Tyler Glatt

Senior News Editor
Distance Traveled in 2026
Visited in 2026

Tyler joined the AwardWallet team in July 2023 as a freelance writer and came on full-time in December 2023. He first got hooked on points and miles back in 2019 while studying at NC State University, when they became the key to pursuing his travel goals on a college budget. Since then, he’s used rewards to unlock all kinds of incredible experiences — from climbing Mount Kilimanjaro to discovering favorite new destinations in Japan, Vietnam, and beyond — and occasionally flying in the pointy end of the plane when the price (in points) is right.

When he’s not working or spending time with family, you’ll likely find Tyler surfing, planning his next trip, working toward a master’s degree at UNC-Wilmington, or plotting his (hopefully soon) ascent of Aconcagua in Mendoza, Argentina.
