Hey, I’m Jarrod — a travel rewards writer, hotel advisor, and unapologetic points fanatic.

I first fell down the rabbit hole of points and miles 8 years ago when I realized they could unlock five-star travel for economy prices. Since then, I’ve traveled all over the world and saved hundreds of thousands of dollars in the process. My work has been featured by Upgraded Points, The New York Times, Travel + Leisure, Yahoo! Finance, and more.

I created The Freequent Flyer to share practical advice, honest reviews, and curated strategies for traveling better without spending more. Through personalized, free card consultations, I’ve helped readers earn over 30 million points, unlocking more than $600,000 worth of travel.

Whether you’re just getting started or trying to level up your game, you’re in the right place.

I’m a firm believer that travel is an art form, a love language, and a way of life — and I’m endlessly grateful that my ikigai is rooted in helping others experience the power of travel for themselves.
