  • This Marriott Card Comes With 5 Free Nights (Here’s How to Use Them Right)
    Jan 13 2026

    What if one credit card could cover five nights of hotel stays?

    In today’s episode, I’m breaking down the elevated offer on the Marriott Bonvoy Boundless card, which is currently offering 5 free night certificates when you spend $3,000 in the first 3 months.

    And no—this isn’t one of those offers you want to grab without a plan.

    In this episode, I cover:

    • What the 5 free night certificates actually are

    • How much they’re worth (and how people accidentally waste them)

    • Where you can use them for luxury stays

    • Real examples of trips you could book with this offer

    • The common mistakes I see people make with Marriott certificates

    • How to stack and stretch these nights for maximum value

    I’ll also walk you through how to think strategically about these certificates—because five free nights can mean: • A luxury beach resort • A European city stay • A family-friendly vacation with zero hotel costs • Or multiple shorter trips if you plan it right

    And here’s the key part most people miss: Getting the certificates is the easy part. Using them well is where people get stuck.

    That’s why I also share how women inside the Lounge get hands-on help using offers like this—so they don’t let certificates expire, book low-value stays, or feel overwhelmed trying to figure it out alone.

    Inside the Lounge, members can:

    • Ask questions anytime

    • Get help deciding where to use their free nights

    • See how others are booking real trips with points

    • Get support planning and booking their stays

    • Learn how to stack offers like this with other cards and points

    Dec 30 2025

    Have you ever visited a place that immediately makes you slow down, breathe deeper, and feel completely present? That’s exactly what Sedona, Arizona did for us—especially while staying at the stunning Enchantment Resort.

    In this Destination Day episode, I’m taking you inside one of the most magical red-rock destinations in the U.S. and sharing what it’s really like to stay at Enchantment, a luxury resort tucked into Boynton Canyon. From jaw-dropping views to peaceful desert energy, this trip was equal parts rest, adventure, and luxury—and yes, we used points to make it happen.

    Whether you’re planning a romantic getaway, a wellness-focused escape, or a family trip that still feels elevated, this episode will help you decide if Sedona (and Enchantment) belongs on your travel bucket list.

    In this episode, you’ll hear:

    • What makes Enchantment Resort so special (location, vibes, and amenities)
    • Who this resort is best for: couples, families, or solo travelers
    • What we did in Sedona beyond the resort (easy adventures + relaxation)

    This episode is perfect if you love:

    • Luxury resorts with nature views
    • Unique U.S. destinations that feel otherworldly
    • Wellness, hiking, and slow travel

  • How Many Points Do You Actually Need for Luxury Hotels?
    Dec 23 2025

    Luxury hotels look incredible online… but when it comes to points, most people are left wondering: How many points do I really need to stay there?

    In this episode, I’m breaking down the real numbers behind luxury hotel stays on points — without the overwhelm. We’re talking actual ranges, real examples, and the biggest mistakes I see people make when trying to book elevated hotels with their points.

    If you’ve ever thought:

    • “I probably don’t have enough points”
    • “Luxury hotels must take millions of points”
    • “I’ll just save my points for flights instead”

    This episode will completely change how you think about hotel redemptions.

    In this episode, you’ll learn:

    • What “luxury” actually means in the world of points (and what it doesn’t)
    • Why cash price and point price rarely tell the same story
    • How many points luxury hotels typically cost per night
    • Real Hyatt luxury hotel examples and why Hyatt is a favorite for points users
    • Real Marriott luxury hotel examples — and when they make sense
    • How to book luxury hotels without hotel-specific points

    You don’t need a million points — but you do need a plan. In this episode, I walk through realistic point ranges for weekend getaways, resort stays, and longer city trips so you can stop guessing and start planning intentionally.

    Why strategy matters more than your point balance

    Luxury travel doesn’t come from randomly earning points — it comes from knowing which points to earn, when to earn them, and how to use them. I’ll show you how flexible points, hotel programs, and timing all work together to unlock high-end stays for far fewer points than most people expect.

    Want help planning your luxury hotel stay?

    If you’re ready to stop Googling and want personalized guidance, here are a few ways I can help:

    • Elevated Escape – Personalized help choosing the right cards and points strategy
    • Best Credit Card Offers- Grab the cards to get you the points needed for a luxury stay
    • Travel Points Academy – Learn my full step-by-step system for earning and using points

    If this episode helped you, be sure to save it, share it with a friend, and leave a review — it helps more women and families learn how to travel luxuriously without blowing their budget.
