Meet Jared. Starting as a broke college student, Jared became a road warrior who learned techniques to improve his travel experiences for less. He and his wife wanted to travel more in their personal lives, so like many of us, he dug more into credit cards and reward programs that helped boost his ability to accomplish many of their goals. Eventually, he started his own site, Thrifty Traveler, sharing some of the tips he'd learned. The blog grew quickly, and he left his job to develop the business further, He hasn't looked back, and has grown the business into a 25 member team who scour the web looking for the best cash and award fares for you. We'll cover:

  • His background
  • How he was introduced to travel rewards/loyalty programs
  • Where the space is headed in the next 12 months (Is Award Travel dead?)
  • Highlights from his travels
  • His general travel style (Family/Solo travel)
  • Strengths
  • Favorite airline, hotel, credit card programs
