From Miles to Smiles Stylish travel for professionals seeking luxury at affordable prices
Introducing the #From Miles To Smiles 90-Day Challenge
The Travel The Globe 4 Less 90 day challenge kicks off on the 1st June and will teach people how to fly business for less than economy by becoming an expert travel hacker.
Don’t worry this isn’t illegal. It’s the legitimate use of hotel and airline loyalty programs to travel for free, or at least save a fortune off the normal price, otherwise known as travelhacking.
How much can you save?
Take for instance, flights to Montreal in business which would have cost over £6,000 had I paid for them. Instead I paid just £1,048. Or flights to Mumbai in business which cost just £1,205.82 instead of the advertised price of £4,783.18. Whilst these are certainly not free flights, who wouldn’t prefer to fly in business class if it costs less than economy?
A cunning plan indeed
Admittedly travel hacking takes time and effort but this 12-week challenge will provide readers with all the tips and tricks to earn bonus points and be flying business in no time. It’s entirely free and includes access to infographics, checklists and guidance galore to help you become an expert travel hacker. There will also be a series of Twitter chats along the way so you can ask any questions, or share your success.
The challenge is suitable for anyone who travels long haul once a year and has sufficient income to be able to spend £10,000 on credit cards in a year. Don’t worry, you don’t need to be a frequent flyer to earn flyer miles. You don’t need to travel on business (although it helps!), you just simply need to be willing to make a few changes to the way you currently shop.
For our transatlantic friends
An added bonus is that I am running the challenge in conjunction with Jackie of The Globetrotting Teacher. You may remember her from my #TravelHackThursday challenge. She focusses on US travel hacking and in the interests of bringing you as meaningful a challenge as possible, we have partnered up so we really have got both sides of the Atlantic covered. Jackie will be providing US readers with lots of tips with me picking up the UK are detail. We are incredibly excited about kicking off the challenge.

This sounds like a fun challenge. I’m just too busy to think about joining right now, but I hope you will offer it again in the future.

That’s great. I know a great site for people with families who are trying to travel hack which might also be of interest.
Hey Thanks Anne for sharing these awesome piece of information. Have joined the FB page and pinned your post for my reference.
Thanks Ana. That’s great news. Look forward to chatting with you over the coming months
Great, I need this. I joined the FB group, hoping to learn some of the tricks. My problem in the past is that a lot of travel hacking sites seem like a lot of work an I am just to lazy to open up credit cards for points and such.
Bob I think that is a fair comment that it can be a lot of work but we are developing some tools to hopefully help remove some of the hassle from travel hacking. Look forward to getting to know you better. Thanks for joining.
