Marlen
I discovered the power of points and miles at 22, and it completely changed the trajectory of my life. Since then, I've lived in Serbia, Australia, and Japan, visited over 20 countries. With 4+ years in the points and miles space, I specialize in turning everyday spending into extraordinary experiences. From business class flights and luxury hotel redemptions to building a credit card ecosystem that actually works for your lifestyle, I focus on the full picture. That means helping you open the right cards, in the right order, so your benefits complement each other and your points work harder for you. I love working with beginners who don't know where to start, busy professionals who don't have time to figure it out, and families who want to make travel a real part of their lives. My mission is simple: to help you unlock trips you never thought were possible. If points and miles changed my life at 22, imagine what they can do for yours.

Client Success Stories and Testimonials
✈️ Tokyo to Seattle. Business Class. $285. A business class seat on this route retails for $5,000. With the right points strategy, I've booked it and helped clients book it for just $285 and 34,000 points. Those points? Earned through everyday spending on the right credit cards. That's the power of a well built ecosystem: your morning coffee and grocery runs turn into lie flat seats across the Pacific. ✈️ Qatar Qsuites. $1,000. Roundtrip. Qatar Airways Qsuites are widely considered the best business class seat in the sky. Retail price for this client's roundtrip: over $10,000. What they paid: $1,000. For a seat that feels more like a private suite than an airplane cabin. This is exactly what happens when your points are in the right place at the right time. ✈️ Roundtrip Business Class for Two. $1,600. We started working together before their wedding building a strategy around their upcoming expenses. By honeymoon time, those purchases had turned into lie-flat seats worth $27,000. They paid $1,600.
