Megan, Traci, and Claire aren’t just our teammates—they’re passionate travelers and moms with their own inspiring journeys in the world of points and miles. In this episode, we dive into how they got started, their favorite travel wins, and what keeps them motivated to help families travel better. Hit play to hear their stories!
Megan: From Student to Digital
Manager
Megan is the glue that holds our team together, managing everything
from card consultations to staying on top of the best credit card
offers. A longtime points and miles enthusiast, Megan took her
first points-funded trip to China in 2014, booking round-trip
flights and two weeks of hotels for free! Fast forward to today,
and she’s orchestrating epic family adventures, including a
two-week trip to Hawaii and Australia. Her advice? Don’t be afraid
to expand your plans. As Megan says, “We were already halfway to
Australia, so why not go all the way?”
Traci: The Fact-Checking Pro
Traci’s role is all about keeping our blog and content accurate and
compliant, but her travel experience is just as impressive. She’s
been in the points and miles game for over a decade and even
introduced Jess to this world! Traci shared highlights from her
family’s DIY around-the-world trip, pieced together with points and
miles. From art tours in Milan to a luxury cruise in Ha Long Bay,
Traci’s travel philosophy is all about maximizing memories while
balancing practicality. And yes, she admits economy ankles are
real—but so is the joy of exploring new destinations!
Claire: Building Memories with Birthday
Trips
As our Facebook community manager, Claire is a familiar face to
anyone in our group. But did you know she started her points
journey by buying Travel Mom Squad’s course for herself? Since
then, Claire has turned family birthdays into opportunities for
travel. Her next adventure? Taking her oldest to London and Paris
for senior photos—a dream trip made possible with points.
The Takeaway: Your Team, Your
Inspiration
What makes Travel Mom Squad special isn’t just the places we’ve
been—it’s the team behind the scenes, working to help you unlock
the magic of points and miles.
Whether you’re new to points or a seasoned pro, this

memories with your family. Tune in now to hear their stories and
