A family trip to Western Canada with points and miles<\/h2>\n

Caroline T. is a long-time milesopedia reader, who members of the“milesopedia – Credit Cards and Rewards<\/a>” Facebook group will surely recognize!<\/p>\n

This is my account of a June\/July 2018 trip to Western Canada with my husband and our 2 children (ages 7 and 9)<\/strong>! I had a very clear goal in mind from the beginning and everything was booked in late October 2017 (so 8-9 months before). Note that I collected the points on my own<\/strong>, for 1 year, as my husband was reluctant to embark on the credit card \/ bonus subscription adventure. After this trip though… he changed his mind<\/strong>!<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

So Caroline took things in hand in her relationship! It is often like that (after all, Audrey lets me manage everything in our couple<\/a>, and we could see in the milesopedia mini-convention<\/a> that many couples have designated – automatically – a person in charge of the points and miles in the family)!<\/p>\n

But once you’ve discovered the benefits and the substantial gains you’ve made… the other spouse joins in the fun!<\/p>\n
