Frequently Asked Questions

Is this course really free?

Yes. All 19 lessons are free. Lessons 2+ require a newsletter signup to unlock, but there's no paywall, no hidden fees, and you can unsubscribe anytime.

How long does the course take?

About 3 hours 14 minutes total (6-15 minutes per lesson). You can complete it at your own pace — there's no deadline.

Do I need a credit card to start?

No. The first four lessons cover fundamentals before recommending any cards. We recommend having a credit score of 700+ before applying for travel cards.

Will this hurt my credit score?

Applying for credit cards causes a temporary 5-10 point drop per application. We teach responsible card management and spacing applications (3-6 months apart) to minimize impact. Long-term, responsible use improves your score.

What if I've never traveled before?

Perfect! This course is designed for absolute beginners. We start with the basics and walk you through every step from opening your first card to booking your first award flight.
