I’m Phillip — a frequent traveler on a mission to make premium travel accessible.
After visiting 62 countries, I’ve learned one thing: the best travel experiences are rarely the most expensive. With Pointalize, I’m sharing the exact playbooks I use to fly First Class and stay in luxury hotels, all for a fraction of the cost.
Explore My Travel StoriesWhy I Started Pointalize
Friends constantly asked how I manage to fly business and first class for the price of economy. My spreadsheets turned into repeatable workflows, then into tools. Instead of keeping everything private, I launched Pointalize so anyone can follow the same proven systems to:
- Choose the best credit cards for rewards and travel
- Redeem points for maximum value
- Avoid costly traps and hidden fees
