I’ve recently read a news article on news.com.au which was explaining that flights using frequent flyer points earned from credit cards is not worth the effort as you would need to spend too much to just fly an economy flight for example from Sydney to Melbourne.

If you read every negative article in regards to frequent flyer points not be worth it and too hard to obtain then they will probably convince you that it is true. I beg to differ as it just requires you to overlook that and explore the numerous options of accelerating your points.

In this day and age – there is no real guide for frequent flying compared to when you want to invest in property. It all comes from reading forums and searching on Google what you can actually do with your points.

As in life – nothing comes for free – but with the right strategy and the right direction – then you could be accelerating your points significantly higher than what you think you could. If you treat your points like a currency and understand and maximize the number of points each time you shop – just by thinking ahead – you could be seeing yourself in a first class seat.

This comes from a change in mindset. By changing the way you spend money – but not spending any more than you need to – then you are exercising your mind to think outside the box each time. The rewards are great and when you start flying in premium cabins and your friends are still slugging it in economy – they’ll wish they were in your position.

Flights using frequent flyer points does not have to be hard. In fact it is very exciting especially if you have never flown first or business class before. Also knowing that you can fly on this for practically the price of taxes because you have accumulated your points from smart spending will give you extra motivation to continually look for deals  and reach for that first class flight to New York one day!
