In today’s Wondering Wednesday mini episode of the Wonderland on Points podcast, we’re answering a common question: When is the right time to actually use the travel portal?

The conventional wisdom in the points and miles world is that you typically get the best value when you transfer your points and book travel outside of the portal—and that’s absolutely true. But there are definitely times when using the travel portal is your best bet. In this episode, we break down those situations and share real-life examples of when we’ve booked travel through the portal and why it worked out in our favor.

If you’ve ever been unsure about when to use the travel portal, this episode will clear it up for you and help you make smarter decisions with your points!

In this episode of the Wonderland on Points podcast, we’re joined by the incredible Allison, a travel expert we met at the TravelMore Conference. Last year alone, her business has redeemed over 100 MILLION points for their clients. Allison has set an ambitious, yet inspiring goal for herself: over the course of 12 months, she aims to experience 12 different lie-flat business class products (all booked with points!), visit 12 new countries, and stay in 12 new hotels. And she's doing it all without breaking the bank—just by leveraging her knowledge of points and miles!

Allison shares her journey so far, detailing the highs and lows of this year-long challenge. From earning points to hunting for award flights, she also drops valuable tips on how to make the most of your points and choose the best flights based on the aircraft you'll be flying. Whether you're a points newbie or a seasoned traveler, Allison's insights are bound to inspire and help you level up your own travel game.

We were blown away by Allison's knowledge and passion for travel, and we can’t wait for you to hear this conversation!
