2027 Trips Booked on Points (So Far!)
Welcome to my 2027 Trips Booked on Points page — the next chapter in my yearly series where I track every trip I book using points, miles, free night certificates, casino offers, and smart stacking.
If you’re new here, this page updates all year long as I book trips. I don’t wait until the end of the year — I share the wins as they happen so you can follow along and recreate them for your own travel.
If you want to see past years, here’s where to go:

Disclosure: I’m not a credit card affiliate. I only share personal referral links for cards I personally hold and use. These are the same cards I use to book my own trips — no sponsored links, just real strategies that work for me.
I don’t cherry‑pick my data — I only share the real flights we book based on where we actually want to go. Every redemption on this page reflects our real travel plans, not hypothetical examples.
⭐ How This Page Works
Every trip includes:
Where we’re going
How many points/miles I used
Which programs I transfer from
Cash cost vs. what I actually paid
Why I chose that redemption
A link to the full “How I booked it” breakdown once it’s published
This is real travel, real numbers, and real strategies — no unicorn redemptions, no unrealistic spending.

Below are placeholders you can fill in as you book. I’ve written them in your voice so you can simply update the numbers and details.
Trip #1: [Destination Placeholder] — Booked on Points!
✈️ Trip #1: Iceland — Booked on Points!
Dates: May 2027 (Finn’s graduation trip!) Who’s going: Our whole crew Cash price: TBD (but would’ve been much higher than what we paid)
What I paid: About $500 total for all four round‑trip flights Points used:
47K Rove Miles (my first time redeeming — instant transfer!)
Amex Membership Rewards (topped off during a transfer bonus)
Flying Blue miles for the actual award tickets
Total miles used: 180,000 miles
Programs used:
Flying Blue
Rove Miles
Amex Membership Rewards
Point.me to find the award space
Rakuten Membership Rewards (for extra MR earning)
Why this was a great redemption: This one just clicked. I started gathering my usual resources, checked Point.me, saw great Flying Blue space, tested a Rove transfer (instant!), and everything lined up. It’s one of those redemptions that reminds me why I love points travel — real trips, real savings, no cherry‑picking.
