Brian Kelly, the founder of the travel rewards website the Points Guy, says there’s never been a better time than now for earning points.

Extra nights in cushy hotel suites, free premium air travel and even stays on private islands. Loyalty points and frequent flier miles, when strategically collected, can fund trips well beyond a traveler’s usual expectations and budget.
But it isn’t easy to get these deals. Luckily for us, there’s an entire universe of experts who share their savvy in booking award travel, and at the forefront is Brian Kelly, who founded the travel website The Points Guy in 2010.
For Mr. Kelly, 41, he began with the challenge of the formative years of reserving vacations for his circle of relatives. At age 12, he planned an entire vacation for great caiman for his circle of relatives of six, reserving all flights with miles won through his father. This successful holiday laid the basis of his career as an expert, he said. Transactions still dictate their trip.
In his new book, “How to Win at Travel,” Mr. Kelly stores advice on everything from problems and miles to dealing with flight disruptions and flight anxiety.
He shared part of that recommendation with the times, discussing how the methods to buy groceries with credit cards (it has 29!), Flying in executive class and the global valuable evolutionary.

I love solving the puzzle. Yes, it’s a little difficult, but it’s also the point. If it were that simple for everyone in the world, it wouldn’t exist. For those who need to do some work, I think there’s still a top prize.
