Ashley Chasing Points

Points-funded family travel

Travel more without blowing up your budget.

I'm Ashley — a travel-obsessed mom with a full-time job, big financial goals and never enough PTO. I've figured out how to sneak away with my family as often as I can, and points are how I pay for it. Come see how it works.

My story

A working mom, two kids, and not nearly enough PTO.

Early in 2025 I got tired of feeling like I had to choose between saving for the future and creating special memories with my family. Honestly, the travel I actually wanted to do just didn't feel reachable — every trip I looked at came with a price tag that either made me hesitate or give me a 'no way'. Then I learned how credit-card welcome offers work, and those hesitations and nos finally turned into a yes.

Nothing about our spending changed. We put the groceries, the gas, the bills we were paying anyway on the right card, cleared the balance in full, and let the welcome offer cover the flights and the stay.

It's all about how to make your money and spending work for you, not against you.

Now we get away somewhere new every six weeks or so — short trips, usually two to seven days, squeezed in around work and school. Real memories, without wrecking the budget.

Trips don't have to be big to be worth taking.

I'll email you when there's something genuinely worth knowing about — an offer I'd take myself, a booking that worked out really well, or the real numbers from wherever we just went. Nothing more than that.
