Now I teach others how to do the same. Without the spreadsheets or the "hack" culture.

THE STORY
How a single booking changed everything.
The first time I redeemed a business-class flight on points, I was sure I'd done something wrong.
It was a $1,500 ticket. I'd paid about $120 in taxes for a relatively short flight on Etihad Business Class from Abu Dhabi To Cairo. I kept refreshing the confirmation page, waiting for it to tell me it had been a mistake.
It wasn't a mistake. It was the moment I realized that the "rules" of travel — the ones that said flying business costs five figures, that luxury hotels are for executives, that "I can't afford it" is the end of the conversation — were optional. They applied to people who paid cash. Points play a different game.
That was five years ago. Since then, my wife and I have flown Etihad & Emirates Business Class, stayed at luxurious properties over the world and taken our son on multiple Europe trips all of which would have cost us well over our life savings — all on points.
I'm not a deal-hunter. I'm not a "travel hacker." I just learned how the system actually works, and I refuse to pay full price for something I can get for ten cents on the dollar.
I started Miles Beyond Borders because every time I told someone how I traveled, they'd ask how to do it themselves — and I was tired of sending the same 40-minute explainer. Now I create content and break it down, for people who want the skill, not the shortcut.
WHAT I BELIEVE
Three rules I won't break.

I only recommend what makes sense — not just what pays.
I don’t teach guesswork.
No hacks. Just the system.
I don’t need to personally hold a card for it to be worth recommending. But if it’s here, it has a clear strategy behind it — and a reason it could work for you.
Most of what I share comes from real bookings and real-world experience. And when it doesn’t, it’s backed by solid data and patterns I trust — not theory for the sake of content.
Points isn't a trick to beat the banks. It's a skill you build. I'll teach you the skill, not a shortcut that'll stop working in six months.
