Unlock the Power of Points and Miles for Your Clients in 2025

As a travel advisor, your role extends beyond arranging bookings—you are a trusted partner in crafting unforgettable travel experiences while optimizing your clients’ budgets. Points and miles are transformative tools that can elevate your clients’ travel plans, offering premium options without premium prices. However, unlocking their full potential requires strategic planning and expert insight.

At INTT Advisor, we are here to help you navigate the intricate world of rewards and loyalty programs. As we step into 2025, here are five actionable tips to help you maximize points and miles for your clients.

Transfer Rewards for High-Value Redemptions

When transferring credit card rewards to a loyalty program, you typically forgo earning frequent flyer miles on your ticket. However, this trade-off can be worthwhile if it allows you to save tens of thousands of points by using a partner airline program instead of redeeming through your credit card’s travel portal.

Before redeeming rewards via your credit card issuer’s portal, it is wise to compare award rates with transfer partners. Transferring points can be especially advantageous when cash prices are high, such as during peak travel seasons, or when loyalty program award rates are particularly favorable.

When you partner with INTT Advisor, we monitor loyalty program promotions and provide personalized recommendations to help you guide your clients on when and where to transfer points for maximum returns.

Seamlessly Track Points and Miles

Managing points and miles effectively can be challenging without proper tracking, especially when handling multiple client accounts, but this is where your expertise shines.

Manual tracking with tools like Word or Excel can be time-consuming and difficult to keep up to date. By partnering with INTT Advisor, you gain access to specialized tools and resources that allow you to easily review and organize your clients’ loyalty accounts. We ensure that no rewards go unused, helping you save your clients money while enhancing your reputation as a trusted advisor. Our team supports you at every step, making the entire process seamless and efficient.

Enroll Clients in Loyalty Programs

Even for infrequent travelers, loyalty programs unlock hidden value, providing extra perks that enhance the travel experience.

• Hotel Perks: Programs like Hilton Honors and IHG One Rewards offer free Wi-Fi, late checkout, and complimentary breakfast to members.
• Airline Rewards: Memberships like British Airways Executive Club let clients earn Avios with every flight, redeemable for future travel.

With INTT Advisor, we help you enroll your clients in the right loyalty programs and ensure they take full advantage of these opportunities. Together, we ensure no rewards are overlooked.

Maximize Rewards with Online Shopping Portals

Extend your clients’ earning potential beyond travel by introducing them to online shopping portals.

• Boost Miles or Points: Encourage clients to use platforms like Advantage eShopping or United MileagePlus® Shopping, which reward purchases from participating retailers.
• Cashback Flexibility: Portals like Rakuten provide the option to earn cashback or convert it to points, offering flexibility based on clients’ preferences.

INTT Advisor will support you by sending regular marketing emails with tips on utilizing these portals, especially during peak shopping seasons. This helps your clients build up points for future travel effortlessly.

By implementing these strategies, you can unlock the full potential of points and miles for your clients, helping them enjoy premium travel experiences while staying within budget. Whether flying first-class, indulging in luxurious accommodations, or earning rewards on everyday purchases, your guidance can make a significant impact.
At INTT Advisor, we are committed to empowering you with the knowledge and tools to deliver exceptional value. Together, let us make 2025 a year of smarter travel planning and unforgettable adventures for your clients.
