In episode 110 of World Travel Made Easy with Itinerary Boss, I’m joined by DeAndre Coke—financial advisor, CEO of Truist City Wealth Management, and host of the Revolutionizing Your Journey podcast—who shares how he turned $4,100 and 551,000 points into a $56,000 Maldives getaway. From Qatar Q-Suites to Emirates First Class, DeAndre reveals the exact strategies he uses to combine elite status, smart card spend, and flexible travel dates for once-in-a-lifetime experiences.


We also break down how business owners can transform everyday expenses into massive point hauls, the Platinum Pro to Globalist hotel status shortcut, and how to earn American Airlines miles passively with Bask Bank. Whether you’re a first-time points user or chasing aspirational redemptions, DeAndre’s approach blends financial expertise with adventurous travel planning you can start applying right now.
