🇨🇳 繁體中文版： ｜ English translation of our original Chinese review.
Hey everyone, it’s Rational Travel here, a travel blogger who doesn’t do sponsored content and only tells the truth . Over the past five years, I’ve cracked the code on these techniques, visited over a dozen countries, and saved enough money to fund several more trips.
Ever scrolled through Facebook groups and seen people flexing their award flights, swamped with comments like “wow so cool” and “teach me please,” but you don’t even know where to start? Thinking to yourself: “Dammit, I want to be a points pro too!”
Don’t panic. Today, Rational Travel is laying out my entire arsenal for you. These 7 genius tools are the crystallized wisdom from my journey from complete miles newbie to now. After reading this, I guarantee you’ll be able to book your first award ticket from scratch.
As always, before diving in, let me give you a quick intro about who I am, since not everyone knows the Rational Travel story.
