Market Opportunity
Travel rewards enthusiasts obsess over maximizing credit card points, airline miles, and hotel status. A consultancy teaching: points strategy, credit card optimization, award booking techniques, and status challenges — serves a niche willing to pay for expertise that unlocks free travel.
The Idea
Offer travel rewards optimization services. Products: 'Points Strategy Session' 1-on-1 ($199–399), 'Award Booking Service' where you find and book flights/hotels using points ($99–249 per booking), online course 'Travel Free: Points & Miles Mastery' ($199–499), and newsletter with deals and strategies.
Key to Success
- Points and miles change CONSTANTLY — devaluations, new transfer partners, limited-time offers; expertise must stay current
- Demonstrate SAVINGS — 'I booked a $15,000 first-class flight for 80,000 points' — specific examples sell the service
- Partner with credit card affiliate programs — card signup bonuses are among the highest-paying affiliate programs
