My family recently took a summer bucket list trip to Banff National Park and surrounding areas. The pictures and videos you see of this are so beautiful and don’t even do it justice.

This is the post where I share all the points and miles strategies I used to book my family’s Summer Bucket List trip to the Banff area. You can try out part of these options or stack them like I did for the maximum amount of points earned and spent.

If I Could Live in an Attraction: Ben’s Top 5
As we all anxiously await the reopening of the most magical place on earth, many of us have spent considerable time indoors. I, for example, live in a small apartment in the city with my wife.
