Points 101: Sign up to learn the basics of points and miles with 10 beginner-focused emails
If you’re relatively new to the points and miles world, you might feel overwhelmed or confused as you strive to learn more. We 100% understand, and it’s why TPG has created a free, beginner-friendly email series, Points 101, to help you learn the basics and gain the tools you need to make your first points and miles redemption.
Points 101 was written by an experienced team of TPG staffers, including Summer Hull, Andrea Rotondo, Madison Blancaflor and me. We all frequently redeem points and miles for travel and enjoy leveraging our rewards to travel more or in greater comfort without spending more.
However, we also remember what it felt like to get started with points and miles and how difficult it was to gather knowledge and feel confident in our redemptions. So, we’ve written the 10-part Points 101 email series to cover the following topics:
- Different types of points and miles
- How to earn points and miles
- How to redeem points and miles for hotel stays and flights
- When, why and how to use transferable rewards and transfer partners
- Picking the right credit card (and credit card bonus) for you
- How to determine when it’s best to use points or miles versus paying cash
If you sign up for our Points 101 email series, you’ll receive a new topic in your inbox every few days. This series is designed for those newer to earning and redeeming points and miles. By the end of the series, we expect you’ll feel confident enough to make your first points and miles redemption. Even if you’ve redeemed points or miles before, this series may help you improve your knowledge and make even better and more rewarding travel redemptions.
I wish the Points 101 series existed when I was a beginner, but I’m thrilled it’s available now for travelers new to points and miles.
