Ethan Steinberg | Expert Contributor

Ethan Steinberg is a seasoned journalist with nearly a decade of experience covering credit cards, airline loyalty programs, and award travel strategy. He previously served as a senior writer for The Points Guy and has also contributed extensively to Business Insider, Forbes and CNN, where he broke down complex topics in personal finance, miles and points, and international travel. Ethan’s passion for award travel was sparked during his time living in China after college, where navigating foreign loyalty programs and long-haul flights on a student budget taught him the real-world value of points and miles. Since then, he has flown hundreds of thousands of miles using rewards points and built travel itineraries that maximize both luxury and value. He specializes in translating the fine print of credit card benefits into actionable advice and has a particular love for obscure redemption sweet spots. He is currently pursuing a dual MD/MPH degree at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine, where he continues to draw on his experiences living and traveling abroad to explore the intersection of global health, policy, and accessibility.
