Frequently Asked Questions

Welcome to our FAQ landing page! Due to increased demand, we’ve created six individual FAQ pages, each carefully categorized and filled with dozens of links to posts that should answer nearly all of your most pressing questions. Unfortunately, we no longer handle individual travel consulting, so we’ve taken extra steps to ensure these pages provide more than enough information to get you on your way to maximizing your points and traveling more affordably! If you still can’t find an answer here, try asking in the TPG Lounge — so long as your post meets our community guidelines, we’ll post it, and our community should be more than happy to help!
