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:
👉 How I Book My Trip on Points
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.

What I paid:
Flights: booked on points
Cruise: casino offer + stacked savings
Hotel: points + free night cert
Why this was a great redemption: Perfect winter escape, low‑cost flights from Nashville, and you stacked multiple offers to bring the total cost way down.

What I paid:
Flights: booked on points
Epic Day Passes: Southern family strategy
Hyatt: refundable suite

47K Rove Miles
Amex Membership Rewards (topped off during a transfer bonus)
Flying Blue miles
Programs used: Flying Blue • Rove Miles • Amex MR • Point.me • Rakuten MR

👉 How I Booked 4 Round‑Trip Flights to Iceland for $500 Using Points
Trip #4: Rome Cruise — Booked on Points! (June 2027)
What I paid:
Flights: booked on points
Cruise: stacked offers + strategic timing
Hotels: points + free night certs
Why this was a great redemption: You used your Mediterranean strategy, booked flights on points, and leveraged cruise offers to keep costs low.
Trip #5: England & Ireland Cruise — Booked on Points! (April 2027) What I paid:
Cruise: casino offer
Flights: Alaska miles to London + British Airways direct flight home
Hotels: points + free night certs
Why this was a great redemption: This trip is the perfect example of how I combine multiple strategies to build a full international itinerary without paying full price. I used a casino offer to reduce the cruise cost, booked our outbound flights to London using Alaska miles, and scored a direct British Airways flight home — which is always a win for a long-haul return. This is real-world stacking at its best.
