Andrew Kunesh has written about award travel and credit cards for nearly 10 years. He was previously a Senior Editor at The Points Guy and CNN Underscored, and is now a freelance writer and editor who contributes to top travel publications. His work has appeared on The Points Guy, CNN, Upgraded Points, CreditKarma, Travel + Leisure, and various other publications. Andrew grew up in the Chicago suburbs and moved to New York City in 2018 after graduating from DePaul University's College of Computing and Digital Media. His credit card portfolio spans most major transferable points currencies, but his favorite currencies to earn and redeem are American Express Membership Rewards and Bilt Rewards points. This is thanks to many ways to redeem these points for high-end travel. He estimates he's redeemed over 2 million points and miles since he got his first travel credit card in 2014. He travels over 100,000 miles annually, primarily funded with credit card, airline, and hotel rewards. His favorite places to travel are Prague, Hong Kong, London, Penang, and Tokyo, but he's always searching for the next hot destination. When he's not traveling (or writing about it), you'll find Andrew in New York City searching for the best new restaurant.
