Making Travel Possible,
With Points & Miles

Hi, I'm Chrissy!

If there's one thing that's always been true about me, it's this: I've always loved to travel.

I was lucky enough to catch the travel bug at an early age. My mom was a flight attendant for more than 50 years, so growing up I had the incredible opportunity to travel all over the world. Those experiences sparked a lifelong passion for exploring new places, experiencing different cultures, and making unforgettable memories.

As an adult, I was fortunate to marry someone who shares that same passion for travel. It's one of the things that brought us together. But like many young families, reality set in once we had children.

Traveling as a family of five is expensive.

International vacations became difficult to justify, and even domestic trips required careful budgeting. We still dreamed about seeing the world together, but it often felt out of reach.

Then everything changed. I discovered the world of travel hacking.

I learned that by strategically earning and redeeming points—using money we were already spending—we could dramatically reduce the cost of travel. Suddenly, destinations that once felt impossible became reality.

Since then, our family has traveled to Greece, Belgium, France, Costa Rica, Mexico, and St. Kitts, along with countless spring break adventures and weekend getaways throughout the United States. Many of those trips were made possible with free or deeply discounted flights and hotel stays earned through points.

The best part? We didn't become wealthy. We simply learned how to use the system.

For years, friends and family have asked me how we travel so much and have encouraged me to "share the wealth." After helping countless people book their own award trips, I finally decided to create Simply Points Travel so I could teach anyone who wants to travel more while spending less.

My goal is simple:

To make points and miles easy to understand—even if you're starting from scratch.

No confusing jargon. No complicated spreadsheets.

Just practical, step-by-step strategies that help everyday people earn more points, redeem them smarter, and create incredible travel memories with the people they love.

I'm so glad you're here, and I can't wait to help you plan your next adventure.
