For most of us, traveling on points and miles isn’t all champagne and showers in first class.


Sure, those elite perks motivate us to rack up points so we can brag to our friends — and in the 10xTravel Insiders Group — about our luxurious vacation. But sometimes, you just need to get from A to B on short notice or find enough seats for your family of four.


That’s why today’s episode is all about those often overlooked “unsexy redemptions” that most of us make. Tune in to hear the 10xTravel team share their favorite unsexy redemptions, how they came to be, and how they determine when it’s worth it to splurge on a fancy trip vs. when to just appreciate being able to travel for free.


In This Episode:



  • Unsexy redemptions in the Maldives, at famous music festivals, and more

  • Does it ever actually make sense to use the travel portal?

  • How positioning flights affect otherwise flashy redemptions

  • Ignoring “absolutisms” in the points and miles hobby

  • Getting off the “maximum value” hamster wheel
