• How-to Use Miles and Points for Travel

Two weeks ago, I told you about my whirlwind extreme day trip to Paris—how I flew in, soaked up the city, and made it out in 24 hours.

But what I didn’t tell you? I didn’t pay a cent for my hotel. That’s right—FREE. And no, it wasn’t some sketchy hostel or a friend’s couch. I’m talking about a boutique hotel in the heart of Paris. Here’s how I pulled it off—and how you can too.

​

I stayed at Hotel Square Louvois, a stunning four-star hotel near the Louvre. The kind of place where you wake up in luxury, sip espresso in a chic lounge, and maybe even dip into the basement pool (yes, it has one!). And the best part? I booked it for zero dollars—all thanks to travel rewards.

It wasn’t some complicated trick. Just a simple strategy I’ve used for years to rack up points without spending extra money. If you love the idea of staying in dreamy hotels without the price tag, let me break it down for you…

Step 1: Use the right travel rewards card for everyday expenses.

​
​Step 2: Look for cards with insane welcome bonuses (they add up fast).

Step 3: Redeem them smartly—hotels often give you more value than flights.

But here’s the thing—picking the right credit card matters. Some offer free airport lounge access, others have no foreign transaction fees, and the best ones? They unlock free hotel stays like this one.

*For my Canadian friends, the best overall card is now the American Express card in any tier. The Green Card is a great choice if you're new to Amex and don't want the hefty annual fees.

I’ll be using this hack again for my next trip—where should I go next?
