The questions everyone asks.
What exactly do I get?
A done-for-you trip plan: the flights, cabins, hotels, costs and the points strategy behind every leg, all built into Trek, a private trip app you review and tweak with us. The Deep Dive also includes a personal card strategy so you earn the right points faster. When it's right, you book it from your own accounts.
Can you help me pick the right credit cards?
Yes. Half the game is earning the right points in the first place. We map a personal card strategy to how you already spend, so every dollar works harder toward the trip you want, without chasing cards you'll never use.
Do I have to share my passwords?
Never. We don't want and don't need your airline, hotel or credit-card logins. Your accounts stay entirely yours.
What does it cost?
The 15-minute audit is free. Ready to go deep? The $199 Deep Dive is a full hour, one-on-one, plus a written report you keep, a 6-month check-in, and access to our private community (where the best deals land first). Full done-for-you trips are quoted after that. No padded packages.
Can you guarantee award availability?
Honestly, no one can. Award space opens and vanishes by the hour. What we can do is tell you straight what's realistic with your points and dates, and chase it hard once we have a plan.
I'm new to points. Is this for me?
Especially you. Most people sit on more value than they realise and have no idea where to start. The free audit turns that pile of points into a plan. No jargon, no judgement.
Which programs do you work with?
Aeroplan, Amex Membership Rewards, Avios, Marriott Bonvoy, RBC Avion, CIBC Aventura, TD Rewards and the other major Canadian programs.
