Rewarding Traveler is a place to learn about traveling better with the use of travel rewards.
Travel rewards are a great way to travel more and travel better. The travel rewards we cover most on this website are Chase Ultimate Rewards, Amex Membership Rewards, and Capital One Venture Rewards.
These credit card points can allow you to travel for free, or darn near close to it. I can prove that.

Welcome to Rewarding Traveler, where we turn your travel dreams into real life itineraries, by using points and miles instead of money. I’ve learned how to travel as much as I want, while spending basically nothing. My goal is to pass on to you, how it’s done. Rewarding Traveler began its journey as TravelFreedom.net, but changed names in 2023.
Here’s a bit about myself. I’m a traveler, an entrepreneur at heart, an athlete, a creator, a problem solver, and I love a good deal. I started Rewarding Traveler because I want to teach you everything I’ve learned about travel over the past decade. I will teach you that it’s possible to travel whenever and wherever you want, for the rest of your life, without spending much money at all.
I’m from Oregon and have lived within the state for the entirety of my life. I graduated from the University of Oregon and am a die hard Duck fan. I love watching both football and basketball and have been a season ticket holder for basketball since 2013.
I’ve loved travel since I was a child when my grandparents lived in Hawaii. My family would visit Maui every few years and I fell in love with traveling and adventure. Like most people, I found taking vacations to be very expensive and difficult to do often. That all changed when I discovered traveling with points and miles in 2012. It has literally changed my life. I can travel wherever in the world I want without ever having to spend much, if any, money for flights and accommodations.
