Serena Stone from @passionforpoints is a multi-tasking mother, wife, asset management professional, pet-sitting business owner, obsessive travel planner, and points and miles enthusiast. Her proudest points and miles moment was guiding her family of six through Japan and pretending to be rich while flying in business class and staying in luxury hotels.
In this episode, we discuss how Serena booked business class flights to Japan for a family of 6 in business class, which is a bucket list item for so many travelers, and a pretty difficult feat to accomplish! Not only did she manage to score some amazing flight redemptions, but she was able to book some amazing hotels on points as well!
If you are interested in traveling to Japan, there are a few flight redemption options including booking ANA flights via Virgin Atlantic, United Polaris, Star Alliance flights like Singapore Airlines via Air Canada, Japan Airlines via American Airlines, and there are tons of great Hyatt properties as well! Do you know what all of these brands have in common? They are all transfer partners of Bilt! If you are interested in a no annual fee card that lets you earn points on rent as well as up to 6x on dining, 4x on travel, and 2x everywhere else, check out the Bilt card.
Remember, if you decide to apply for the Bilt card or any other card, never apply directly through Google – always use a friend or creator’s referral link.
