How It Works
Step 1: Initial Consultation
Once you decide to work with me, we will have a brief free phone consultation to so that I can make sure that you are a good candidate for the danSmiles program, and that I can help you save lots of money by traveling for free.
Step 2: Form
I will email you a form asking you to fill out some information within 30 days related to your travel goals, credit score and all current credit cards that are open (this will not include your account numbers). This typically takes about an hour. Once you submit the form your job is done and I go to work for you! I will assess which cards are providing you value so that I can recommend which cards you may want to close, and which cards you may want to open, in order to reach your travel goals.
Step 3: Schedule a Video Conference
Once you complete the form, I will reach out to you to schedule a video conference. This meeting typically last 1.5 hours, but can range from 1 to 2 hours.
Step 4: Teaching you how to use your miles most effectively
During our meeting I will teach you everything you need to know about how to maximize free travel, including:
- Reviewing your Credit Karma account with you so that you fully understand your current credit score. I will explain what impacts your credit score so that you are able to maintain excellent credit even while maximizing travel rewards with credit cards.
- Helping you to understand how to maximize credit card sign-up bonuses.
- Teaching you how use your miles most effectively.
- Reviewing your specific data and how it relates to your customized plan.
- Presenting your customized plan which will include recommendations about credit cards that you should apply to based on your travel goals and how your specific data coincides with the current offerings from banks and credit cards.
