Top Points Bloggers



Sometimes you just don't have enough time to dig into the points game, search for good award redemptions, or stay up to date on the latest airline news. Enter travel bloggers -- these dedicated folks post daily to help make sorting this stuff out easier for you and me. We recommend setting up a feedly account to read all of these blogs in one place.

A note about the blogs: the credit card offers listed on a given site may not be the best ones available at the time. Also, these bloggers generally make their money from advertising and referral fees, so if you wish to support a particular blogger and plan on signing up for a new credit card, using a link from their blog to the application will make sure they're paid nicely for their hard work.
