Our Consultants
While we cannot guarantee who will be advising you on your consult here is a bit about the folks behind this service.
Erin Kilpatrick
Erin was inspired to dive into points and miles at an early age when her parents redeemed Alaska Airline miles for her first overseas trip on British Airways to Barcelona at age 16. Since she got her first credit card, a United Airlines one geared towards college students, she has been immersed in the points and miles world trying to maximize earnings and find the best redemptions for her travel goals.
She recently quit her corporate America job to become a freelancing digital nomad, so is using her award travel skills every day of her life. She has figured out how to pay for all long-haul flights in business class and about 40% of her nomad travels lodging with points and miles. When she does pay for short flights, trains, or Airbnbs with a cash rate, she is always maximizing the earnings. Before becoming a nomad, she was able to use points and miles for several bucket list trips such as Antarctica, a safari in the Serengeti, and visiting the Galápagos Islands.
Award travel have given her so much and helped her achieve a new way of life and feels strongly it can help change others’ travel for the better. She can take her mentoring and coaching skills acquired in the corporate world and apply them to coaching people who have points and miles questions. She loves to help people find the best path forward for their individual situation, and not just what the masses are doing, and maximize their opportunities to see the world by using points and miles.
Angie Sparks
Angie, a married mother of two and a seasoned travel planner. Her goal is always to try and find the best deal for her family and make their travel budget go as far as possible. She has used points for free flights and hotels forever-but not always the best redemption! She found award travel in 2015 when her family went on a Mediterranean cruise and discovered that all of the points she had been saving from her Capital One credit card barely made a dent in the expenses for the trip.
Angie is passionate about teaching others how to use the benefits offered by their credit cards and maximizing their points for the best travel experience. She can teach you how to use your all of your perks and use your points and miles to fly business class internationally and stay at incredible hotels-for minimal cash out of pocket.
Mike Zaccheo
Thanks to his dad's frequent flyer miles from regular business travel, Mike experienced award travel from an early age, sparking his avgeek interests. Annual vacations and constant curiosity about each plane fueled his passion, culminating at age 15 in convincing his parents to take him a trip to Seattle to tour Boeing's Everett factory.
Mike’s passion for travel has only expanded since then and along with an affinity for lounges and status he enjoys to leverage points and miles for unique experiences such as traveling to London to see a baseball game, taking a trip to Australia to skip his 40th birthday and visiting 6 countries over the span of 3 days.
Experienced in both family and solo travel, Mike leverages his engineering background to approaches everything with an analytical mindset and above all he enjoys helping others achieve their travel goals.
