Brunch & Learn Podcast

Cindy Greenstein is a mother of three young adults and a credit-card points expert who loves to travel for free.

During her more than 20 years of marriage, she has used credit card points to travel the world while rarely paying for airline flights and hotel rooms.

Cindy—an attorney and former certified public accountant—founded The Points Mom to share her credit card rewards-program expertise with family friends and small business owners who don’t have the time to learn how to maximize their points.

In this Episode:

• How we all can get started on maximizing credit card and miles points. What are some easy things anyone can start doing now.
• Cindy's favorite credit cards that you use, or what  people should be looking for with credit cards and/or sign up bonuses.
• Some of the myths she sees about points/miles
• What's the best approach to getting the best trip or bang for your buck.
• Most popular Tuesday Travel Tips from her IG.
