In episode 109 of World Travel Made Easy With Itinerary Boss, Ross breaks down one of the biggest misconceptions business owners have about points and miles: credit card fees. Too many entrepreneurs miss out on millions of points because they avoid the 3 percent processing fee vendors often charge. In this episode, Ross shows why those fees are tiny compared to the massive value of transferable travel rewards.


Discover how tools like Melio and Plastiq help you pay contractors, real estate vendors, or even home renovators with a credit card—and why a $5,000 payment could mean a 100,000-point welcome bonus. You’ll learn how to run the numbers, compare cashback versus travel rewards, and see real examples of clients who’ve unlocked $46,000+ in free travel just by shifting how they pay expenses.
