You're earning the points. I turn them into the family trips you actually take. Paris, Tokyo, the Dolomites, spring break in DC. No more spreadsheets, or "we'll figure it out next year."

Kerry, points and travel strategist

Trusted by financial advisors to serve clients, Kerry also partners with Modern Family Finance in the Bay Area to provide points strategy as a value-added service for clientele.

01Sound Familiar?

You have points spread across multiple cards and airline accounts, but no clear strategy for using them.

You know there's value and you think about it from time to time. But with work, kids, sports schedules, that ballet class across the city, figuring out transfer partners and award bookings keeps falling to the bottom of the list.

And then —

Feel a pang of guilt when you hear about others using their points to travel the world?

You're earning the same points they are, sometimes more. The difference isn't luck or insider access. It's having a clear system for turning balances into trips your family will actually take.

That's where I help.
— Kerry
How it works

Three steps from scattered points to a booked trip.

01

Discovery Call

Free, 20 minutes

We talk about your family, your travel goals, and what's sitting in your Chase, Amex, Capital One, and airline accounts. You'll leave the call knowing if I can help, no pressure, no pitch.

02

Points Audit & Strategy

I dig into your balances, transfer partners, and upcoming bonuses. You get a clear, personalized plan: which points to use, where to transfer them, and the trips they unlock for your family's calendar.

03

Your Travel Calendar

You walk away with a curated set of trips mapped to your real life. Kids' schedules, school breaks, anniversary weekends. Book them yourself, or stay on with quarterly maintenance, so I keep your strategy current.

Family trips to Europe

I'm Kerry

In four years I've saved over $50,000 on family travel. I've taken six trips to Europe with my family of five, from Paris to London to Italy, all funded by credit card points we'd already earned.

Your next trip is already in your balance. Let's go find it.

Book a strategy call and finally turn what you've already earned into a clear, curated travel calendar, destinations chosen, itineraries built, the work handled for you.
