Jerod started down the rabbit hole of points and miles when he and his wife, both adventurers at heart, wanted to make travel affordable even after starting to grow their family with children. Four kids later they still haven’t found out how deep it goes.

 

Jerod both enjoys crossing the Atlantic in business class, but also has no problem hopping a cheap Spirit flight to Orlando or Chicago (after a stop at a lounge of course).

 

He loves helping people figure out how to optimize their travel and is part of the team of moderators for the Award Travel 101 Facebook Group. Find him posting there and in the comments, or on Instagram at @letsgotraveldad.
