How I Got Started

I learned about travel hacking in college, where I overheard people talking about free vacations with points.

Who doesn't want free travel?

Naturally, I started researching and stumbled upon travel blogs with copious amounts of info. And I got really confused and overwhelmed.

Here's The Problem

Travel blogs suck.

Truth is, travel blogs are written for experienced travel hackers. It's the worst way for beginners to learn travel hacking. It's confusing and overwhelming. So. Much. Noise.

 

That's Why I Created

More 5-star reviews from my students!

"Julian's inaugural Points Academy Course was comprehensive and presented in an easy to absorb manner for beginner to intermediate level travel hackers. I got tremendous value from learning to maximize my travel points redemption, so much so that I have already applied the knowledge towards planning a European summer trip for my family. I also enjoyed the interaction between cohort mates. Julian has such an easy demeanor making it easy to learn from him. Highly recommend Points Academy to anyone who wants to level up their travel hacking. Julian will definitely save you both time and money on your adventures and have you on your way in no time."

- Chuck O

“I’ve always worried that travel hacking would hurt my credit score, but lesson 3 really helped me understand that it wouldn’t. You made travel hacking easy, efficient, and un-intimidating to learn, and basically brought it to my front door so I didn’t have to search.”

- Roseanne K

"Your course was really instructional and easy to understand. I now know exactly what I need to do to start travel hacking, and I’ve already started by applying for a new card!"

- Katya V

"This course has really helped me practically determine next steps and to really allow me to go where I want to within the next year."

- Daniel L

"We have been travel hacking for a while already so for us, the course was a great review and we also learned a few new things! For people new to travel hacking, I think the course is an excellent way to get an overview of travel hacking. The course does a great job explaining the steps of travel hacking in an easy-to-understand way."

- Melissa L

"Julian’s course was amazing! I’ve already made back my initial investment 3x by using the travel hacking knowledge shared. The class is very comprehensive yet straightforward. I would highly recommend the course for anyone interested in traveling hacking."

- Anna K

"The Points Academy course was extremely helpful to me! I learned everything from how to pick a credit card, optimize the rewards, and how to repeat the process without tanking my credit score. I'm booking travel now and making plans to get large signup bonuses for free travel in the future. I finished the course feeling confident in my knowledge and motivated to take action in my travel hacking journey. I'd highly recommend this for anyone who wants to earn free travel!"

- Austin K

"I had never heard of the term 'travel hacking' until I came across a post by Julian on LinkedIn. Curiosity and a love for travel drew me to more of his posts and then eventually to signing up for his course. Fast forward to finishing it. I learned more in three weeks about earning free flights and nights at hotels than I could've done in a few months learning on my own. Julian's course gives a great foundation for learning how to travel hack, and he equips you with the tools to create your own travel goals and get out there to travel for free as soon as possible! I enjoyed it so much, I have been telling all my friends and family about travel hacking."

- Samuel K

"I've been travel hacking for 10 years, but I decided to take Julian's course anyway because Julian seemed to know a little more about travel hacking than me. He was hacking much bigger trips, while I would do just a few domestic hacks each year. I was a little bit skeptical though, because I thought, "I know what's up!" But I was wrong. Julian's course blew me away. And this is coming from someone with multiple credit cards and years of experience travel hacking. Honestly, the price is way too cheap for the course. It should be $497 at minimum because of the value it delivers. I recommended it to all my friends and family, and I told all of them to buy the course now before Julian raises the price!

So if you're on the fence, honestly, you're going to make your money back and then some on your first trip alone. Go take the course and thank me (and Julian) later!"

- Drew White

"I took Julian's Points Academy course, and even as a certified financial planner, I learned a ton about the power of credit cards, how you can redeem them and use them for your personal situation. When I'm advising my clients, any way you can unlock value is critical. And with credit cards, even if you don't spend a lot of money in a year, you can easily get back a couple thousand dollars. For people with business expenses, large budgets, a big family, etc? There's thousands of dollars of value you can get from travel hacking.

I can't encourage people enough to learn more about travel hacking, and Julian's course is a great way to do it."

- Mando Sallavanti

"I joined Julian's Points Academy course thinking that I knew it all. I've been a business traveler for years, I'd accrued and used points. But I came to understand that I did not have the fundamentals of travel hacking down, at all. Julian taught me how to leverage different credit cards, understand different types of points that I had, and how to consistently generate points through various strategies and techniques. In just a few weeks after taking Julian's course, I've already booked a trip to Europe with my family, where our flights are paid for! I would highly recommend this course to everyone who wants to learn travel hacking."

- Christopher Nelson

"I was not a typical student of travel hacking for beginners, as I've already been travel hacking for almost a decade. So I really thought when I took Julian's course, it was going to be a refresher for me. But I couldn't have been more wrong! I realized that I was operating at a 101 level, and Julian was able to take me to 301. He's truly a master in ensuring that you get the highest point valuation at the time of redemption. Within two months, we booked a round trip flight to Argentina and a weekend in Denver that included free flights and hotels.

I would highly recommend this to anyone who is looking to explore the world without breaking the bank. Truly life changing. Couldn't recommend it any higher. I think everyone should take this course and they can benefit from it!"

- Chelsea Linge

"Julian Fung’s Points Academy is well worth the investment of time and money. I’ve been utilizing travel credit cards and loyalty programs since 1989, but Julian opened my eyes to free travel opportunities I had no idea were available. Ugh! The decades of points, free nights and status upgrades I have left on the table, not knowing what I learned in Points Academy.

Each session is lively, packed with tons of information and also very interactive. Julian encourages each participant to set a personal travel goal then helps us develop strategies to attain it. My goal is attaining a coveted airline status this year. Julian explained the trick to reach this status within 6 months. Julian, thanks for sharing your knowledge!"

- Kim K

"I learned so much from Julian's travel hacking cohort 2 group. Julian breaks down travel hacking into easy steps that anyone can understand. He provides many options and you decide which plan works best for you. After taking his course, I realized redeeming credit card points for travel is a better deal than getting cash back. I learned many tricks and now I look at credit card offers in a more educated and informed way.

I highly recommend Julian's travel hacking course for anyone who wants to get free hotels or plane tickets. It is fun to get free trips! Thank you Julian for giving me the confidence to travel hack!"
