Learning how to make the most of credit card points and miles has completely changed the way we travel. It’s helped us visit our families in Brazil, take dream holidays with our kids, and even fly business class — all without paying full price.
Between us, we’ve redeemed hundreds of thousands of points for flights to Brazil, Germany, Spain, Colombia, US and more. These aren’t once-in-a-lifetime redemptions — they’re part of our everyday lives now, just by using the right cards and spending with intention.
Most of our points come from welcome offers and everyday purchases — groceries, council tax, house expenses — things we were going to pay for anyway. And yes, we’ve done all of this while keeping great credit scores, avoiding interest, and never complicating it more than it needs to be.
OUR STORY
Beta lives in London with her husband and young son. Travel has always been part of her life — and so have points. Back in Brazil, she learned how to use them well… so well, in fact, that she booked her honeymoon to New York before setting the wedding date (true story). After moving to the UK, it took her a little while to figure out the system again — but once she did, she started flying home regularly, upgrading her travel, and helping others do the same.
Nat has been living in the UK for over 12 years. A few years ago, after going through a tough season, she found herself with time to learn something new. That something turned out to be points and miles — and it opened up a new world of travel. She now plans trips with purpose, balancing meaningful solo adventures with fun family holidays. And yes, she still makes space for at least one beach holiday a year.
We met through a points and miles course for Brazilians living in Europe — and we clicked right away. We were constantly swapping tips, sharing redemptions, and helping each other get better results. Somewhere along the way, Fly Smart Club was born.
SOME OF OUR FAVOURITE POINTS & MILES ADVENTURES
FlySmartClub exists for one reason:
To help everyday people in the UK turn their points into flights — without wasting them on Tesco or Sainsbury's discounts.
You don’t need to fly every month or spend a fortune. You just need to know how to use what you already have.

We’d love to help.
We’re always sharing tips, trips, and behind-the-scenes on how we travel using points, without overcomplicating it.
