Joe has been writing about travel for Your Mileage May Vary since 2017, with a focus on credit cards, points and miles, airline and hotel loyalty programs, and how all of those things work in the real world. He’s been collecting and redeeming travel rewards for more than two decades and tends to look at the details, the fine print and whether a benefit is actually useful. He also writes about the trips he and his wife Sharon take, including the planning, the surprises and the occasional travel mishap along the way.
