One rainy Tuesday in a London terminal, Arthur met Clara, a woman who looked suspiciously well-rested for someone who had just stepped off a fourteen-hour haul from Singapore.
"Finally," she tapped her phone, "use Point.me . It’s a search engine specifically for your credit card points. It’ll tell you that your 80,000 random miles are actually a golden ticket on Qatar Airways if you transfer them right now ."
"Then there are the 'Secret Societies' like Skylux Travel or Cook Travel . They buy tickets in bulk like a wholesale club. You have to call them, which feels old-fashioned, but they can slash a business class fare by 40%."
"The secret," Clara said, spotting Arthur’s ergonomic neck brace, "isn’t just having the money. It’s knowing where the 'gatekeepers' hide the deals."
