Hey Travel Junkies,

Reach your spending bonus.
Get your points.
Earn some more.
Spend them.
Repeat.
This is the life of a points/miles enthusiast and it works. But this is not the only way to travel often and travel well for a fraction of the cost.
Sometimes it makes sense to buy a flight with cash. Particularly when you can find a killer deal.
You might think that if you're paying for a flight, you're flushing money down the toilet. A good points/miles junkie would never be so foolish!
But today I am here to show you otherwise.
I want to tell you that it's time to start thinking differently. In fact, sometimes paying for a flight is the smartest thing an avid points collector can do, but that doesn't mean you have to pay thousands for a flight.
The team at Next Vacay found a way for you to have your cake and eat it too.
Here's how Next Vacay works
To start, all you have to do is sign up and share your home airport. The entire process takes less than 60 seconds.
Then their proprietary software checks every major airline continuously for the best possible deals. Their 20 person deal team then hand verifies that the round trip flight is bookable, widely available, and is reasonable (they don't send deals on sketchy airlines or ones that require crazy layovers). Finally, if a deal is legit they send you an email with instructions on how to book it and a link.
Their emails look like this:

My day starts with a few of these in my inbox.
This is different than the dozens of other flight deal sites that you may have seen or already been following. While many of those rely on automated data from 3rd party sources, Next Vacay has real people running the searches to make sure they only share the ones that work best for their clients.
Once you're in the system you can see all the dates the deal is available and all your flight options. You no longer have to spend hours trying to find a great deal, they just show up in your inbox.

$500 for a flight to Paris? Yes please!
Next Vacay is a family owned business that got its start when the founders, Naveen and Shaylee, wanted to visit family in India without overpaying for flights. Both were busy and tired of re-checking sites to find out if prices have dropped, they created a system to find better, cheaper flights. The result was round-trip flights to India for $300 each. Word spread fast about Naveen and Shaylee's numerous travels. Friends started to ask "how did you do it?" and Next Vacay was born.
What's unique about Next Vacay is that they're looking directly at airline deals and will only message you when there's an amazing price to grab. Because you book directly with the airline, you can pay with any points or miles you transfer in and can also use the Chase Ultimate Rewards portal to redeem miles on the purchase.
For example, Next Vacay sends you a notification of a $575 flight deal from Columbus to Dublin on American Airlines, you can book on Chase's portal using points or can pay with miles or cash directly on AA.com. One of their members, Allison, used her points to get San Francisco to Barcelona round-trip flight for $10 out of pocket.
Boom.
You don't just need to use your points to get a cheap deal. 10xT Readers are always looking for ways to maximize point accumulation, or reaching that next shiny level of status. Next Vacay is perfect for finding mileage runs to awesome destinations that keep your wallet full and your points high.
Best of all, Next Vacay knows your home airport so if you're in Los Angeles you're not going to get deals out of Miami. But you will get deals out of nearby airports like Orange County and Palm Springs. They thought of it all!

Here's What Members See
Every week members receive email notifications with deals for round-trip flights from $250-$400 from the US to places like Barcelona, Paris, and Tokyo. These are flights that aggregator sites like Kayak or Priceline often miss and would take forever to locate on your own, checking dozens of airlines every hour for thousands of destinations and trying to remember what a good deal looks like.
