Getting to Italy on
points and miles

We would love nothing more than to help you travel to Italy for pennies on the dollar … or cents on the euro! Perhaps in a lie-flat, business class seat?

Ryan has spent much of the past decade learning wayyy too much about points and miles. (“Seriously, it’s annoying how much he knows, and an intervention may one day be necessary.” -Erin, probably) But it’s led to a lot of memorable trips that frankly would not be feasible unless our flights and hotels cost next to nothing.

At the urging of several friends and family, we’ve created this page to provide some relatively basic guidance on earning and redeeming points and miles. If you have any questions, or if we can help search for award availability, please reach out to Ryan or Erin! And if you need a referral link for a new card, boy, did you ever come to the right place!
