Welcome to the TPG Travel Rewards Community — and Thank You!
The results are in on my recent survey about travel rewards, and while it's clear that not everyone with travel rewards credit cards is using them to their full potential, I offer you my congratulations: as a regular reader of The Points Guy, you're already learning how to maximize your points and miles to travel the world at a discount (or even for free)!
You recognize the importance of educating yourself about good credit—from knowing how to obtain your credit score to learning how to improve it—and formulating a solid travel rewards strategy by choosing the right credit cards for your particular budget and spending habits.
Maybe you're already considering your credit cards' spending bonus categories or your loyalty programs' online shopping portals each time you make a purchase—and I applaud you all the way. I mean, if you're going to spend money on things you need, anyway, why not earn points and miles while you're at it?
If you're new to the world of points and miles, please check out my comprehensive Beginner's Guide, which will take you step-by-step through opening loyalty program accounts, joining an online mileage manager, choosing the right credit cards for yourself, and turning yourself into nothing less than a travel rewards ninja.
And no matter how long you've been in the game, be sure sign up for our email blast to get the latest deal alerts, industry news, and sign-up bonuses.
Empower yourself even further and download the TPG To Go app (for iPhone and Android), which will help you organize your travel rewards and choose the best credit cards in your wallet to maximize each of your purchases.
Remember that you're not alone—you're part of the TPG travel awards community, and support, answers and shared excitement about your awards successes and travel plans are just a comment away. I also host occasional reader meet-ups throughout the country, which are fun ways to meet your fellow TPG community members face-to-face—and for me and the TPG staff to meet you!
