FAQ
What is NO POINT LEFT BEHIND?
NO POINT LEFT BEHIND is a travel blog that helps families and beginners travel smarter using points, miles, cruise hacks, hotel strategies, and practical trip guides. Everything is written in plain English with real‑life examples from our own travels.
How do I start with points and miles?
Start with the basics: earn points through the right credit cards, redeem them for flights and hotels, and learn the simple strategies that stretch your travel budget. My Points & Miles 101 guide walks you through everything step‑by‑step.
What credit cards do you recommend for beginners?
Most beginners start with a flexible points card like the Chase Sapphire Preferred®. It’s easy to use, has great travel protections, and earns points that transfer to multiple airlines and hotels. I also share updated card recommendations based on your travel goals.
Do you really travel for free?
Not completely — but we travel for far less by using points, miles, and smart booking strategies. We regularly book flights, hotels, and even cruises using rewards instead of cash.
Do you review hotels and destinations you’ve actually visited?
Yes. Every review is based on real stays and real experiences — especially family‑friendly hotels, cruise lines, and national park trips. If we haven’t done it ourselves, we don’t recommend it.
How do you make money from the blog?
Some links on the site are affiliate links, which means I may earn a small commission if you book or buy through them — at no extra cost to you. This helps keep the blog running and allows me to keep sharing free guides and tips.
