Matt has been an avid points collector since 1992 (an elementary school student), when his dad signed up for the new (at the time) Air Miles program. Since then, Matt took a keen interest in learning how the miles and points world works. He quickly found out that there is a lot of value in leveraging miles and points to fund his passion for travelling.

Happy Thanksgiving! I am thankful for…

Happy Thanksgiving! Yes, the Canadian one. This has become a yearly tradition (2016, 2015, 2014) where I list what I am thankful about in the rewards industry!
