From negotiating with contractors on a multi-million dollar clinic build to strategically choosing between Chase, Capital One, and Amex cards, Andrea shares actionable tips for entrepreneurs looking to turn their business spend into unforgettable travel rewards. They dive deep into the pros and cons of sharing points with partners, the surprising differences between credit card issuers, and how Andrea used AI to decide between points and cash back. You’ll also hear about her family’s premium cabin redemptions, the true value of understanding credit card fine print, and how setting aside just one hour can lead to long-term rewards.
