As I reflect over 2013, it has been a quite interesting year that I am very thankful for. I appreciate the help and support from my family and friends who listen endlessly about credit card points and what my plans are.
Without the points, I don’t think I would have made my trip to Asia this year and meet the really great people I encountered. I hope to continue to stay in touch and get to know them.
For this year, my best points earning opportunity is utilizing my employee discount for purchases for my friends. I would have to say that as I approach the $30,000 mark for the American Express Starwood card, about 5 to 10% of the spend was through employee purchases.
Do you have a trip report for your trip to Asia this year? I would love to read it.
Thanks for your interest, but at this time I do not have any plans for writing one. Experiences like the flights, I feel Ben from One Mile At A Time does a fantastic job.
