What’s inside
"I'd booked an all-inclusive resort for five days in Jamaica at a full price of $2,400, yet my total out-of-pocket cost was only $500."
The exact cards Dwight uses and why, including the everyday perks that make them worth carrying responsibly.
This is my own starting point, written as a direct, personal introduction to the same approach behind every result on this site. It is the shorter starting piece. The complete system, all the destinations and step-by-step strategy, lives in the full BILT2Travel Playbook.
Who it’s for
If you are just starting to look into travel rewards and want it explained plainly, straight from someone who uses it himself, this is for you. It is not for anyone looking for quick fixes or risky tactics. Rewards are a tool, used responsibly.
