Hi, I’m Mike – dad of three, husband, and the guy behind Points With Mike. We’re a family of five that loves to travel, but like most people, we’re also mindful of our budget.

I’ve always been naturally frugal, which can seem at odds with a love for travel—something that’s usually expensive. That’s what led me to travel hacking: using points, credit card perks, elite status, and smart deals to make travel more affordable without sacrificing experience.

Professionally, I hold the CFA designation and have written for publications like MoneySense and The Globe and Mail, covering topics such as investing and real estate.

I started this site to share what I’ve learned about using points and perks to travel more while spending less. My goal is to help others stretch their dollars further—just like I do with my own family.
