"I didn't always use points for everything, but I made sure to save them for the big-ticket items like flights," says Dunlap. "My partner and I flew from Seattle to Frankfurt in business class, thanks to Alaska Airlines points I'd accumulated being a frequent and loyal flier and transferred to Condor. If I had booked without the points, the flight would have cost around $4,000 per person. Her biggest travel tip? Stay loyal to an airline to build up those frequent flier miles - it really pays off."
"A rental car is essential when traveling to certain parts of Italy, especially the Amalfi Coast and the Tuscan countryside. Dunlap booked a rental car for a week (picking up in Naples and dropping off in Florence) for 62,000 points, saving about $1,100. As for accommodations, summer in Italy means sky-high rates. If you have the points to cash in, it's a great way to experience incredible hotels such as Terme di Saturnia, which Dunlap loved, without draining your bank account."
