Shownotes

Dr. Devon Gimbel was skeptical at first. The idea of using credit card points to fly business class instead of economy seemed too good to be true. But she was willing to give it a try.


Fast forward 10 years, and Dr. Gimbel has turned her passion for points into a full-time business, helping physicians and entrepreneurs unlock a world of luxury travel they never thought possible.



Through strategic credit card usage, she's earned millions of points, booking nearly half a million dollars worth of travel for her family. First-class flights, 5-star hotels, unforgettable experiences—all for less than the cost of flying economy.



Now, she's on a mission to empower more women to travel the way they truly want to. 



Join Dr. Vikram Raya as he picks Devon's brain for top tips on how to turn everyday expenses into extraordinary adventures.




"I just started slowly learning, slowly opening up credit cards, using them, learning how to do this responsibly, and it changed my entire life."
