Harrison Pierce

Senior Writer
Harrison joined the AwardWallet team in April 2025. He first discovered a passion for points and miles when he applied for the Delta SkyMiles Gold Card while a student at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. He leveraged his welcome offer for a round-trip flight from North Carolina to Seattle and has been hooked ever since. Harrison graduated from college in 2020, and a year later, he bought a one-way ticket to Italy with his cat, Isabelle.
Since then, he’s visited or lived in more than 30 countries on five continents and is always planning his next trip. As a digital nomad, he’s constantly chasing eternal summer and has managed to avoid winter for several years. When Harrison isn’t travel hacking his way across the globe, he enjoys cooking, learning Spanish, reading, and playing with Isabelle.

Sign-up bonuses are a crucial part of the points and miles puzzle, but they’re not the only way of banking a substantial balance of rewards points. Other methods include signing up for regular promotions offered by credit card providers and loyalty programs, taking advantage of generous referral bonuses, and — on select credit cards — scoring bonus points for adding an authorized user to your account.
