In episode 154 of Points, Cards and Travel, Ross sits down with Leslie Douglas, VP of Sales at Sell Better, sales trainer, podcast host, and self-described "Delta girly and Marriott girly." Leslie shares how she balances life on the road (30-40% travel) as a mom while building a points strategy that's covered nearly free trips, including an $80 all-in trip to New York with her daughter. The conversation dives into business expense strategies, including Leslie's story of putting a $10,000 car down payment on her American Express card for instant elite status, why every reimbursable expense should go on your personal card, and how recurring business costs can be converted into travel rewards.
They also cover tools like Card Pointers Pro and Rakuten for stacking offers, the importance of picking an airline/hotel "home base," and simple money habits like automated high-yield savings accounts for funding future trips. Whether you're a sales rep, business owner, or frequent traveler with kids, this episode is packed with practical, real-world strategies for traveling more without spending more.
