This kid has absolutely nailed the use of his credit cards so, if you haven’t linked up to your bank’s reward system, maybe this is the push you need.

Scott Keyes, a 28-year old writer, realised he could plan the vacation of a lifetime with all of his points and he has done just that. He currently lives in Mexico and is moving back to the US, but not without a whirlwind two-month tour. He is going to travel about 20 000miles on 21 flights, stopping in 13 countries. Well played.

Scott will be visiting Mexico, Nicaragua, Trinidad, St. Lucia, Grenada, Germany, Czech Republic, Ukraine, Bulgaria, Greece, Macedonia, Lithuania, and Finland.

To add to your growing envy, he is travelling first class and has barely had to pay in anything.

He has managed to accumulate 136 500 frequent flyer miles, so I think it’s fair to say that he probably travels a lot anyway…

Keyes is such a pro at travelling on the extremely cheap that he even wrote two eBooks detailing his strategies: How to Fly for Free and How to Find Free Flights.

Ah, well, there we go. If anyone is going to know how to beat the system it would be the guy who wrote two books about it.
