Frequently Asked Questions

About Perks & Rec

What exactly does Perks&Rec do?

Perks & Rec is a travel consulting service for points-savvy travellers who want smarter strategies and better perks—without the stress. I help you use your airline and credit card points where they’re worth the most (usually flights) and book your hotels through luxury partner programs that unlock VIP perks like free breakfast, upgrades, and $100 credits—even if you don’t have elite status.

Are you a travel agent?

Yes—I'm a certified travel advisor through Fora. That means I can book hotels with exclusive perks that you can’t get on Expedia or even by booking directly. I’m also a points nerd, so I help you stretch your rewards further and avoid rookie redemption mistakes.

Are you a travel agent?

Yes! For clients who want full concierge planning, I’ll handle the strategy, bookings, and logistics—flights, hotels, points, and perks—so you don’t have to lift a finger.

Point Strategy

Why should I use points for flights and not hotels?

Because it’s usually the smartest move. Airline redemptions—especially in business or first class—tend to give you way more value per point than hotel redemptions. Meanwhile, booking hotels through me gets you VIP perks without using points. This way, you get the best of both worlds: fly like a baller, sleep like one too.

What if I don’t have any points yet?

No problem. I’ll point you toward the best credit cards and programs to get started. But I only offer points strategy as part of a bundled service that includes hotel booking—so once you’ve got points to work with, I’m here to help you use them well.

Can you book award flights for me?

I don’t book them directly, but I’ll guide you through the process with a personalized strategy: which programs to use, how to transfer points, when to book, and what to avoid. You’ll get clarity and confidence—without the headache.

Do you book flights too?

I generally try to push you away from basic economy cash flights—because as a points fiend, I genuinely don’t think they’re worth it. Instead, I’ll help you:

  • Use your points where they go the furthest (think business class or transatlantic flights)
  • Strategize redemptions across Amex, Chase, Capital One, and airline programs
  • Transfer smart, avoid surcharges, and find availability you didn’t know existed

If you’re playing the points game, flights are where the magic happens. Hotels are where I unlock the perks.

If you’re paying cash, I can access discounted premium fares through trusted partners—but I won’t waste your time booking $200 basic economy tickets. You can handle those. I’m here for the strategy.

Hotel Bookings with Perks

What perks do I get when you book my hotel?

When you book through me, you’ll unlock VIP perks like:

  • Daily breakfast for two
  • $100 hotel credit (spa, dining, etc.)
  • Room upgrades (when available)
  • Early check-in and late checkout
  • Welcome amenities and personalized service

All at no extra cost to you.

Is it more expensive to book through Perks and Rec?

Not at all. Rates are the same—or better—than what you’d find booking directly. The difference is you actually get perks and support.

Do you charge for hotel bookings?

Nope. Hotel-only bookings are free. I get paid via commission from the hotel—not from you.

Already Have Status

I already have hotel status—do I still get anything extra by booking through you?

Yes—and in many cases, even more than if you booked directly. When you book through me using Fora’s preferred partner programs:

  • You're often prioritized for upgrades ahead of regular elites
  • You still earn loyalty points and elite night credits
  • You stack your elite benefits on top of partner perks
  • I can advocate for you personally if you need support

TL;DR: You worked hard for your status—this just supercharges it.

Working With Perks & Rec

Why not just use a traditional travel agent?

Because traditional travel agents often push packaged deals, cruises, or all-inclusives—and don’t get points or elite perks. Perks & Rec is for people who want freedom, strategy, and elevated experiences without being upsold or talked down to.


This isn’t just booking—it’s travel done smarter.

Do you work with couples, families or groups?

Definitely. Whether it’s a honeymoon, a family trip, or a group getaway, I’ll make sure the plan works for everyone. Just include the details in your intake form and I’ll take it from there.

What’s included in the $149 Strategy + Perks Bundle?

  • A 60-minute 1:1 consult on how to use your points
  • Personalized hotel recommendations + booking with perks
  • Recap email with links, flight strategy, and hotel perks summary
  • $50 credit toward future services if you book with me

Do I need to sign a contract?

Only for full concierge trip planning. For hotel bookings and bundles, you'll just agree to my Terms & Conditions when you book.

What is your refund policy?

Consultation fees are non-refundable. If you book and I find that you're not ready to benefit (e.g. no points or no trip), I’ll apply your payment as credit toward a future booking or concierge service.

Payment & Policies

How do I pay for your services?

You’ll pay upfront when booking the consult or concierge package through my secure checkout system. Hotel bookings are free (I earn commission), and I’ll always confirm the rate before booking anything.

What’s your cancellation or refund policy?

Consults and planning fees are non-refundable, but if your plans change, I’ll happily apply your credit to a future trip.

Destination Specialization or Limitations

Do you specialize in certain destinations?

I’ve helped clients plan trips all over the world, but I especially love LGBTQ+ hot spots, Asia or of course New York City. If I’m not the best fit for your destination, I’ll let you know—and help point you in the right direction.

Turnaround Times

How quickly will I hear back after submitting my trip request or consult form?

You’ll hear from me within 1–2 business days. Strategy + Perks clients typically get their full recap and booking recommendations within 3–5 business days after our consult.

Contact

How can I contact you?

If you’re a current client—whether you booked a consultation, hotel, or full concierge trip—you’re always welcome to reach out.

  • 📧 Email is the best way to share details, get updates, or ask questions. Reach me at hello@perksandrec.com. I'll respond within 1–2 business days. 
  • 📱 Text is great for quick questions or time-sensitive travel issues. (Think: “Can you confirm my check-in time?” or “What’s the name of that lounge again?”)
  • 📞 Phone calls are by appointment only, so I can give each trip the dedicated focus it deserves.


Concierge clients get priority access, real-time support during travel, and the option to contact me via WhatsApp for fast, flexible check-ins.


If you’re not yet a client and just exploring, feel free to email me or fill out a trip request form to get started. I can’t offer personalized travel advice unless we’re working together—but I’d love to help once you’re ready.
