Travel for Free, or Almost! (Dollars and Sense series)

What's the number one thing most people want to do when they retire? Travel more! This talk examines strategies for building and maximizing airline miles, credit card points, and hotel loyalty programs so that you can travel more at lower cost. I've done it with a cruise, a weekend jaunt, and upcoming trips to Key West and Spain, all within two years (with no company paid business travel). While retirees will benefit from this program, many younger people will be interested in the topic as well.
