Core Philosophy
We believe success shouldn't only be measured by money accumulated.
It should also be measured by experiences collected.
Twenty years from now, you won't remember another quarter's revenue. You'll remember watching the sunrise over Milford Sound, celebrating an anniversary in Bora Bora, walking through Kyoto, or discovering your next big business idea while overlooking Patagonia.
Travel changes people. It creates perspective. It strengthens relationships. It fuels creativity.
It reminds us why we worked so hard in the first place.
We call this your Life Return on Investment™.

Why Most Entrepreneurs Never Figure Out Credit Card Points
Like most things, the first instinct is to figure it out yourself. You...

At first, it all seems straightforward.
Then you discover an entirely different world.
Each with different rules, timing, and strategies.
Before long, you're trying to learn a completely new language.
Then comes the biggest obstacle of all: Time.
Points and miles isn't something you learn once. Programs change. Airlines devalue. Transfer bonuses come and go. Award space appears and disappears by the minute.
Could you learn it? Absolutely.
But your highest-value contribution isn't researching credit card points.It's leading your company.
That's exactly why Point Me Abroad exists...not to give you another hobby, but to become your trusted advisor who handles the strategy for you.
Meet Your Private Travel Advisor
Chet Carter
Founder & Private Travel Advisor
Point Me Abroad is built for entrepreneurs who value leverage.
Instead of asking you to become an expert, we become the expert for you.
We review your spending, build your roadmap, recommend cards, monitor opportunities, help redeem your points, and handle the booking itself in most cases.
Having explored more than 35 countries, I’ve built Point Me Abroad around helping clients turn everyday spending into extraordinary travel experiences.
My love of travel began with a childhood trip to Peru with my dad—from helping communities outside Lima to exploring the Amazon by canoe. That experience shaped why I built Point Me Abroad: to help others experience how much travel can add to their lives.
You
In most cases, your responsibility is simple:

We measure it by the stories they come home with.
OUR OFFER
What You Get
The Executive Private Travel Advisory
You didn't build a successful business so you could spend your evenings researching credit cards, airline award charts, and hotel loyalty programs.
You built it so you could create a life worth living.
The Executive Private Travel Advisory turns the spending you're already doing into extraordinary international travel—without becoming a points and miles expert.
We handle the strategy, optimization, opportunities, and, when you want, the booking.
Your job is to run your business and enjoy the experiences it makes possible.
What's Included
360° Business & Personal Spend Audit
We analyze how you're already spending money across your business and personal life to identify opportunities you're likely missing.
Customized Credit Card Strategy
We determine which cards make the most sense for your specific spending, goals, and travel preferences—not a generic list of "best cards."
Personalized Card Roadmap
You'll know what to apply for, when to apply, and why. In cases where you already have the right cards in your wallet, we will make sure you're leveraging them properly.
Step-by-Step Implementation
We guide you through the process so you never have to wonder what to do next.

Unlimited Support
You have access to me by phone, text, email, and virtual meetings as needed during reasonable hours.
Actual Award Booking
And When It's Time to Travel, We Can Handle the Booking
Finding the right award is only half the battle.
Once we identify the right flights and hotels, we can personally book them for you with secure account access.
We'll set you up with 1Password so you can securely grant access to the loyalty accounts we need. You remain in control and can revoke access at any time.
We handle the details. You just pack your bags.
What You Can Expect
12–18
Month advisory relationship
The advisory relationship typically lasts 12–18 months.
First 12 months
You receive unlimited program support and unlimited trip-booking services.
Beyond 12 months
If your advisory relationship extends beyond 12 months, you receive three additional Trip Booking Services.
The objective
Help you turn your existing spending into at least $40,000 of international travel booked for approximately 95% less than comparable cash pricing.
Many clients
Many clients generate $50,000–$100,000 or more in travel value.
Travel-value examples and savings depend on individual spending, card approvals, award availability, destination, travel dates, and redemption choices. The approximately 95% savings target assumes long-haul international business-class travel, with First Class when available.

Why We're Different
The same spending.Five very different outcomes.
Illustration based on $250,000 in annual spending.
Cash back is a cash reward; travel value reflects comparable cash pricing for flights and hotels booked with points. The $40,000+ figure is a travel-value objective over a typical 12–18-month advisory relationship, not a guaranteed annual cash return or net savings amount. Advisory fees, card annual fees, and award taxes and fees are separate costs.
*Award availability is dynamic and can require access to loyalty accounts and account-specific searches. AI tools can assist with research, but availability, transfer options, and redemption opportunities can change quickly.
AI Can Give You Answers.We Take Responsibility for the Outcome.
Information
AI
AI has made learning about points and miles easier than ever.
But information isn't the same thing as execution.
AI can help you research, but you still need to know the right questions to ask and how to evaluate the answers. It isn't continuously monitoring real-time award opportunities, tracking your loyalty accounts, proactively adjusting your strategy as programs change, or booking your trips.
You're still checking availability, deciding what to transfer, managing the strategy, and executing the booking.
Execution
Point Me Abroad
- Strategy
- Monitoring
- Execution
- Booking
That's where Point Me Abroad is different. We build the strategy around your spending and travel goals, proactively identify opportunities, and can personally handle the booking when the right trip comes along.
You don't need another source of information.You need someone in your corner who knows what to do with it.
The Result Isn't More Points.It's More Life.
Imagine opening your calendar and seeing the trip you've been talking about for years.
The points are simply the mechanism. The real result is what they make possible.
More experiences. More perspective. More time with the people you love. More reasons to step away from the business you've worked so hard to build.

What You May Be Wondering
Our $40,000 Travel Guarantee
We're not asking you to take a leap of faith.
$40,000
International luxury travel
Our goal is to help you turn the spending you're already doing into at least $40,000 of international luxury travel value, booked for approximately 95% less than comparable cash pricing.
And we're willing to stand behind that.
If you haven't reached $40,000 in qualifying booked travel by the end of your initial program period, we'll continue working with you at no additional cost until you do.
We'll continue optimizing your strategy and helping you find and book qualifying travel until we've reached the $40,000 objective.
Your results will depend on factors including your spending, credit profile, card approvals, travel preferences, dates, destinations, award availability, and continued availability of credit-card and loyalty-program rewards.
The guarantee applies as long as the underlying rewards ecosystem remains materially available and you continue following the strategy and meeting the program requirements.
