Living the dream on
card rewards Those who don't know us very well may think we are living the high life, but the truth is that our $ 250 hotel room near the line of totality during the eclipse was booked for 3,000 Starwood Preferred Guest points; our
flight to Wyoming was 100 percent free on a private plane thanks to a crazy JetSmarter promotion for those who could prove they had a million miles; our resort complete with water slides and a lazy river in San Antonio was booked using an annual
credit card award night when the room normally costs $ 300 - plus per night; our amazing room at the Park Hyatt New York was booked using 30,000 Hyatt points per night when the selling price was almost $ 1,000 per night; and most of our other
flights were booked
via a collection of airline miles and
credit card points that were primarily earned by leveraging our everyday
spending for major rewards.
