This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of IHG Rewards Club for IZEA. All opinions are 100% mine.

I live for travel.

This past year I’ve been to twenty different destinations, ranging from nearby South Beach in Miami to as far as Thailand. Just last week I visited the Outer Banks for a fabulous activity based trip that involved horseback riding, kayaking, and more.

As a travel writer I get to experience the world and bring the best of what I learn to you. But, when it comes to personal travel, I make certain that I’m staying in the hotels that I love, and I ALWAYS try to get the MOST for my money.

I was in Thailand in March and the Canadian Rockies in April, but I knew that all of my travel points would mean that I’d be able to “go home” to Rhode Island later this summer, and stay at the Crown Plaza in Warwick, close to my sorta-sister and friends.

How?

By making SURE that I’m getting the BEST rewards points for my travel and stays. I may live for travel, but I LOVE my points.

What makes a points program get a Champagne Living gold star?
