About Us

Hey there, I’m Andy. In 2024, I left my comfortable tech career in the San Francisco Bay Area to travel the world. Since then, I’ve traveled to New York City, Seoul, Shanghai, Hong Kong, Chengdu, Chongqing, Kashgar, and many others. 

As I shared my adventures on social media, I got the same question over and over: “How do you afford all of this?” The upscale hotels. The business class flights. The airport lounges. Even free upgrades to penthouse and panoramic suites in hotel rooms.

The truth is, I’m obsessed with points and miles. For the past 10 years, I’ve been churning through credit card sign-up bonuses and racking up points. All of my trips (both domestic and international) are 100% free. There’s really no secret to it.

AC Travels was founded to share the exciting world of travel hacking. We look at your travel goals, credit card posture, and risk tolerance to build you a personalized credit card strategy that fits your needs. 

We supervise your entire journey from end to end. From the day of your first credit card acquisition to your actual vacation.
