About Your Hosts

Dr. Devon Gimbel


 

My travel world changed forever after discovering the power of credit card points and miles - after using the points from a single welcome bonus to book a first-class flight on Lufthansa to Paris in 2014, I've never looked back.

 

After earning and redeeming millions of points for hundreds of thousands of dollars worth in unforgettable travel experiences, I founded Point Me To First Class to help others turn their expenses into wishlist travel experiences, too.

 

I'm on a mission to help others travel more, travel better, and travel smarter by leveraging their expenses as assets - especially women!

 

Everyone deserves to experience their version of first-class travel (regardless of what section of the airplane they prefer to fly in!)

 

After creating the popular PMTFC facebook group and launching the top-rated PMTFC podcast, I knew it was time to host a points travel conference to celebrate this amazing award travel community and help us all up-level our award travel skills.

 

I can't wait to meet you in September!

Dr. Andrea Mabry

 

As a dermatologist, wife, and mom of two in Little Rock, AR, my enthusiasm with the points and miles world began with a memorable family trip to Iceland.

 

Picture this: a family member dealing with sciatica, stuck in an uncomfortable economy seat for hours, and missing out on most of our family adventures. After that, I was determined to find a way to elevate our travel experiences without blowing our budget.

 

That's when I dove headfirst into the world of points and miles. For me, it's the perfect blend of planning a trip, solving puzzles, and scoring amazing deals – all rolled into one addictive hobby. Seriously, the rush you get when you snag a killer redemption? It's pure dopamine!

 

I realized I wanted to take my skills to the next level and find a conference that was both informative for a more advanced user and fun. I knew that Devon's knowledge and skills would create my dream conference.  So, I jumped at the chance to lend a hand and ended up co-hosting – all in pursuit of creating the ultimate conference experience.  We're not just talking about learning new tricks.

 

We're building a community, sparking ideas, and making dreams of epic travel adventures a reality. So, if you're ready to join the ride, buckle up – because we're about to take this points and miles game to a whole new level!
