn you minimal rewards, you can leverage everyday spending for thousands of Travel Rewards points every week through Travel Hacking.

You don’t have to settle for off-season bookings

As a former budget traveler, I would often be constrained to off-season deals on flights and lodging. Flying to Myrtle Beach in January or walking the New Jersey boardwalk at the ocean after the shops, activities, and dining had all closed for the season really wasn't enjoyable. Then, when my kids became school-age, we were forced to do our family vacations in the Summer. Thankfully, Travel Hacking allows us to book the nicest of places in the middle of prime season. Our next vacation is at a 4 Bedroom/4 Bathroom Oceanfront Beach House in August - It retails for $7,500 and Travel Hacking gave us more than enough points to book it for free!

You don’t have to be a high-spender

When you think about using a credit card to earn travel rewards, you might wonder how much you have to spend to make that possible. Travel Hacking isn’t about spending more money, or spending money that you don’t have. You should never spend any money on a credit card that you can’t pay off that month without interest or late fees. Rather, you're typically just leveraging credit cards on everyday expenses for things like gas, groceries, utilities, cell phone, insurance, dining, entertainment, and more to earn 5-50% return on those expenses. If you spend at least $1,400 per month on everyday expenses, then Travel Hacking is for you! 

You don’t have limited options

Maybe you're afraid of flying or grossed out by hotels. If so, you might assume that Travel Hacking isn't for you. That's not true at all! You can use Travel Hacking for flights and hotels, but that's just the beginning. You can use it for house rentals, cruises, all-inclusive resorts, excursions, rental cars, park tickets, dining experiences, concerts, and cash back... Just to name a few of the many options!

You’re not settling for cheap travel experiences

If you start Travel Hacking, you can stop suffering through cheap, low-quality travel experiences with budget airlines, dirty hotels, and bait-and-switch travel offers. In place of those things, you can get lay-flat business class flights, stay in luxurious places, and enjoy breath-taking international trips. Essentially, you'll travel like the rich, even if you're not rich, and you don't have to become rich to afford these amazing trips!

You’re not entering a pyramid scheme

You might worry that this is some type of pyramid scheme where you have to convince people to sign up under you to get Travel Points. On one side, having friends use your referral link to sign up for a credit card can earn you hundreds of dollars in travel rewards, but that's a bonus, not a necessity. You can get the full benefits of Travel Hacking without ever referring anyone else to sign up for a card.

You’re not signing up for a scam

Let's be really honest for a minute - My claim of helping you "earn thousands of dollars in free travel" likely sounds too good to be true. I completely understand and respect that, so I proactively absorb all the risk and make this a 100% risk-free opportunity for you! Beyond the free guides that I give and the insights that I publish in this weekly newsletter, the best thing I can offer you is my Launch Into Travel Hacking Course. In that course, I'll walk from start to finish with step-by-step training to guide you into earning and redeeming thousands of dollars in free travel every year! I'm so certain that you'll gain immense value from my launch course, that I offer a full money-back guarantee on it! If you don't like, benefit from, or find value in the course, I'll give you a full refund... No questions asked!

You’re not going to be disappointed

Once you experience your first trip thanks to Travel Hacking, you're going to be hooked! You're likely going to ask yourself the same question I did after I learned about this, "How have I been missing out on this for so long!?". You've been missing out on free luxurious travel for far too long... Join my Launch into Travel Hacking Course today and I'll help you change all of that!
