✦ Free 30-Minute Strategy Call

Your credit card points are worth more than you think.
Let me prove it.

Most people (including business owners running serious spend through their cards) redeem their points at 25 to 40% of their actual value. In one free call, Ross shows you exactly where you're leaving value on the table and what to do about it.

Most people are getting a fraction of what their points are actually worth

Banks profit when you don’t know better — and if you run a business, you’re likely leaving even more on the table. Here’s what that typically looks like:

  • Redeeming for cash-back or gift cards

    These are almost always the worst redemptions, often 40-60% below what your points are actually worth.

  • Holding the wrong card for your spending

    A personal card earning 1x on groceries — or a debit card earning nothing on $200K/yr of business expenses — when 4x is a single application away.

  • Points expiring unused

    Points don't compound. If you're not moving toward a redemption, you're losing value.

  • Not knowing which transfer partners to use

    Chase, Amex, Capital One, and Bilt points can be worth 2–5× more when transferred to the right airline partner.

Here's what working with Ross looks like

You get a clear, personalized action plan. No jargon, nothing generic. Just the moves that make the most sense for your specific situation, goals, and travel style.

  • 1 Audit your current cards, points balances, and spending patterns
  • 2 Identify every dollar you're leaving on the table right now
  • 3 Map out the exact cards and redemption strategy for your travel goals
  • 4 Leave with a custom slide deck action plan you keep forever
  • 5 Optional: Ross can do the research and booking work for you

A genuine traveler who figured out the points game — and wants to share it with you

Hi, I'm Ross Bradley. For over 7 years I've obsessively optimized credit card points, earning more than $45,000 in travel for my family — first class on Emirates, business class across Asia and Europe, trips we'd never have been able to afford otherwise. The same playbook works for families and for business owners who put serious volume through their cards.

I genuinely geek out on this stuff. Friends started asking for my points strategy advice years ago, and eventually I made it official. The goal is simple: get you on real trips, sooner than you thought possible.

You'll get a clear, prioritized path forward based on your situation, your spending, and your travel goals — nothing held back. Whether you want to learn the system yourself or have me handle the research and booking for you, you'll leave knowing exactly what to do next.

Here's how all of this actually works

If you're going to trust someone with your card strategy (especially if you're running a business, where the dollar amounts get bigger), it's only fair that you know how this works first.

$

I get paid even when you don't apply

My fee is for the strategy work, not the referral commission. If the best card for your situation is one I have no link for, that's still the card I'll recommend.

Bank-agnostic by design

Chase, Amex, Capital One, Bilt, Citi, Wells. Every issuer has trade-offs, and I work across all of them. You walk away with whatever card actually fits your spending.

§

What I'm not

I'm not a CPA, financial advisor, or attorney. For anything tax or accounting-related on business spend, I'll happily defer to your CPA. Points strategy is what I do.

Yes, quite a bit different. Business owners have access to a separate stack of cards (Chase Ink, Amex Business Gold and Platinum, Capital One Spark, and others) that don't count against personal card limits, often carry stronger sign-up bonuses, and earn 4 to 5 points per dollar on the exact categories you're already spending on (advertising, software, shipping, travel). For a business owner running around $100K/yr through their cards, a thoughtful setup typically finds $4,000 to $7,000 in year-one travel value, compared to roughly $1,200 to $2,000 for a consumer with moderate spending.
Strategy first, links second. I'll show you the right card for your situation whether I have a referral link for it or not. When I do have a link and the card is genuinely the right fit, I'll always pick the version that gives you the strongest sign-up bonus, even when that means a smaller commission for me. (Full affiliate disclosure on every card page, nothing hidden.)
Each application is a hard pull, which usually causes a small temporary dip of 5 to 10 points that recovers within a few months. Over time, a smart card strategy actually tends to improve your average account age and total available credit. We'll talk about your timeline on the call. If you're planning to apply for a mortgage in the next 6 months, the plan looks different. Also worth knowing: business cards typically don't even report to your personal credit report.
You probably still qualify. Side hustles, freelance income, Etsy shops, rental property income, even consistent reselling all count as a business in the eyes of card issuers. We'll talk through what you can legitimately apply for under Schedule C or sole proprietor status during the call. No LLC required.
30 minutes, no pitch. We'll talk through your current cards, points balances, spend categories, and what kind of trips you'd love to take. I'll flag the 1 or 2 biggest opportunities I see and give you a clear next step. If a deeper paid engagement makes sense, I'll say so. If not, I'll say that too.
My specialty is US-issued cards (Chase, Amex, Capital One, Citi, Bilt, and others). If you have a US address and an SSN or ITIN, we're good to go. International card programs aren't my area of expertise, and I'd rather tell you that upfront than wing it.
