Spend as a Strategic Asset: How Sophisticated Leaders Turn Everyday Credit Card Spend Into First-Class Travel
Most leaders see credit card spend — personal and business — as a cost of doing business. The best treat it as an asset class. A content-first, zero-pitch session on the systems sophisticated operators use to convert the spend already leaving their accounts into six-figure travel value — delivered by someone who has spent 25 years doing exactly that across 120 countries.
WHAT YOUR MEMBERS WALK AWAY WITH
- ◆A framework for auditing their personal and business card setup on the spot — most attendees find five figures of unclaimed value in the room
- ◆How points and miles actually work as a currency: earning multipliers, transfer partners, and why cash-back is usually the wrong answer for owners
- ◆The business-owner playbook: routing payroll, AP, ad spend, and vendor payments through the right instruments — compliantly
- ◆How to fly international first and business class for a fraction of retail, with real redemption case studies
- ◆Live Q&A on attendees’ actual situations — interactive, tactical, and immediately applicable
