Northwest Graduate Travels the World for Free and Teaches Others To Do the Same

How He Does It

Max Frankel, an alumni of Germantown’s Northwest High School and DC’s American University, has always had a passion for travel. But to travel, one needs money, or so he thought, until he started to explore the world of points and miles. He figured out a strategy to effectively acquire as well as redeem points and miles to go on trips in which he only has to come up with money for his food and souvenirs. His strategy makes his points accumulate multiple times faster than people are used to. Then, he takes the points he quickly accumulates and applies his other strategy of finding flights using minimal miles. In this year alone, Max has visited Italy, Peru, Turkey, The United Arab Emirates, The Netherlands and Greece. And he is less than six months out of college. Max is already booking his flights for next year’s goal of visiting 15 countries in 2015.

Misconceptions

One might think you have to spend a crazy amount of money to earn the points to do this but Max’s strategy uses his everyday spending only. Simple everyday expenses of buying gas, groceries and entertainment create the points to fund his trips. His company, Max Points, defies the beliefs that one has to wait until they retire to travel or spend thousands of dollars to do so. Just this fall, he took his mother with him to Rome, Florence and Venice and their flights and hotels were completely paid for. It took 4 months of applying his strategy to his everyday spending combined with his Flight Finder strategy to get enough points for this trip. The most common response Max gets from people is that they do not think they spend enough to have his strategy work for them. This is another belief that Max Points easily dispels. For example, the average family that Max Points works with receives three round trip flights to Europe or two flights and one week of hotel stays per year. These families are not big spenders and simply use their everyday expenses such as their gas, grocery and online shopping expenses. The average small business earns five round trip flights to Europe or three flights and two weeks of hotel stays per year.

How You Can Travel For Free

Max offers his Points Maximization strategy through his company, Max Points (www.maxpoints.co). Max Points takes the mystery out of the convoluted world of credit card points and frequent flyer miles to make it possible for someone’s everyday spending to reward them with travel whether it’s in the United States or abroad. Clients simply answer a quick questionnaire about their everyday expenses and goals (cash back, flights and/or hotels) to see their points-earning potential before they purchase their detailed plan. The plan details how fast their points will grow and the simple strategies to do so. At no extra cost, he even makes himself available to you for a year to review your goals, points- earning and make sure that you are on track. Finally, through his flight finder service, Max helps you use minimal points for your flights.
