Tell me where you want to go and what points you have. I search every program and transfer partner, then hand you 2–3 best options — flights, hotels, resorts, cruises, whatever the trip calls for — and walk you through booking them yourself, step by step.
Credit card points cash out at roughly half a cent to a cent and a half against a cruise fare — a fraction of what the same points are worth on an award flight. So I became a travel advisor. Now I book the cruise directly, often with onboard credit or dining attached, at no cost to you, and your points stay where they belong: on the flights.
How cruise booking worksNo hours lost on Google Flights. No award charts to decode. You fill out one short form — I do the hunting.
Fill out the quick trip form — where you want to go, your dates, who's traveling, and the points you have. Takes about 5 minutes, and there's no payment to submit.
I search every relevant program and transfer partner and deliver 2–3 curated options — ranked by value, with the points needed for each. Just $297 flat.
Pick your favorite and I walk you through every step — where to transfer points, what to click, and how to lock it in. You stay in control of your accounts the whole way, and your family flies somewhere new for pennies on the dollar.

A few stories from people who now travel the same way I do.
"I had a pile of points and no idea how to use them. Justin sent back three options within a few days and walked me through booking lie-flat seats to Hawaii for our family of five. Best $297 I've ever spent."
"I'd have spent hours guessing on award sites and still booked the wrong thing. Justin found a sweet spot I didn't know existed and walked me through every click. Completely worth it."
"Justin's weekly email is the only one I actually open. Last month's transfer bonus tip saved me 40,000 points on a Hyatt redemption."
Exactly what to do this week and why, in language a busy person can act on in 5 minutes.
A sweet-spot flight or hotel redemption that's bookable right now, before it's gone.
What I (or a reader) booked, the points used, and the cash price we skipped.
No theory. Just the stuff I actually use to take my family somewhere new.

Award Trip Booking is a flat $297. Submitting a request is free. If I confirm I can help, you pay a $100 non-refundable deposit to start the research, and the remaining $197 is due only when I deliver your 2 to 3 curated options. Cruise booking through me is free to you.
You get your options by email within 3 to 5 business days of the deposit. I review your request within 24 to 48 hours first, to make sure I can find strong options for your trip.
I find the best options and walk you through booking your favorite step by step: where to transfer points and what to click. For most award bookings you log into your own account to complete the reservation, so you stay in control of your points. If you hit a snag, I help by email.
Award space is limited, especially in premium cabins on popular routes. If I can't find options that are good value for your trip, I tell you and we look at alternatives such as different dates, routes, or programs. The $100 deposit covers the research time regardless of outcome, which is why I qualify requests before asking for it.
No, but the trip has to fit your balance. Each option I send shows exactly how many points it needs. If you're short, I can suggest transfer partners or ways to top up, and a $500 Card Strategy Session is the right starting point if you need a plan to build more points.
The $500 session includes a pre-call review of your actual spending, a 60-minute call, a written action plan within 48 hours, and a 30-day email check-in. If you don't feel the session was worth it, I'll refund you.
Yes. Some card links are my personal referral links, and I may earn points if you're approved, at no cost to you. When I book cruises as an independent travel advisor through Fora Travel, the cruise line pays me a commission out of the fare. Each card button says whether it's a referral or direct link. See the full disclosure in the terms.
One short form. Options in a few days. One vacation you didn't have to pay for.
